Great Point. I may even take the iron to the $1 as to flatten it more and create less drag in any direction. Thanks

If you have DJI Refresh, you need the drone back to get it fixed. You should always be able to see your drone while flying it but some times things happen and the drone is not where it looks like it crash landed. I've come up with a way to catch almost anyones eye when they see my drone. Of...

Here is my time to repair. Mavic Uno Repair/Refresh Time by j3rm posted Mar 7, 2017 at 4:37 PM

I just received an email saying my mavic was repaired and would be shipped out in 3days. Finally. Anyone else ? Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Curious How you destroyed your mavic? I did something stupid, and I knew better but I did it anyway. I tried to launch mine from the roof of my house outside a second story window. It started to take off and gravity helped it down the roof, then the Gimbal caught the gutter and the mavic went...

Your friend doesn't happen to have a YouTube channel about sailing does he? High value publicity always takes a front seat.

They said 2-3 weeks because they have no idea when the mavics will arrive from china. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

I think there is a new product for this scenario. A water activated product that is light weight but buoyant enough to float 2 pounds. I've got some ideas on how to accomplish it but there is a bit of engineering to be done to bring it to market. Hopefully someone with the right skills will come...

I'm leaving on a trip in a week, other wise I would wait for this to play out.. So I called DJI in L.A, CA and the agent there told me they don't have any in the USA to ship out and they are waiting for a shipment from the Main office in China to arrive in L.A., once they have them, then they...

Still waiting. Still under repair. I contacted dji via chat and they were little help. They said it could take 2-3 weeks. I guess there are a lot of broken mavics in the queue. Honestly I broke mine doing something stupid. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Ditto, saw a Youtube ad for this today. Its a little $$ but the ability to find my drone in most areas would be worth it.

How long did it take. I sent mine back for similar repair. Paid the refresh claim fee on 2/8. Still waiting for repair to begin on 2/14. Thx for reply Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

I purchased the getterback but in the ocean or moving water like a stream, I'm not sure its realistic in all moving water scenarios.

Sorry, no such product exist, yet. It would be nice if this company would build a water activated product for drones. www.kingii.com Maybe if people request it from the they will realize the market is there for such a device and deliver.
