Privately messaged you

Looking forward to it

First and foremost thank you for your service - it's because of great people such as your self and what you are willing to sacrifice that allow the masses of us to live the way we do. I appreciate you. For the record I have an Mavic 2 Pro and works fine in the same area I take off from with my...

Ah you added more - only got the first half at first I doubt I got 2 lemons also - do you think it could be the controller? Don't know what to do at this point - do I even bother contacting DJI about the controller possibly being the issue?

Good to know However that doesn't change anything for me lol I still only get about 300 ft distance - - maybe 500 on a good day where I spoke softly to the drone and encouraged it before take off.

No just the aircraft - sent both in together so that the issue could be narrowed down properly Maybe when they tested the aircraft and saw the Gimbal issue they just assumed the aircraft was the issue the whole time and didn't check the control

Would the same apply for a mavic air 2? I ask because my father in law has one and he says he sees the 2.4 channels and we live 10 miles from one another. I live in Suffolk County on Long Island in New York - USA ( wantes to be as clear as possible there lol) This is beyond frustrating - to...

So I keep reading that 2.4 ghz channels don't exist when you have an FCC control - so i'm stuck with 5.8 ghz if i understand that correctly - so my distance will be a few hundred feet because that's all i get before i lose connection.

Alright - so here we are - got my drone back - DJI was nice enough to replace the entire aircraft it seems and not just simply do the repair work like they originally suggested Reasons I think they swapped me out with a new unit - 1 - entirely new serial number on the aircraft 2 - there was a...

Will do - I'll update as soon as I can

Thanks - looking forward to getting a real flight out of this little guy.

Never had a spark only ever flew the mavic series but the bigger ones. This was my first smaller series aircraft. I'm due to get it back from DJI Wednesday so providing the weather is good - Thursday or Friday I'll be testing it and hopefully getting the true mavic mini experience.

Okay - so an update. Sent it in to DJI They are replacing under warranty the following: Core Board Module (FCC) Gimbal Axis Arm Module Hopefully this solves the issues and I can use this aircraft to it's fullest potential.

Sorry - I can't help you out with the drone portion of this post but hopefully you and anyone else involved were okay from the accident. Things can be replaced, people can't. Stay safe

Please do - I've been curious for a while. Thanks for looking into it
