    Everyone should watch this!

    Very interesting video. I've owned a Phantom and now a Mavic Pro and have had nothing but good experiences with both. DJI is an excellent company with great products and support.

    Sport mode is not my friend

    Same thing happen to me only a few weeks after getting mine. It was insured by State Farm Ins and they covered the entire repair. I sent it away to DJI and the repair took approx. 2 week and a total cost of $369. My insurance premium did increase this year from $25 to $38 per year.

    Too many issues... too many restrictions recently developing.

    I've owned a P3A and now a Mavic, live is suburban Phila. and have never felt the need to bash DJI for restricting my ability to fly and enjoy the drone-flying experience. Maybe that's because I use common sense when I use a product that could have a effect on others. I'm sure someone will...

    OA saved my Mavic today

Got a little carried away and in the process of making a "swooping turn" it clipped a tree branch and crashed. Three of the four arms broke off, I sent it into DJI for repair ($369), they...
