    Still worth it?

    Why am I reading about lots of people having lots of problems with Mavic drones?

    Totally agree. The main problem is the guy holding the RC!

    Visual sensors issue causing slow speed

    Hi, I crashed my MP a while ago and since then, the sensors are always saying something is about 15m away causing the MP to never go faster than about 14km/h. When I turn the sensors off, the max speed returns to around 45km/h. I've tried to re-calibrate the sensors but no joy. Any advice...

    Lost MP into lake trying to fly off sailboat - dumb mistakes

    Ugh, sorry... did the same thing myself a few months ago but on a motorboat. My MP hit a ski rope and dropped in the water. I jumped in after it with my controller and wife's iPhone! I managed to get all the kit back in the boat. Rice worked for the controller and iPhone but not the MP. Sent it...

    Mavic Pro crashes in water... but lives!

    :)... yeah... well now the longer I use it, the funnier it seems to get... VPS sometimes cuts out... it doesn't seem to be connecting to as many satellites... sadly I think I'm going to have to send the (old) girl back.

    Lost signal with mavic

    Hi Wottan, Since writing that, I have had another instance of lost video feed... I've noticed a bit of a pattern. If I use the iPhone 5s straight after I've been charging it, it seems to lose the vide feed. I think it's because the phone is too hot. I've since upgraded my phone... something I...

    Mavic Pro crashes in water... but lives!

    I had a really great weekend until Sunday when I tried to catch my Mavic on our boat. It was windy and getting rougher, the battery alarm was on, everything that could go wrong did... I panicked! I brought the Mavic in real close and it hit a rope and crashed into the water. (fresh) Without even...

    Lost signal with mavic

    Hi Jerbal... just found a possible fix on another thread... try cleaning out your charging port on your phone. I cleaned quite a lot of lint out of my iPhone 5s and so far no more lost video feed! Very happy!

    App showing disconnected, can fly but no video feed on phone

    Wow... thanks "Flawless"... I tried cleaning out my lightning charging port and found that quite a bit of lint came out. (It's a three year old iPhone 5s) Well... so far, it's done the trick! Thanks!

    Lost signal with mavic

    Hi. I'm having the same problems. About 50m up I lose all video feed. Very frustrating. I hope some help appears in this forum soon.
