    Why you shouldn't buy a Mavic 2 or any drone that relies on your phone.

    I agree. The only reason I joined was initially due to the problem I experienced. I have had 100's of flights which have all been exceptional (the DJI hardware and software is really very very good) and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has not used DJI products.

    Out of control drifting and crash into wall

    No access to the logs unfortunately. Did manage to extract something from the App. But as mentioned with the disconnect it may or may not be accurate. I had hopped that the remote had data stored inside but this seems to not be the case. If the aircraft flys off you only have the data on the...

    Landing pad

    Yes, if the blade hits a finger it will hurt! If it hits your face it is probably worse (no close calls on the face). For these small quads like the Mavic hand catching / launching is great. I have a small pad I picked up for a spark a while back. When I am flying with someone new (dual...

    Why you shouldn't buy a Mavic 2 or any drone that relies on your phone.

    I have only used Apple Devices and never had the kind of issues you mention. I do use a dedicated device just for flying. It means that setup is super quick no need to plug the phone in. Instead just whip out the controller with the phone already attached. Also, my day to day phone is pretty...

    Carbon Fiber Props

    Interesting. I have not used them. Hence my previous comment about liking stock props. But I can see that if the RPM is lower then it may be a little less noisy. Maybe I will need to try them....??? I like how the stock props will just give way and clearly show any damage. It means you know...

    Carbon Fiber Props

    Rig Right on!!! I would agree 100%. I do a lot of hand catches. If you mess this up an a Mavic Pro and I guess the Mavic Pro 2, then the back prop can hit your thumb / finger. I have had that happened. It messed up the prop but I would rather that that having a messed up thumb / finger. I...

    Out of control drifting and crash into wall

    I am curious to know if you just performed a firmware update. I had a situation like this with a Mavic Pro which just took off after it exited from RTH mode. It had been in sport mode. Entered into RTH, then cancelled returned to home as it got close, then as soon as it was out of RTH mode it...

    Crash while Landing in RTH-Mode

    I had a similar issue. The Mavic took off when RTH was disabled. It was like someone had just activated both sticks on the controller.

    Mavic Pro firmware 01.04.0400 (Jul. 4, 2018)

    Yes after updating it said it was all good. Then when about to fly it said some components required updating okay. Then it had a message about a second cumpus. Foolishly I figured everything was okay. Flight was going fine an d then when about to land it just shot off and I never saw it again...
