    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    That was my initial thought too, that I needed Occusync. But apparently the WiFi on the MA is much more improved than the WiFi on the Spark. And people have posted plenty of footages from 1.5 miles out that I'm fairly happy confident it will do fine at least up to that. Most people rarely fly...

    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    The biggest difference to me is the form factor. I can carry the MA everywhere all the time (like a cell phone), which really isn't possible with the MP. When I first bought the MP, I thought it was amazing how portable it was. Now, even before the MA was released, I keep thinking how much of a...

    Don't Get It - Think DJI Might Have Shot Themselves in the Foot

    One way to look at it: Spark = Honda Fit Mavic Air = Honda Civic Mavic Pro = Honda Accord Another way: Spark = Old Navy Mavic Air = Gap Mavic Pro = Banana Republic Or: Spark = .22LR Mavic Air = 9mm Luger Mavic Pro = .45ACP

    MAVIC AIR,,, IN STOCK!!! Ships Today from USA :)

    I stopped by the store yesterday. It was actually happenstance. I had a screw stuck on the my front tire, so I found the nearest America's Tire since they do free tire patching. As I was pulling into the shop, I saw that DJI OC was right next door. So I walked over and check out the display...

    Mavic Air spotted

    For marketing purposes, you want the name to include the best selling model. This will probably sell at least 2x when named Mavic Air vs. Spark Air or Spark Pro or Spark Whatever. I recently sold my Mavic Pro (gasp!) because I wanted something more portable. I wanted something that I can always...

    Gimbal Plastic Cover

    Good point. If you already threw out the gimbal clamp, it's not a huge deal. You can still hold the lens with one hand and put on filter or clean with the other. But the gimbal clamp makes it so much easier.

    Mavic specs versus Phantom 3 Standard - are they that different?

    The camera on these drones are so tiny that it hardly matters. The only time it might matter is if you do a side by side, on a 75" TV, sitting 5 feet from it. On the same token, I don't think the P4P takes better videos than MP even though it has better specs. These are, IMHO, minimal difference...

    Galaxy Tab S2

    I use it without a tablet holder. Just straight on to the controller, much like how you would a smartphone. Fits great.

    Southern California - 909/626/714

    That's a beautiful area. Anything north of the 210 is pretty cool. I also like Yucaipa area near Crafton Hills College. Beautiful view of the valley and the mountains. For anyone living in/around San Bernardino, check out the drone page of the SBD airport: Drone Flight Information - San...

    Crashed My Hushpuppy today

    Interesting read. Thanks for sharing. And kudos for not getting all angry and blaming DJI in your story. Hope you'll be good to go with new props and filter.

    I see so many guys posting and asking why their Mavic crashed

    Um, you know that THIS site (MavicPilots.com) and pretty much every other site uses Google Analytics, right? Even if you use private browsing and Tor, you're still being tracked by just about every website. YOU are always the product, even if you are paying for the product.

    I see so many guys posting and asking why their Mavic crashed

    I think you're right. It's not really a good comparison. Because it's MUCH WORSE with drones than with airplanes. If you have been reading all the Mavic crash threads here and in other forums, about 80% of the time, it's obviously pilot error. And among the 20% where they swear it's not their...

    Poll: IOS or Android?

    I owned an iPad Mini 4 before I bought the Mavic. After buying the Mavic, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T710) specifically for the Mavic. Samsung S2 is much better than the iPad Mini 4. And if you sideload the DJI Go app ;), then it is SO MUCH BETTER than the iPad Mini 4.
