    My MavicPro Is Fine

    I have a feeling I'm in the silent majority, just figured I'd speak up since no one ever does :) I don't expect perfection, and I don't expect it to last forever, but for now I'm happy.

    .700 is here "The-f-word" There is new firmware once again!

    No chance. That's how they all work.

    My first screw up

    Not gonna lie, I watched that repeat four times waiting for it to get to the clip where it got stuck in the trees not realizing it was repeating.

    My first screw up

    If the path of least resistance happens to be down, sure. If VPS stopped you because you were about to fly into the *top* of a tree, down isn't the best idea...

    My first screw up

    Fly out along the path of least resistance (i.e. leave the way you came). Probably involves flying backwards. Since the mavic has no rearward or upward sensors, you should always be able to go backwards or up. Also, use care when switching things off. Turning off VPS entirely would leave you...

    My MavicPro Is Fine

    Hi Everyone. Received and have been flying my MavicPro for a couple weeks now. With a couple hours of video and a few thousand photos, I'm happy to report my Mavic is fine. The only possible complaint I have is that the horizon isn't perfectly level all the time, but I didn't expect it to be...

    Making Mavic batteries flight safe.

    If I install the USB power bank adapter on it, it's not a spare it's a powerbank ;)

    Making Mavic batteries flight safe.

    No spare lithium batteries in checked luggage. It's not absurd, it's the law. You carry them on. Pack Safe – Lithium ion and lithium metal batteries, spare (uninstalled)

    Making Mavic batteries flight safe.

    Spare "pros"? Li-pos are carry on only unless installed in their device. Props? Why do they care??

    Did you know your Mavic charger could do this?

    The popular third party simultaneous charger uses mavic batteries to power its USB ports while it's not connected to mains power.

    Thank you, but the click bait title and 4-1/2 minutes of video for that was a bit much.

    Gimbal Motor Overloaded, The drone has never been crashed

    My gimbal lock was also not installed properly on arrival.. Fortunately mine seems to work fine.

    Gimbal Control

    It'll probably destroy compatibility with any Android version after 3.2 or on Android devices with screens larger than 3" and also devices smaller than 42" or Android devices whose operating system starts with "A" or which contain a power/lock button.

    DJI - Mavic Repair - FAIL

    Edit - scratch what I just said. Blew these way up to 3:1, I agree that the middle set of three shows a sharp image on the left edge while the rest of the frame is out of focus. Sorry man, good luck with repair #2.

    Is the Mavic for beginners?

    I'd punch a hovering X4, but I sure wouldn't punch a hovering mavic... I know you can do as much damage, but all else being equal the Mavic is gonna do a lot more harm.
