I've had three different Mavics. The first Mavic had the Jello brand gimbal installed and DJI took it back and sent a new one. That one had the same problem you described. I ended up contacting a tree branch during one episode and crashing it. DJI said it was my fault and I ended up replacing it...

Well replacement number 2 is on it's way. Maybe this is the one...

Well my "fuss" is the sad fact that having owned a $1300 drone since February it's been physically able to fly and take usable video for a total of two days and has been on a UPS truck or repair facility longer than it's been in my possession. I just want to be one of these happy Mavic owners...

No I don't think it's a majority but the percentage is VERY high. Google it or search YouTube for Mavic gimbal jitter, jello, or wavey video and you get a lot of results. That's a specific and recurring issue with just Mavics. It doesn't have to reach a majority to result in a recall. Karma's...

All of the issues with my Mavic have not been pilot error, especially since it arrived to me that way. The gimbal issues that are everywhere on these forums are real and will be a black eye for the Mavic. (Horizon tilt, jello, half focus) If not the subject of a complete recall. And that's just...

So Mavic comes back with no connection to the remote. It turns out they replaced the craft. No instructions in the box indicating I needed to re-bind the two together. I found that on line and in the manual. The rep on DJI.com chat had no idea what was wrong and asked to me to send back...

That's what the Mavic 1 will be called now. I'm still waiting for mine too get back from DJI. Gotta love marketing, I've had a Mavic since February, get two flights out of it and back it goes for warranty work. It'll be an obsolete has been by the time I get three flights on it.

Mavic 2 or Mavic Pro Advanced with 360 obstacle avoidance as well as the 1" sensor camera. ....it will also include all of the bugs the original Mavic has from being rushed to market to fast.

I got my Mavic in Feb thinking this would be the DJI product that would convince me, a hobbiest, to go "consumer drone" or at least respect DJI.... Nope. Tried to fly it a dozen times in varying temps (late winter in Western New York) only to have jello every time. Finally saw temps over 50-60...

Is it possible the Phantom 4 Pro camera sensor (1"), or perhaps a version of it, could be retrofitted into the Mavic camera? Seems like this would make the Mavic the ultimate camera drone, aside from an Inspire. No one expects Inspire performance in a small drone anyway. I know doing this would...
