I just got back from a trip to Bend, OR and took the Mavic along for one of the hikes we did near Sisters, OR. Was able to fly along the river to video some of the waterfalls, which was cool. I've order a set of ND filters because some of the whitewater was overexposed on the bright sunny day...

I live in Lakeland Hills, right above the area....They plan to build warehouses eventually. I went down yesterday around noon and found 3 other flyers down there. Two of the flyers had planes out and the third had a typhoon. However, they all owned quads as well. Cheers!

I live in Lakeland Hills - just a stones throw (or long Mavic flight) away.

Cool. I play golf in Fredrickson a bunch.

A few more flights and I am really liking the Mavic. Found I was able to fly POV easier than line of sight. Only got 500' away and 200' high, but at that distance the Mavic is basically invisible to me. Even when closer I looked up to find it and couldn't find it if it was hovering. LOL Still...

Got my Mavic yesterday and did a couple of quick flights. Sooo many options, but this thing is rock steady compared to my NAZA2 systems - must be the dual GPS? The Mavic was the way to go. Buy once cry once... Look for my other posts and THANKS AGAIN to all of those who helped!

Thanks!

How long is the cable? Looks like about 6" (150mm)? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I cancelled my spark preorder and now will search for a Mavic package. I will probably have more questions once it arrives.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Is the Mavic more able to handle mobile connection issues than the Spark? Thx!

I have a Spark on order, but am second guessing whether or not I just "buy once \ cry once" and upsell myself to a Mavic. I'm looking for feedback from Mavic owners on ease of use and portability, which was why I pre-ordered the spark initially. Is the Mavic easy to transport, launch, and fly...
