    DJI to restrict non-compliant drones at next software update

    i think the tiny spark is gonna change things or at least the way people and officialdom see "drones".. i find it hard to equate danger to anything with a tiny spark size quad.. more so when its fitted with its prop guards as it should be.. i am also inclined to think the mavic was just a...

    nice to see the mavics are now readily available.. i gave up on mine months ago and ordered a P4P + from jessops towards the end of last year.. it arrived in january and has sat in the box until now.. i bought the care refresh package and registered it last weekend.. gave it a test flight a few...

    ether i am or you are.. but by the time Christmas arrives we should know a little better.. the last statement from DJI was we hope to clear orders up to Nov 3rd by Christmas.. UK wise we are up to October 3rd.. that leaves around 13 working days for them to clear a whole months worth of orders...

    OK DJI - You Owe Us!!!

    personally i think the number of multiple orders will be huge.. made even more huge by the no money upfront offers and the ebay flip for profit factors.. but i still dont see a surplus simple because i think the real problem is that dji is unable to meet what could be called the real demand let...

    he he he.. they would not unless they have major problems.. having followed the mavic saga i have reached the conclusion that major production/shipping problems which as yet DJI have not been able to fix is at the heart of the failure to properly deliver the mavic.. gopro hit problems and...

    Mavic Deliveries - UK

    because i am still interested in how the situation pans out.. and think something other than blind optimist might be helpful at least to some.. the bringer of bad news is never liked.. but i can handle and live with that.. he he plus of course i have not as yet received my money back...

    i have said this elsewhere and i know its not what folks want to hear but i seriously believe people with orders much after 4th October are not going to get their mavics.. we are 8 weeks in here and up to October 3rd for reported deliveries.. short of a miracle the back order situation can only...

    OK DJI - You Owe Us!!!

    folks like me have to learn.. sometimes the hard way.. i have no reason to think the pretty well known FPV dealer i ordered from may not have paid DJI and nether have you.. unless you know something i dont.. he he as for the concept of the pre-order.. i cant say as i am in favour of it.. it...

    OK DJI - You Owe Us!!!

    convince me.. i was first promised October 20 to 25.. that rapidly came and went.. then i was promised November.. that not so rapidly came and went.. then it became maybe december but we cannot guarantee that.. i see a pattern developing.. :) they say one definition of insanity is to keep doing...

    "Excluding their obvious problem with meeting the demand for the Mavic" not being able to meet "unexpected" demand for product is one thing.. deliberately launching a product knowing full well that you are not going to be able to supply that product is another thing.. one could be called poor...

    Jessops UK Orders

    i would love to know just how many mavic orders jessops have as yet received and dispatched.. we seem to be up to the 3rd October order time so far plus how many they have on order as yet not received or dispatched.. or orders place after October the 3rd up until now.. playing guessing games...

    How can I fly further than restricted area?

    perhaps all questions should be considered as hyperthetical questions.. my spell checker tries to correct this to hypercritical.. he he maybe it has more sense than i do.. :) trog

    take the jessops delivery if they come up with one.. a mavic in the hand is worth several mavics in the bush.. people need to start taking these future dates for what they really are.. meaningless figures pulled out of thin air because they feel obliged to come up with something.. trog
