    Got hit by my Mavic blades

    Thanks for posting this - was wondering if the folding props were safer than the solid props on some other birds. I won't post pics (don't want to relive it), but I mistakenly tried to pick up my QAV-250 with solid carbon fiber props, accidentally hit the throttle when I bent over, and nearly...

    $40 pelican-ish case

    Don't have it yet (just placed the order yesterday). I'm using an old camera bag for the time being, which works well enough. I figure the hard case will suffice for storage and transporting in the trunk without worry of damage, and give me the benefit of organization for all the gear to boot...

    $40 pelican-ish case

    Saw this one too and it looks decent for the price, but went another direction. My biggest concerns were: It's only 4" thick, which doesn't leave a lot of space for foam above/below the Mavic for impact protection No mention of water resistance In the end, I wound up ordering the PolarPro...

    Newegg Mavic Pro in stock

    Ordered one on 11/14 on a whim and it's arriving tomorrow. I actually tried to cancel but Newegg said DJI had to do it and DJI never responded so this kinda fell off my radar. My wife is going to kill me when she signs for another drone package... This will be my third Mavic Pro order...

    Lets hear from everyone who hasn't has promblems with there Mavic

    I'm about one month in with my Mavic Pro, with just 16 flights adding up to only about 3 hours of flight time. I've eaten a couple props due to pilot error and hitting some branches, but have had zero issues with the MP itself and am flying it every chance I get. This is my first semi-serious...

    FYI, the waterproof hard shell case is also now in stock (ships from CN website). I ordered one today and will share impressions once it arrives (I expect it'll be a week or two).

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    FYI - Apple must have received a ton of Mavic Pros over the weekend. My 10/17 backup order just shipped today, along with what I assume are a ton of other orders up to that point.

    well my mavic props just shipped from Apple LOL

    Same here too. Nice of them to send the props by FedEx 2 Day service, I guess... As an optimist, I take this and the fact that Apple shipped drones for the first time today (to HK & Singapore) as a good sign.

    When will apple start shipping?

    FYI - Some reports this morning on the DJI forums stating that Apple has started shipping orders in HK and Singapore. Hopefully this is a good sign for all Apple orders! My Apple order is finally "Preparing for Shipment" (Update: Shipped)

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    It's not just you - I'm a DJI direct order of the non-combo on 9/28 and have been watching to see if any other non-combo orders from DJI have shipped. Haven't seen any since that initial batch last week.

    Ipad Mini--without an adapter

    Thanks for sharing - was going to order one of the custom adaptors for my mini, but I think I'll wait and try this approach first! Question for the experts here though - if my iPad mini is wifi-only, are there certain features I'd miss out on? I can tether it to my phone for internet, but are...

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    Yes, two. One for myself to start using right away, another for my 18 y/o son for christmas. I'll keep whichever comes in first and just stash the other one, so it's also a hedge against direct pre-order delays being slower than Apple.
