If good manners fail, threaten to go to the Better Business Bureau. Very effective as they have quite a bit of influence with exporters (I assume you are in the US)

Non importa che modello di smartphone tu abbia, è Android il problema! L'app DJI gira male su Android, mi spiace dirtelo ma è un fatto risaputo e con un po' di ricerca pre-acquisto lo avresti scoperto. Comprati un iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi 16GB di seconda mano. Li trovi a poco ~200€ e sono perfetti per...

I did the same for my 41st birthday last June. Best present ever!! My wife saw me so happy that she decided to contribute some funds to the "investment" after I had bought it... win win win!

+1 for the iPad Mini 4. I bought a 16GB Wifi only 2nd hand on eBay and it does a great job. In Europe these are quite a bit more expensive than in the US as you can't find these cheap refurb alternatives. Keep in mind that Apple is only producing the 128GB model as of March 2017 so you're going...

Thanks for suggestions. I'll try contacting DJI first to see what they say then I'll decide. Getting the Mavic opened up by an approved repair shop wouldnt void warranty right?

Hi TD, thanks for your reply. I did pay for it with Paypal. Not sure if that gives me any extra guarantees though... am I wrong? I havent flown it since my first day... not so much for the noise but because of weather/work impediments. Was going to fly it this weekend... as you said the option...

I'd keep the perspective as if a person is walking around checking the integrity of the car's body... that sort of distance. You've got a few shots like that in the middle of the clip, including the aforementioned slo-mo pan. The initial and final shots from further away add little value for...

Hi All, first post in the "Help" section for me... maybe the 1st of many as I've just started flying (link to my 1st video clip at the bottom). So I received my new Mavic from DJI 3 weeks ago. I did my first flights, about 1hr in total with no problems at all except small issues caused by my...

First experience on my Mavic. Tried Beginner Mode for 15 minutes but that was kinda boring. So flew 1.2km away following the dirt road to my house and back. Nerve wreaking experience... my iPhone died at the furthest point and it was 3-4 minutes of suspense before I heard the neighbor's dogs...

My brother bought a Phantom 3... never let me fly it. I just bought a Mavic... will never let him fly it. (We're both above 40 y.o. in case you were wondering). Friends can watch me fly it. That's about it

I think it's a general recommendation in case you have an iPhone or a 3G/4G iPad so that you dont receive calls, texts and other pop up notification while you are flying. In the link I sent if I recall correctly it states that you should activate flight mode but then turn wifi back on (for the...

Here's a few people talking about caching maps (it's for the Phantom but should be the same for Mavic) HOW TO: Optimize Apple device for the best DJI GO app performance

I have never done it myself (I'm on my 3rd flight with my Mavic and use an iPhone for the moment). There are a couple of threads in this forum discussing phone/tablet models/setting/supports and I read a few posts of ppl doing this with a Wifi-only Ipad. I think it's an option in the DJI app but...

iPad Mini 2 and 3 have identical internal specs but the 3 has a few "cosmetic" upgrades. I'm considering the Mini 4 because of the faster processor and anti-glare coating for the screen. There is quite a consensus that the Mini 4 is the best bang for your buck. You can buy Wifi only and cache...

Hola Juanma, there are some really beautiful places in your area (Cabo de Gata for example). I have a holiday home north of where you live (Costa Blanca 100km north of Alicante). I plan a trip around your area in August... send some videos when you start flying! Buenos vuelos!
