I first received my Mavic in December, and crashed it soon after indoors trying to fly over a railing, which made OA fly it up in to the ceiling. I got my Refresh, and since then have had nothing but trouble.
The drone they sent me as a Refresh had a jello issue. Not constant, but enough to be frustrating:
They said to send it back, so I did. Weeks later I received a drone that was packed with the gimbal clamp attached incorrectly:
And though some flights seemed ok, one of the 4 test flights I did looked like this:
So they sent me another one... surprise surprise it was packed like this:
The manager at the Carson facility says they're going to immediately make changes to the way the drones are packed there.
This one has a bit of soft focus on the right side of the frame (or if I tap to focus on that side the left side is out of focus), along with this video glitch that looks more digital than the jello I had in the first drone:
That video has been slowed down by 50% because the glitches happen so fast.
And now today for the first time, a sudden switch to ATTI mode and toilet bowl effect:
GPS signal AND health was full until the sudden drop to 1 bar of GPS health and TBE.
I landed and restarted the drone, and the gimbal made clicking noises during initialization. The image was sideways, and rotating the gimbal wheel on the remote did this:
So I'll be exchanging this one again. What a hassle.. this is really taking the joy out of the whole thing.
