Hello,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Mavic Pilots forum.
I hope that you will be able to use the forum to further your safety knowledge and for the exchange of innovative ideas and as a resource for
current developments in Mavic quadcopter’s. Read the manual a few times and watch lots of Youtube videos on the subject to give yourself a good start.
Enjoy!

Loving it, however I have had a small hick-up with the camera, is does not work properly, so it has to go back. Hope I am not without it for too long. It flies absolutely beautifully.

Greeting chaps

Word of caution watch the SA birds (feathered variety) they are pretty aggressive re Mavic ( well maybe non feathered could also be depending). Mavic can take a hit or 2 and are pretty tough.

Had two separate incidents. First with kite and had to run like crazy (eventually put down hard in bush to get away)

Second with Egyptian Geese

Mavic recovered on two hits (Spun and levelled off).

Climbed to avoid and though it was over

Mavic only went down on third attack when prop was dislodged.

Using the controller to locate drone worked pretty well as it was about 300 meters in thick bush

If you can see drone clearly and attacked climb if possible very quickly birds cannot climb as fast and switch to sport and get clear.

I have now put prop guards on when flying low in the bush so if it happens again props wont be dislodged.

Also have drilled extra holes in gimble bubble for additional cooling at the back and have that on, as gimble is very delicate and bracket was bent in one incident. Straightened and now OK

Happy flying
