Was it just the Mavic and controller?
Did you get the 'Fly More' packaged deal?
What do you suggest for first time buyers?

Only buy the package if you can use everything it includes. Otherwise, it'll be cheaper to buy only the accessories you need separately.What do you suggest for first time buyers?
Just got the Mav + controller, then added a battery, the non-DJI car charger (works brilliantly), an extra set of props, some ND filters, landing gear extensions, a half backpack and the DJI sun hood for the controller.

Do the landing gear extensions help with hand launching/catching?
I actually think the landing gear a bit of a waste if you ask me.
U would always have to remove it to put it in the bag.
They are good for adding ground clearance, but would get in the way with hand catching.Do the landing gear extensions help with hand launching/catching? I'm curious if people find the hand catching/launching a bit more difficult compared to the phantoms.
They take a few seconds to apply and remove - not a time-killer at all. When the Mavic is on grass, sand, dirt...etc., they give a little extra ground clearance for the camera and gimbal. I also use a landing pad to help keep the lens clear of take-off debris.I don't find the hand launch or land difficult at all. I actually think the landing gear a bit of a waste if you ask me.

What brand of third party batteries?Bought it at first (at a reduced amount) but when that deal fell through, I bought it without. I've always much preferred the after market 3 battery charge so I'd not use the hub. The bag is simply way over priced and many reviewers did not like it. I bought a sling backpack from Ultimaxx for around $20 and it's great. The car charger seemed semi-interesting but I seldom need to charge in the car with extra batteries. Instead I took that extra money and bought 2 extra batteries. Much better deal to me. I then dropped about $45 on the charger and $20 on the sling back pack.
3rd party battery charger, not batteries.What brand of third party batteries?
This one: Amazon.com: Intelligent Battery Charger Car Charger 6A Output for DJI MAVIC PRO: Camera & PhotoWhich non-DJI car charger are you using?
I've plenty of camera bags that are suitable for the Mavic and that seemed to make up a large chunk of the price, as mentioned above it's only worth it if you're going to be using all the items.
