Your mavic kit

[Viciam]

Lets see it.

Heres mine:

to prolong the life of my mavic, i try to minimize the number of times I have to touch the gimbal or closing/extending the arm. After each flight I will remove the battery and sd card so I dont have to open up the mavic when I get home. Thats one less time I have to remove gimbal clamp or extend arms(so transfer files u have to open arms to remove sd or remove gimbal clamp if connecting cable to mavic). Also the battery is already removed so I dont have to extend arms again at home for charging. Once files transfersd from sd card and batteries charged, I simply put them in the carry case until my next flight and I insert both just before flight when i am at the place of flight. So the key is, minimize the amount of times u touch the gimbal for clamp removal and minimize the times u extend the arms as much as possible. Long live ur mavic

I'm thinking about getting one form them as well. Any effects on performance such as GPS signal or controller signal issues?

None every thing works like a dream

 

[Viciam]

Great, I'll be placing my order soon I guess. I just noticed, your drone is the same colour as my rug

Here's my kit. Everything fits neatly inside and can be carried on a plane as your personal item.

That's awesome KaiserVon. You even got the powerextra charger to fit in your case! That's rather cool. Which case is this?

Thanks man! It's a CaseMatix Dronesafe case from Amazon. Only $40 but the foam inside needs some serious airing out before use. Great case for the money.

Nice case! View media item 924

 

[Viciam]

Yes indeed

I see you prefer to put your mavic in side ways!

I only do this when I have the getterback attached, which lately has been a lot! Have been doing a lot of flying over water.

I was wondering what that yellow thing was! Had to look it up. That's a great idea just in case the Mavic decides to go for a swim.

I got a similar bag as the OP, but usually just use the foam insert. I either put it in my DSLR backpack or in my motorcycle tankbag. Convenient size and sturdy protection for the Mavic.

That's cool.

I like this. I usually pull the card out when I get home which means unfolding the arms unnecessarily. I'm going to do this from now on. Great tip!

 

[Viciam]

Yes, DJI says mavic arms can extend/close 5000 times. Even though that's alot, why not extend the time to reach that 5000 by removing the unnecessary times you open the arms. Glad the tip helps
