    Received replacement Mavic 2, Gimbal feels very off first flight

    Just spoke with DJI and they have created a case for me and even sent them the video to confirm. I'm just more worried that they will try to charge me another repair fee. I mentioned that I want them to know if this can fall under some warranty claim because the drone appears to be defective

    Received replacement Mavic 2, Gimbal feels very off first flight

    Hello everyone. I've just received my care refresh Mavic 2 pro replacement today. I've been without it for about a week and a half and was excited to fly it today. Only for my keen eyes to sense, something was wrong with the way the gimbal operated entirely. During the first flight, I panned the...

    Mavic 2 pro crash doing first commercial work

    Ahh sorry I did word it wrong I did mean that I ran it into a tree. I'm surprised no one else caught that. I was actually under the tree it collided with and yea it was 100% pilot error as I did know what the area of the drone was, but I still managed to hit it into a branch means I didn't know...

    Mavic 2 pro crash doing first commercial work

    Yeah like mentioned had I not have the 2 extra propellors DJI gives us, I would've had to cancel the job right then and there. The reason I don't carry a backup drone is because I hadn't really thought of it plus the money for a new one. I don't get these gigs frequently so i can get away with...

    Mavic 2 pro crash doing first commercial work

    DJI care as in the basic care you get? Because sadly my DJI care refresh ended yesterday... I did make a repair ticket and added the drones serial number and it said my service plan status was unavailable meaning it ended.

    Mavic 2 pro crash doing first commercial work

    Had my Mavic 2 pro since 2019 and have never replaced a propeller or ever crashed it. Today as I'm doing my first gig it ran into a a branch of a tree top and did multiple flips coming down the sidewalk. Still tried to fly although the front two arms were folded inwards. Replaced the 2 right...

    First Drone Purchase - Opinions please?

    A Mavic Mini 2 seems like a very good choice for a beginner drone! If you don't mind me asking, what do you want to use the drone for? Commercial use? Hobby or for an online photography social media? I gotta ask as its interesting seeing new drone pilots out there. Although before you purchase...

    free fall while taking pictures of comet Neowise

    Yeah, I do trust the drone to be stable at 400 ft but it's not worth it since at times I get high wind velocity warnings at that altitude. The view is pretty beautiful up there but past 400 ft? No thanks I value the money that's in the air right now. 5000 ft practically being 1 mile up in the...

    free fall while taking pictures of comet Neowise

    But still, why risk your $1000+ drone? I've thought of the exact scenario before but I see no reason to risk not only crashing the drone but their lives or other people's lives for doing a maneuver that can go seriously wrong in any given moment. Well, I hope it wasn't all for nothing.

    Mavic 2 owners, anyone have problems with RC power button?

    I'll have to see for a solution, if not I'll just deal with it as it doesn't pose a huge problem to me flying! ;)

    Mavic 2 owners, anyone have problems with RC power button?

    I'm almost coming up to a year when I first bought my Mavic 2 Pro back in October. Its been going on for about 2 months now but the controller's power button seems to need more pressure in order to activate. Before, I can lightly press the power button like nothing and have it respond. Now I...

    mavic 2 pro crash today

    Without knowing any further information we don't know for sure what the cause was. Feels more of a compass error but we'll have to see when he posts the flight log that's needed

    mavic 2 pro crash today

    Well, I hope you are able to find the day of the incident's flight log. The day before will do no benefit for trying to help find what caused your Mavic to crash. If you used an android device like a phone or a tablet to use with your drone, you can access your DJI flight records from the files...
