Why no trust in the OEM charger? Blue jobby looks good.

Anybody have any comment / experience on Caribbean islands, especially Air France and Air Antilles? I will be traveling Air France form Paris to Martinique (transfer only), then Air Antilles to Guadeloupe where I will be working. My research in Air France looks like they dont mind. Mavic...

Hey bud. Care to share details about the sticker kit you have there?

Nice. And can the sticks move at all? Or are they rock solid?

Cool, thanks man. I will do so.

Problem is the import duty in South Africa. And also postal theft. But since it's only a few dollars, I might give it a try.

# nagging consumer alert... WTF then does DJI not supply the brace with that stupid $80 bag that comes in the combo deal if it exactly does what they warn about?

Would you mind sending me a picture? Dis your bought version Only clip onto the sticks or does it also strap down around the back of the RC? Then also, if you were to apply lateral force to the brace, does it move at all?

Not so much just touching the bag inside. Think sticks inadvertently getting pushed all the way to the stops as the bag is handled and RC settles. I should have exaggerated the scenario in my first picture. I read somewhere that not protecting the sticks could lead to drift and other similar...

The above quote from a completely different thread, but relevant here... Fine for the MP to take off away from metal, then fly near metal structures (within reason). Totally not fine for the RC to be anywhere near metal at any point while powered up/flying. Correct?

I live in the arse end of Africa and do not have the luxury of Ebay and Amazon delivering my every need. Stuck with the little bag that came with my Mavic, I noticed the RC sticks are getting pushed during transport / storage. So since I cant buy the sticks bracket brace thing (or a pre-cut foam...

The other day I wanted to do a fly-around a ship. Controller warned me about too much magnetic interference. I took off from on-board the vessel and went overboard, but lost my nerve and brought it back, fearing I may lose my MP. Any thoughts on this? I work at sea on various vessels...

Hi guys and girls Checking in from South Africa. I spend a lot of time up in western Africa for work mostly. Will be doing a lot of airtime up there. Just got my Mavic. Previously had a DJI F550. Looking forward to lots of info on this forum. R D
