    8 Questions for Mavic owners

    Correct. It moves behind to avoid collision as i walk towards it. Hand landing is also somewhat similar. It detects your hand as an object so tries to raise elevation until u hold the stick down to switch off the motors.

    8 Questions for Mavic owners

    I have tested this a few times and it does back away if I walk towards it. It also wont move any further if I am standing straight ahead in its path. This is using default settings.

    New Leaf protection plan through Adorama

    So I guess the CS was not sure of the process since I was asked to cancel my order, buy VIP360 and then place a new order to ensure coverage. I had already pre-ordered, and was not charged since the order was pending.

    How to download videos from the Mavic?

    Hello All, I flew the mavic for the first time today and for some reason, I am not able to download the videos from the Mavic into my Iphone or Macbook Pro. The videos are 4k, so they cannot be imported directly into the iphone using the DJI Go App. So I connected the drone to my Macbook Pro...

    you seem to have enough time to write posts but you are on the defensive when asked to show emails. It seems suspicious indeed. Or you are having trouble understanding and comprehending what is being asked from you since english does not seem to be your first language of choice. If you cant...
