    Mavic Mini Drops out of the Sky

    After similar control issues I sent the drone back to DJI, they said it was fine. I posted the flight log on the phantom.help site and kind people here diagnosed the issue. I sent their findings to DJI who replaced the drone. The bottom line is that there are control/propulsion problems and...

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    Thanks Rod, I have not even paired it up yet, maybe tonight. I have lost trust lost on the drone, the affair with it was short, but its over, back to the Mavic Air for me. David

    Thanks again for your help in diagnosing the problem.

    The thing is Rod, they have said virtually nothing. No report, just a drone a a few batteries wrapped in bubble wrap. Just imagine, they understood the problem and gave us some information e.g. " Aircraft may experience control/propulsion issues under certain circumstances" and perhaps a...

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    Have a look on Youtube, a guy called "Ian from London" did a wind test on the M2P (maybe it was a Mavic Pro, can't remember) against the M Air, the Air beat the Mavic Pro. Don't forget you can always use the "Darling I have to trade up because of safety". That's usually a...

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    Flying drones for over 3 years in a lot of places, first one was a Spark, second was a Mavic Air and third was the MM. I have never experienced a control failure before, that is the drone does what it wants to do regardless of input from the control. Mine dropped 30 feet, wind was not a factor...

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    Nope, kept the remote, if I had to guess I would say the MM is a new one, its got all the stickers on it. I also sent in three batteries, I got one returned in a box (as in a new one) and the other two wrapped in bubble wrap. The MM links to the controller which obviously has your phone in it...

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    MM returned to me today, no report, just exactly what I sent to them was sent back. So, I don't know if its a new one or my old one. I now have a MM for sale, I can't trust it. Back to the Mavic Air for me, I use my drone when touring, its been in Canada and across Europe with me. It would be...

    Sudden MM descent into pond...

    This is pretty much a carbon copy of my incident. I sent the drone back to DJI and posted my flight details on this forum. DJI said the drone was OK. Nice guys on this forum said I experienced an uncontrolled decent. DJI are now sending me a new drone under warranty. Since I can't trust the...

    I don't think it was a microburst, the wind was light. The drone fell 27ft. The first 4 feet was without any input from me, after that it was full throttle with no response. Essentially, it was a loss of power. The flight logs have been well examined by wise folk on this site and DJI seem to...

    Downsizing from Mavic 2 Zoom to Mavic Mini?

    Beware................................. I have a Mavic Air and wanted to downsize to the MM. I had control issues with the MM and it had to go back to its maker. Still waiting on a replacement. You gotta look at what you will be doing with it, the MM does not like a lot of wind. I travel a...

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    DJI have taken the view its a warranty issue. They are not conceding there is an issue with the drone, but it looks like they are replacing it. As I have said several times, for me, we must have control of the aircraft when we are using it, if not, we are flying in an irresponsible way and we...

    I have one for sale, one careful owner from new, only 20 minutes flight time. Certified as a good drone by DJI......................................... Oops forgot to say, it has a mind of its own.

    Divorce is inevitable, MM and me

    The divorce is probably going to happen, DJI have not given me a choice, they say the drone is OK and want to return it to me. I would have been happier if they had found a fault and either repaired it or replaced it. To send it back to me, having had the experience I have had with it simply...
