    4k computer advice needed

    I elected to buy a 13 inch MacBook Pro (2017 model) with 16GB of ram. Went for the refurb to save some money. I love the computer and it handles 4k editing like a champ. Had to put out $1699 for the setup though. Well worth it.

    Thank you. My build date is October 6, 2017.

    Any improvement on the video quality of Mavic Pro Platinum over the Mavic Pro?

    Got it, good to know. I only shoot in 4k. I have you noticed any difference with that? Edit: I have the mavic pro platinum which I purchased on October 26, and was delivered on November 1 2017.

    Any improvement on the video quality of Mavic Pro Platinum over the Mavic Pro?

    Any way for one to easily find which part number we have? without ripping apart the drone...

    BANG!!! Guess what it is?

    I mean, you do realize the person who posted this on twitter is the most reliable source of DJI leaked info on the internet. Just look at his track record...

    Gimbal vibration warning

    Gained 10 minutes flight time? Unless something was seriously wrong with your other set of props, this is near impossible.

    “Gimbal Vibration Abnormal” - Did We Ever Solve This?

    I researched this extensively in the past as I had gimbal vibration when flying. Cold weather doesn't help and the low noise props can become out of balance easily. Never heard of this while the mavic is on the ground though. The only way to cause gimbal vibration when on the ground would be...

    Taking on airplane during traveling

    Do a search. Plenty on this topic. That said, I travel every other week for work (and once a month for recreation). The ONLY time I was stopped in an airport was last week in Long Beach, CA. TSA asked what was in my bag as they pointed to an object on the x-ray (or whatever you call it). I...

    Out of balance propellers? PP propellers, yes, MP no

    Any updates on this one? my issue has subsided a bit as the temperature as warmed. Though even at 50 degrees F it still does it sometimes (it is minor though compared to when it was below freezing). Also, keep in mind the gimbal only vibrates immediately after takeoff and then subsides after...

    Out of balance propellers? PP propellers, yes, MP no

    Yes, I have this exact issue with my Mavic pro platinum. My solution is to take off and let the bird hover for 15 seconds. The gimbal vibrates, but you can see it calm down after a few seconds. Once this is done, it is fine the rest of the flight. I've tried adding new props (original DJI) and...

    Low noise Props - excessive vibration?

    I'm guessing this has something to do with the heavy weight of the cold air and the new props. Humidity may also be involved. If anyone who has the mavic pro platinum could confirm the issue as well that would be great. Simply take off and let your mavic hover. If you notice the gimbal...

    Low noise Props - excessive vibration?

    YES. I have the MPP and this behavior started a few weeks ago (I had no issues for the first couple months though). My gimbal vibrates excessively up and down for about 20 seconds after take off. I have to let the drone hover in place until it settles down. Once it settles down the gimbal is...

    Cold weather flying

    Yes, thought something was wrong with my props at first, but then determined that they are just more loud in the cold. I have the MP Platinum.

    Camera shake when panning?

    Thankfully the video that my mavic took looks fine. Mount and bands are good. The video I took of the mavic gimbal shaking while panning does not show anything. Probably has to do with my hand not being steady on my iPhone camera while taking the video. Impossible to get this to show on...

    Camera shake when panning?

    There have been threads talking about shake/jello on actual mavic video when panning, but what about the physical gimbal? If you hover your drone directly in front of you, and pan (rotate) the drone 360, does your gimbal physically shake or is it rock solid? Mine tends to shake slightly at...
