    Unboxing Cosmetic Issues – DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Photos Attached)

    Yeah we pretty much have the same read on that and will decide over the next week after a few more test to make sure the drone is working at 100%. My only insight is to see if it was airborne before was the battery cycle and that was showing 0 at the time of unboxing. The lens and unit and rest...

    Unboxing Cosmetic Issues – DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Photos Attached)

    Thanks for clarifying the buy box info on their links. It's strange how I was seeing the other listing and sometimes my sellers. I've gone all the way through on setting up the return with amazon besides the very last step and seems legit like they'll replace and exchange for free just a...

    Unboxing Cosmetic Issues – DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Photos Attached)

    Yeah there was a green tab on the sealed cellophane. The gimbal and lens seem brand new upon inspection and honestly think it may just have been botched packaging by DJI worker..I need to test the drone more but leaning towards an exchange since I’ve never experienced this with a DJI product...

    Unboxing Cosmetic Issues – DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Photos Attached)

    The company you mentioned is not my seller. Instead, it is Smart Fly Gear, which ships through Amazon and offers a 31-day return policy. The seller you mentioned is also listed $5 cheaper on their website, but I am unable to locate their current link although it was there earlier today. Check...

    Unboxing Cosmetic Issues – DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Photos Attached)

    Despite being somewhat detached from the news, I am aware of the outcome of yesterday’s ruling. However, there are numerous uncertainties that remain. My primary concern is whether returning the device to Amazon and acquiring a replacement would result in any complications regarding its...

    Unboxing Cosmetic Issues – DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Photos Attached)

    I just unboxed my Mavic 4 Pro and completed FAA registration last night, cutting it very close to the 23rd deadline. I’ve owned and operated DJI drones continuously since 2014, and this is the first unit I’ve ever unboxed with visible cosmetic defects straight from the factory. Reference photos...

    Iphone 12 Pro Max or Galaxy Note 20 5G Ultra for fly drones

    I was just thinking about how 12 Max Pro will fit within Mavic 2 controls. Currently, use iPhone 10, and makes a snug fit within the controller. Very use to the sticks at this point. Mocked the i12PM size it feels terrible haha. Between the battery life and sensor stabilization, I think my...

    DJI Mavic Air - Mid flight disconnection - RTH landed - What hap...

    I've never experienced a terminal disconnection like this with other DJI drones. They've all regained connection. This required a battery restart after the MA craft landed. Some require just remote/app restart which happened on Phantom of mine and that worked to solve issue mid-flight. There...

    DJI Mavic Air - Mid flight disconnection - RTH landed - What hap...

    That sounds exactly like an image transmission loss. Very different from a disconnected craft and this situation.. Image transmissions issues are very common on the MA depending on the remote frequencies and other factors.

    DJI Mavic Air - Mid flight disconnection - RTH landed - What hap...

    Just assumed all those functions disconnected as well.. Are you saying that's like a backdoor function that somehow reboots the connection? If so have you done that on multiple occasions? lol seems odd but worth a try if it happens. Also, my screen was not grey. All black and It was in camera...

    DJI Mavic Air - Mid flight disconnection - RTH landed - What hap...

    I was capturing a property for my client in an urban part of a Seattle neighborhood today with my newer Mavic Air. I'm well versed in the operations and have owned other DJI drones etc. This particular air is only one week old. I did initially have firmware issues with the RC. It did update to...
