For local Bay Area California residents hit me up, we got you.

If you already have a Mavic, keep it. If you don't have a Mavic, get the new one. It's such a small upgrade it's silly. Wait for things like upgraded camera, etc. Just my two cents.

Okay friends, the Gimbal Ribbon was definitely the culprit. Kinda a bummer because there was no crash, just rough riding in the protective case with the Gimbal lock in place etc. You would not think that it would be enough to damage a ribbon cable, but it is. If anyone is interested in sending...

After many browsing of threads, it appears that the problem is in fact the ribbon cable on the gimbal. Oh joy. Ordered off Amazon for $20, viewed several replacement videos on YouTube, and repair happens next week so I'll keep you posted.

I just upgraded firmware a few minutes ago, went for a test flight and no issues. I'll keep you posted after flying tomorrow, thx!

No crash, but the gimbal support did fall off at some point in the case, and I was riding an ATV around and I'm sure it got it's fair share of bouncing around. Now, when I turn on the Mavic, it goes through a longer than normal gimbal calibration, and sometimes it just points to the sky and is...

When I first received the goggles a month or so ago I was initially disappointed with the viewing quality. I use 1.25 - 1.50 readers for up close text and such, and the goggles were, for lack of a better description, just yuk. Tried my readers, nope. So, after reading here on the forum about the...

Ordered this guy on July 21st and received today, regular shipping. Everything fits nicely, and at $112 it fit my budget. Amazon.com: Waterproof Handbag Case Protective Case Stronge Hard Bag For DJI Mavic Drone ,Nacome: Sports & Outdoors

UPDATE: (wiping sweat from brow as I type) So I broke out my Samsung Galaxy Tab A running Android Version 6.0.1 to see if it's just IOS devices that are having the problem. Sure enough, was able to connect. So, I figured why not take a little maiden test flight voyage in my front yard. Put it...

This is what I got from DJI - seems they hit auto-reply button #1 and didn't even bother to read my email fully. Thank you for raising your concern here in DJI Support. We are gladly here to assist you with your concern. To try to resolve this issue, kindly follow the steps that we provided...

@DonLandis - I've watched lots of YouTube videos, even the DJI direct that has instructions on connecting via WiFi, and not one of them shows or mentions holding the reset button for 5 sec. Also, that would not explain why I was able to connect and fly before the latest firmware update. I...

I was able to connect via WiFi mode prior to updating to the latest firmware. However, the reason I updated (Goggles being one) is that the behavior the Mavic was displaying was very unstable. The very first attempt, I was able to connect via WiFi, have full video, satellites, etc., and then hit...

Yes, I too heard the "Atti Mode" a couple times during my trial and error efforts. Definitely something wrong with this scenario.

So I've been searching the web and forums and there are a few people with my same problem. A day ago I tried WiFi mode for the first time. I could take off, but it kept going into "Auto-Land" mode. Very frustrating. I was trying to use active track but it would not work at all. So, this morning...

Well, I'm stuck in KamieFornia :/ All we have is the best weed, weather and women on the planet, with those other crazy people they call "progressives". Anywho, if someone has any success for here in the land of government overregulation please chime in - thanks in advance.
