    Anyone order Mavic from B&H?

    I did. Combo pack and drone only. Also ordered a drone only from Best Buy earlier tonight. I'll be cancelling the two that lag behind.

    Not sure how much you read, but I'm pretty sure you're just going to want to sit back and relax.

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    I'm wondering if those that are participating in the software beta test will be getting theirs first. Purely curiosity, not fact.

    SANDISK 40% off @ Amazon

    TU Dang. Picking up a couple. Good lookin out! Edit: looks like only 20% on some of them. Still a good snag.

    Small Airport/Heliport Notification

    I have not flown before (Mavic coming at some point), so I'm a bit unfamiliar with notification procedures. For small airport or heliport notifications, does a phone call suffice? Now, I am trying to get it in writing through an email so I have it in my hand in case anything happens, but is that...

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    All the questions are the same, why wouldn't the answers be? I honestly don't understand how you would not think they would have a standard reply at this point. They've had more shipping status inquiries than orders. Now, I do think they should be telling us more than they are, but I'm surprised...

    What extras to buy?

    It holds 4 batteries, but actually charges them one at a time, starting with the most charged. It's somewhere in the manual. Not sure if that's what you meant, just wanted to clarify for OP.

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    Follow-up to my last, just had a chat: Jacob Le: Hello Gilbert, my name is Jacob Le and I'm looking forward to helping you today! Me: Hi Jacob. So I'm wondering if you guys have heard when they're shipping to you from the manufacturer, where I am in line versus how many orders you have, and/or...

    Structural integrity while landing

    Yeah, I would think that they're pretty sturdy. This is also a bit lighter than the Phantom, so that's good news too. The smaller nature of it will also force you to land on hard ground more often though. If you don't bring along some sort of landing pad, but that kinda defeats the portability...
