Hey guys, I am currently living in Nepal and a friend of mine back in Germany is buying a new Mavic for me. Are there any common issues to watch out for after buying a new one? I would like him to check the Mavic before he is bringing it since there is no way I could reclaim any factory...

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, I hope this is the right sub. Long story short, I am living in Kathmandu at the moment and decided to buy a Mavic. I cannot buy it here so it has to be send to Nepal. I have two possible ways. A friend of mine could bring it, the thing is that she is flying...

Hey, maybe look at the polar pro katana? It basically coverts your magic to a handheld camera and since it has already a gimbal build in, maybe you could save the money for an additional gimbal :) this said, I used quite a few of the zhiyun gimbals and they all worked really well and were high...
