    Pre-Order & Shipping Thread

    My wife ordered mine from Amazon last night 10/10 on pre-order. We just returned my MP two weeks ago because of a defect, but I loved it and can't wait to fly again!

    Does the reseller drop-ship from DJI, or do they warehouse it first?

    DJI announcement Oct 11- new Mavic?

    I think DJI created the video to crowdsource free ideas for what they should make next. I want a Mavic Rhodium Elite!

    Only 8 flights, left rear leg stop is cracking with unstable flight

    Okay, I may be quite buzzed from my nightcap, but I cannot understand that guy!

    Got it from Amazon from a seemingly reputable dealer and ranked very high. I checked the S/N and it has a build date in June '17 and purchased September 1st. I noticed my FlyMore kit wasn't like any of the unboxings I've seen and was all put into the Mavic bag, it didn't come in multiple boxes...

    This must be a design flaw, and a really critical one! I bought Refresh so I guess I should send it in for the 1st time. I was really looking forward to flying a lot more before sending it in for Refresh. [emoji174] I do live in a very windy location and I've practiced a lot of RTH landings to...

    3rd day of ownership, broke my gimble

    Thanks. I suspect though that if I must send it in for Refresh, it'll be FUBAR anyway and those indicators will be gone. ;)

    3rd day of ownership, broke my gimble

    It just occurred to me. I probably should've just used the USB to MP battery adapter and charged my tablet from the battery! Sonofa... o_O

    That sounds familiar. I too would like some clarity on this. I know the intelligent batteries will mostly self-manage, but I'd like to squeeze as much life as possible from my sub-$90 volts of joy.

    Whic Which sockets? I'm curious if it was different than mine. Mine were like a hard plastic from hot glue-gun Thanks!

    I disagree, the worst thing you can do is light it on fire! :D However I was running it down because I knew I wouldn't use it for a month, the battery was at 80% still and it was too late to fly. I've run electric RC cars since the '80s to current, I wasn't trying to deplete it "all the way...
