    Mode combinations?

    Litchi has the second feature you asked about. It's a pretty great program, I don't know if they fully support the Mavic yet but I'm sure they will soon. I like to use the waypoint filght plan to refly the same path around a construction site once a week and then put it together into a kind of...

    Wifi Range

    Wow that looks really impressive, I can't wait to try it out! I'm surprised by how little this feature is mentioned on this forum, it's a huge selling point for me since I plan on taking my Mavic backpacking and being able to drop the controller makes the drone so light!

    Why does the Mavic appeal to you?

    This is exactly my outlook! It's so exciting to have these technologies available to us, people have been dreaming about them for so long, whats another month? :) Also, there aren't that many things in my life that have me crazy like a kid before christmas anymore, the waiting is kinda fun.

    Wifi Range

    Yeah I saw the published specs, I just wanted to hear if anyone had test the range in the real world and what results they got, and generally how well it works in wifi mode.

    Wifi Range

    I've seen a lot of posts about the range with the controller but has anyone tested the claimed range with a phone and wifi? Has anyone done any extensive flying with their phone? Is it smooth and intuitive? I don't have my unit yet so I haven't had a chance to test any of this out but I can...

    Prop balancing on the folding propellers

    Will this still be possible? I can't think of how you could effectively balance them if they aren't perfectly inline with eachother.

    Suggestion for alternative bag

    Yeah but for me the whole point of the Mavic is its small form factor, I want it to be protected but I also want to be able to through it in my day pack and go for a hike. Having a camera butt pack or backpack leaves you with the same issue as a Phantom practically because it's just one more...

    Suggestion for alternative bag

    I was looking at different telephoto lens bags on amazon that would fit the Mavic and this is what I decided on getting, it looks like they just sold out but you can pick it up for a similar price at other stores if you search google. Based on their listed internal dimensions it should be able...

    Structural integrity while landing

    One thing I'm worried about is the fact that the Mavic landing force is absorbed through the actual propulsion arms, as opposed to the Phantom that has a dedicated landing gear to absorb the shock. I really hope they over engineered the crap out of those joints, because they are going to take a...

    Hello from Seattle!

    I have a phantom 3 advanced. There is a ban on flying in Seattle City parks and I have always felt morally wrong about flying over peoples houses so I tend to only use it outside the city. But I have definitely flown it around some of the downtown landmarks (Waterfront, space needle) and I have...
