Practice drones are a waste of money outside of joystick familiarity. Meaning up/down, left/right, orientation, etc. BUT this is all easily learned by going up a safe altitude and practice with Mavic.

Yes I can, I can see it quite well actually. Secondly, sport mode I can hear it. Guess my senses are better than yours? Don't state facts that are opinions. I bet most hear can see their drone at 400ft.

I read one sellers say in smaller print in description "please allow 1-2 cm of variance"! WTF. No way would I mess with that over a a few bucks.

Both mine were very quick. First 10 days, second ordered on a Monday shipped that Thursday. At my door step that following Monday.

This is going South fast...
In OP defense DJI did admit was drone fault not operator according to post #43.
Glad you got your drone back.

And with a remote costing $300, that would put at $1,200. Not counting the charger, etc.
IMO $700-$800 seems more appropriate and palatable.

Agree. And until you put yourself in that situation or happens unexpectedly you can never handle in a calm quick thoughtful manner.

I have been in very strong winds. To the point where sport mode only has me doing 18mph. Mavic is impressive! Sport mode is amazing and will save your a$$ in heavy headwinds.

Generically speaking when is one no longer a drone (quadcopter) rookie/newb?
Disclaimer: generic because you have hours or lots of distance does not mean knowledge.
With the above said what hours or distance flown moves you out of being a newb?
I consider myself still a newb with currently 90...
