Over dramatic. Yes. Although 90 minutes with their tech support was absolutely useless (they sent me a shipping label), I hung up and finally got it to update to.1000 with Assistant 2 after my 6th try. As for the subject of my post, the top thread was "has anyone tried the .1000 upgrade...

Over dramatic? I'd planned on leaving on vacation with my perfectly good $1200 flying camera. I attempted an update like I've done dozens of times before (because I always do this when they send one) and their process turned it into a brick. When I attempted to reload a previous firmware, there...

Here's another success story...albeit not as successful as the OP. Flying in Sport mode (not always smart) low over the salt water at nearly 40mph. Wanted to swoop up at the end of my 100 yard run like I've done hundreds of times before. In a moment of distraction, not concentrating, etc, I...

No confusion rydfree. Just drone incompetence. But, if you want to understand my reaction, sit in the Captain's seat of any real (not RC) fixed wing aircraft, and pull back on the control that you are holding in your left hand. If it doesn't climb immediately... well, you get the idea...

Lol. I've got 38 years flying jet airplanes, and only 2 months flying the Mavic. Apples and Oranges.

Thanks All. The Getterback is on order. As to the suggestions to change the stick modes, I'll stay with the standard stick modes, but won't be an idiot next time. Will be VERY careful when I engage sport mode (and then, only at high altitude). The return instructions say to include the...

You guys probably just saved me $800-$1000. For some reason I thought it didn't cover water damage. Wow, I really appreciate that! Now my wife isn't so mad! Best!

My completely trouble free Mavic died yesterday with a terrible mistake by its pilot. I was flying it in sport mode over a small salt water turning basin in Florida from my dock. It was only 15 feet above the water (like I've done hundreds of times) going near 40mph. I tried to climb, but made...

Actually Bill, I love this thing. Its the most amazing piece of technology I've ever had. (and I fly Boeing 777s for a living). The speed issue mysteriously disappeared, and I've had no problems with anything ever since.

I'm encountering the exact same symptoms. GPS - P mode is only 9-10mph. Beginner mode off, latest firmware, no wind, all vision sensors on. Someone replied that DJI is aware of this issue. Has anyone heard when they will fix it? By the way, Sport mode works fine at over 40mph.
