In October, I flew from LA to London, then Paris to LA, with my Mavic in my carry on. I had 2 batteries. One in the drone, the spare in a LiPo bag. (I had it, so I used it). I never even got pulled aside for a closer examination (which surprised me). Other's may have mentioned this (I...

I appreciate the info. I will reach out to them, and give them a chance before I throw in the towel.

I bought a set of them, and will be trying to return them. I put them on my Mavic Pro, and from the get-go I was concerned. When I first started the Mavic, once the motors settled down from the startup, I could hear a pulsing in the sound. When I switched back to my stock props: nice and...

I have 2 batteries, with 58 flights total on my Mavic. (Admittedly, that nothing compared to many of you). One of those batteries is a PowerExtra, and I can confidently say that half of those flights were with that battery (I alternate batteries each flight). I bought it for $60 on Amazon. I...

Hi all! Brand new Mavic Pro owner here (It arrived Monday). This is my first DJI quad. My previous experience has been with a Cheerson CX-20 (ArduPilot based) which I added a 2 axis gimbal with a GoPro wannabe hooked up to a video transmitter with an monitor and receiver mounted to the...
