    New Mavic 4 Pro – gimbal “ticks” and framing jumps when I walk with it in my hand. Is this normal?

    This slow to immediate gimbal re-recentering would explain why we see and hear that gimbal twitching. Do I, as a consumer, like it? Not so sure about it. Thanks for sharing though! At least we have an official explanation

    Mavic 4 Pro - 4G Dongle with RC2

    I absolutely love your story! I come from a very similar background! I bought this cheap Chinese drone (I know, I know DJI is Chinese as well :D) Vivitar Skyflow for $80 or something, but I had a horrible experience with it. Just two days in, I lost control of it and it fell into my backyard...

    I'm in USA.What's my best/most reliable option to buy a Mavic 4 Pro?Any idea what customs+import fees cost?What Korean dealers can you recommend?

    I was initially concerned myself, if this is not a scamming attempt going on here, but It was an official letter from Fedex, and what they do, to ensure your shipment clears customs as quickly as possible and avoid delays, they typically pay those duties and taxes to the customs authorities on...

    Not sure what you meant by that "twice now"... perhaps you are mixing my above post with someone else's, similar claim? I just received this one letter from Fedex, last Friday, it was a physical letter in my mailbox. I wasn't home the entire weekend, just opened it today, and paid it off right...

    Hand launch with RC Pro 2

    As I stated above, it comes with risks and would hate to see anyone else to get hurt, hence I posted a disclaimer to do this absolutely at your own risk. I've been hand launching/landing my M4P ever since, as I mentioned above, I found this auto-launch (utilizing this C1 button) much more...

    So, to my big surprise, I just received a bill from Fedex for $12 for the RC Pro 2 controller that I bought off eBay, from Korea, few weeks ago (see below). I was surprised, as seller stated tariff prices are included, but since it is just $12, I just paid it off! If you look above, it looks...

    New firmware

    Can't wait for that one! I am still on .0200 myself, due to this very same gimbal ticking

    Screen diagram for RC pro 2

    That symbol you see right next to RC signal strength is your omnidirectional obstacle avoidance indicator, with red meaning given fisheye camera (front, top, bottom, back, left and right) is unavailable and with your picture above meaning none of them are. This is completely normal if your drone...

    When I purchased my first M4P from SK, it arrived faulty, had to open a case with DJI, they handled my case without any issue, sent a replacement, literally same day, only thing I have to mention, I had to send my drone back to SK, they would not accept it here in US, or Canada. Seller with_us...

    Hand launch with RC Pro 2

    :D - this is too funny! Actually, I have these in my house, since my wife works with animal rescue services: and to be honest with you all, this did cross my mind when I decided to launch and then land my A3S on my hand, back in the days!

    Both of above mentioned sellers I used shipped with FedEx, package was here in 3 days, no hurdles whatsoever. But maybe I just got lucky, so don’t take it for granted

    I bought all my drones from with_us, but he started charging $200 for shipping (assuming to offset tariff cost) also I purchased my RC Pro 2 from highendhaveen, they charged $49 for expedited shipping (it was here, in Dallas, from Korea in 3 days), can't speak much about others

    This screams scam and big time! This should be reported, so no one falls victim to it

    Hand launch with RC Pro 2

    I am very sorry you got hurt! I really am! :( Did it happen recently? Perhaps you wanted to try what you seen on my video I posted above? I will definitely post a disclaimer in bold letters that while it works well for me there is a risk of getting hurt and pretty badly. I have been using hand...

    Hand launch with RC Pro 2

    Here's a short video of me taking my M4P off my hand, utilizing that C1 button (excuse that background :P): https://streamable.com/4eulhv WARNING: WHILE I DEMONSTRATED DOING THIS FINE, THERE IS AN INHERENT RISK OF BEING HURT, DO THIS ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IN ABSOLUTELY NO-WIND CONDITION
