    Concerns over firmware

    You make some good points in terms of trying to enjoy etc and I will take that on board. I also thank you for your slant on data security. If it means that, then thats much more acceptable, but that wouldn't need a f/w update as it's collected and sent by the phone isnt it? I've not done this...

    Concerns over firmware

    Yeh I might just do that. It galls me that mine in pristine condition could be swapped for a refurb when I only recently paid £800 for it. Not on really. I wish the firmware was open source and then we'd know where the problem was. I'm mindful to ask for a new replacement and see what their...

    Mavic Air: Would you buy it again?

    At this point I wouldn't buy the 1st. I am new and though I've had the drone a week, I've not flown it. Why?? I took all the good advice about watching youtube videos. Upgrading of firmware was pretty horrible. Then, it wanted me to calibrate the compass. I'd had it suggested the IMU was...
