    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    I bought it separately the day of activation. I had to enter my serial number to purchase during the checkout process. I assume if you ordered yours in advance there would be some sort of eDelivery process, but I am not sure.

    Yeah, I was surprised that it fell 15' onto hard concrete and still works with only really surface and prop damage. I would have thought for sure the camera / gimbal would have failed to initialize; especially as I didn't have the protective cover on it.

    So is it bad that I may or may not have crashed it twice today, the second time on my flight directly after the previous crash. I was demonstrating the returning to home feature to a friend, but the GPS was way off and it was getting very close to my literal home. I took over manual control to...

    I can confirm the sport mode breaking is not as fast as the Phantom 4. I may or may not have clipped a tree while hard breaking about 10' off the ground and crash landed in tall grass / soft ground. All 4 props needed replacing, and a few surface marks, but it still works. What really sucks is...

    So I was just about to go out to my truck, so I could charge two batteries at once (using the car charger for the other); when I remembered I already have "car charger" in my office.... So happy right now :)

    Ummm... So this happened! And the joke being the bag is the hold up, might not be far off as the box doesn't look finished. That said, the bag is pretty nice; id'e pay about $30 for it in a store. I was upset on Tuesday that I bought the combo; but today I am happy. Well worth another 3 days of...

    Well, that is a completely different question. Amazon will most likely have multiple sources for the product, but that is internal confidential information that they will not release (unless of course they are found to be selling fraudulent parts, like the recent Apple cell phone charger...

    As a web developer, I'm often awe struck by how different people interact with websites differently. Part of this thread show how people really don't know the difference between Amazon, New Egg, Walmart selling products; and third parties using their website to sell products. This is a prime...

    I was actually thinking it would be fun to write a quick screen scraper script that searches FedEx for every zip code in the USA and see how many show up... But after seeing that my own recent shipment isn't showing up yet, not sure how much that would tell us.

    You mis-interpreted it my response.... Just because something is simple doesn't mean it's not valuable or appreciated. Sometimes the simplest of things are the best. I was just trying to tell you that you are not going to gain anything by having my tracking number; and I would prefer not to post...

    What you created is ridiculously simple, you are literally just constructing the most basic of requests (Get) and I've noticed in my tests that it completely ignores the ship date field, so you could remove that from your tool if you wanted. My shipping reference (the only thing you are...

    For all those with Monday Oct. 31st delivery to the USA, I think many of you might get lucky and see "early" delivery happening on Friday instead. The flight is slightly ahead of schedule compared to the one that left on Monday for the standard orders that many received a day early (Tuesday). So...

    After a prior false alarm; I can finally confirm my "Fly More" has shipped (Sold by DJI via Amazon to USA - Ordered early on the 27th). It's important to note that the FedEx postal code utility did not work for this order, nor did the delivery manager for this package. I just noticed an...

    Sorry, this question was meant for dcpmark... Did you get an email from Amazon? Did you get any emails from DJI prior to this?
