    Is this the real life? Is it just fantasy?

    Good call. I didn't get Care Refresh because I heard it didn't cover as much as State Farm did and just the horror stories from DJI customer service were a turn-off. This situation just sucked because I had already talked to the State Farm agent and was in the process of getting the insurance...

    Is this the real life? Is it just fantasy?

    Maybe. Idk, it just seemed like a very smooth transition. While DJI might have terrible customer service, I feel like only the people that have issues are the ones talking about them. Also, having worked in retail and other jobs in the past dealing with customers on a regular basis, I wouldn't...

    Is this the real life? Is it just fantasy?

    Newer Mavic Pro owner here. About two-ish weeks ago I was taking off with my drone for my second flight ever when it suddenly began spinning uncontrollably and crashed. Heart dropped, blood pressure went up, and then I saw it. The rear left wing was broken. I had literally flown this **** thing...

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    I only flew the drone for about 7 minutes total on this first flight. Since the weather is much colder than usual here, I just wanted to get the MP off the ground.

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    Sorry, I meant to say not running the latest version of iOS. All my apps were closed when I flew, but I will try putting it in airplane mode next time to see if it cuts off again. I will keep y'all updated if I have another issue, but hopefully everything runs smoothly next time.

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    I thought that this might be the problem, but when I cut it back on it was over 80% charged. It was just really weird because it happened mid-flight and show the red icon that had the phone and the charger on the screen, but then it was charged when I cut it on.

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    I am not running iOS. Do you think I need to update my phone? Just terrified of updating since everybody I talk to that has updated has had a super laggy phone. Nor was I on airplane mode.

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    The entire phone actually cut off and showed the icon to charge it.

    First Flight, Phone Cut Off

    Hello everyone, I just got the Mavic for Christmas and flew it yesterday for the first time. I got everything connected and calibrated, took off, and then my phone just suddenly cut off. I have an iPhone 6s and everything was fine when I was setting everything up and the phone was fully charged...
