    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    for me (and I love my Mav) it will be a question on the gimbal improvements. Personally I have found the gimbal on the Mav to be it's Achilles heel, with the slow yaw to flat horizon after a shift turn, the fact it looks so fragile going into a rucksack, installing filters on something you...

    Helicopters knocking out GPS signal?

    This ^^^^ I also practise with the drone facing me so you get use to operating the yaw in reverse. good post and suggestions above.

    New firmware 1000 for Mavic Pro. Anyone tried it?

    I'm still getting gimbal drift and horizon issue post firmware.

    Gimbal problem

    My brand new Mavic had a horrendous gimbal skipping problem worse than this and was replaced by the retailer under 14 days. My new one has developed a tilted horizon and slow pan issue despite doing all the troubleshooting and calibrations and being treated like a precious jewel. Very...

    I'm not sure, I don't think it was at the time.

    Mavic Horizon

    Hi All, By no means the first post on this subject, so sorry if it's old ground being re-typed. I am on my second Mavic (1st one horrid gimbal shake so returned under 7 days) and to date the 2nd unit has been flawless, to be honest I've loved flying it. Took it out of it's rather expensive...

    ND fliter

    Simple question - the best ND filters for the Mavic that can be fitted pre gimbal start up? Noticed lots on Amazon but none I've seen have really good reviews and most report gimbal calibration issues. Thanks all.

    Video recording stops?

    I had the same problem and downgraded to a 64gb card. I was using a 128gb (same class) but apparently the Mavic doesn't like that size.

    SD card trouble

    The speed of the SD card is important but if you're using a 128gb card it will be rejected, or will only partially record.

    Video distortion, faulty camera/gimbal?

    This is a well reported problem and you can see many examples of this I'm afraid. I too have a brand new Mavic and it produced this poor jello effect on flight 1 through to 6. It's now back with DJI after just 3 days. If you've done all the obvious including checking the seating of the gimbal...

    SD card trouble

    Are you using a SD card below 128gb?

    Brand new Mavic - Wobble

    Just thought I'd give you all a update. The retailer (Clifton cameras UK) are going to replace the drone for me, I've flown it since the severe jello and actually the flight was successful but obviously my concerns are still very much there, and a loss of confidence in the drone. I did nothing...

    Brand new Mavic - Wobble

    Hi all, Firstly thank you to everyone that has already posted about this problem on here, I've found the tips and tricks helpful but unfortunately not successful. I am a reasonably accomplished pilot of drones with around 2 years experience including a P3P so whilst I'm new to the Mav I'm not...
