    How many "not" having issues with the M3?

    I did take it out for a test drive (before the updates were available). It was ok.... Though it made me take a closer look at something else since the M3 wasn't different enough from my A2S. I really wanted way points and no geo fencing. Also, it's so aggravating that you have to make certain...

    I returned the M3

    I suppose that I may have jumped the gun a bit. I did do due diligence in researching the M3 without considering other options and the fact that I already had the A2S. My confidence was shaken a little by the reports of various issues, even though I took those with a grain of salt, a few minor...

    First flight observations (nontechnical)

    So, I did get a single battery flight today and had a few minor issues and confirmed some of the notations others have mentioned elsewhere. I am posting a nontechnical, basic observation. 1). Ascending without input moving forward: Yes, this happens in Cine and Normal mode. Sport mode cancels...

    How many "not" having issues with the M3?

    I got the batteries charged and ready. I expect to set it up today and go for a spin. For now, I'm going to keep it away from the water until I get a feel for it.

    DJI Care Refresh Video verification ?

    I'm considering both. I have an agent less than a block from me. Just waiting for a call back.

    DJI Care Refresh Video verification ?

    I was wondering if it was "or" or "and". Apparently "or". It kind of threw me because I never saw any of this when I was doing the Air 2S. So, I just purchased the Care, unboxed the M3 and put it on the charger. I will bind it all in the a.m. Thanks

    DJI Care Refresh Video verification ?

    Well, that was my understanding originally with my Air 2S. However, when I now go to the site to purchase Care for my M3, it stipulates I need video verification....? I did go in and check the status of mt existing Care for the Air 2S and it states all is "valid". I am posting a cut and paste...

    DJI Care Refresh Video verification ?

    I purchased my Air 2S at the end of Sept. along the DJI Care. I followed instruction to bind the plan I found on Youtube but there was no mention of any video verification via screen recording. I just found this info on the DJI website while shopping for Refresh for my new M3. Has this video...

    Mavic 3 different flight (turning) characteristics ?

    I haven't even cracked the seal on the box yet. After reading of so many issues, I have very little confidence in this drone. Not certain what I'm going to do yet.

    How many "not" having issues with the M3?

    I finally received my M3 after a shipping delay. However, after reading about so many issues of various sorts, I'm a bit nervous to get mine in the air. I fly mostly fly over or around the ocean and need a good amount of confidence in my aircraft. That confidence has taken a few bumps lately...

    Mavic 3 Ascending when flying forward.

    Well, my M3 shipping has been delayed due to label issues with FedEx. Since reading about various "glitches", I'm kinda getting cold feet. I don't think I will even open the box for a bit just to see how/if things begin to pan out and DJI addresses/corrects these problems. A sealed box should be...

    As a Pro are you still (unexpectedly to yourself!) NOT buying Mavic 3?

    I am not a pro. Having said that, I love indulging myself with pro quality equipment...Guitars, Photography, Competition R/C aircraft, and the like. I am not pro grade by any means but, fully enjoy using equipment far beyond my capabilities. However, DJI's marketing tactics are beginning to...

    Which Mavic 3 features are ready today?

    I suppose that makes some sense.
