GoPro is recalling its Karma drone ouch.... so glad I got the Mavic!!

yes. If you don't believe me, I don't care :)

I'm guessing Mr Raptor hasn't gotten his Mavic yet and has taken it upon himself to be the drone police.

yes Raptorman. I keep seeing people freak out about things others are posting. What if.... what if they have permission? What if, this isn't their first drone? I am quite familiar with all these things, my father just got his 107. I won't be, but I am very familiar with it all.

The first video is mine (I took it down because of people like you). I have spoken with the airport managers. I am flying legally. I have the B4UFLY app. Stop assuming every person is breaking the rules.

I keep seeing this answer everywhere. I am confused... so every time I fly I have to find a cold spot to calibrate the IMU? Or will doing it a few times in a cold environment *fix* it so it does it faster? Mine seems to calibrate almost every time I fly, takes a little while. pretty annoying.

I live in an airport zone, small local one. Called the airport manager and he said anytime I plan on going over a few hundred feet to just text him and let him know so he can pass along the info. Pretty cool guy.

I flew mine around a mountain top yesterday full of towers & antennas and had no issues. Not to say you won't, but just my experience.

Ah! didn't see that, thank you sir.

I am not talking about the micro USB on the controller. I am talking about the micro USB port on the actual Mavic. See page 8, item #12 on the aircraft https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/mavic/Mavic+Pro+User+Manual+V1.0.pdf

Love mine. Had it since Tuesday, flown it maybe 10-ish times. Never had any problems that I have noticed. Lots of friends and family are wanting one now :) As more get them, the demand will just keep climbing. I have a feeling it's going to be hard to get one of these for quite some time.

I saw its got a small micro USB port on the Mavic itself. I'm guessing it's not to charge, what is it used for? Read the user manual and didn't see anything. Is it just used to update firmware? ps. I got mine on Tuesday and have been flying it quite a bit. Flies like a dream and produces...

There was a picture posted way back in this thread (cant search just 1 thread... lame!) with a supposed email from DJI to retailers saying they were shipping out a small amount first to dissuade the angry customers. At first I thought it was total crap but seems like thats exactly what happened...

ok first flight done. I've never owned a drone before. I've flown several small ones and am pretty good. Got everything charged up, update took forever. But once it updated I got it airborne no problem. The joysticks seemed a little backward to me, so I just took my time to get familiar with...

comes with a memory card, 16gb. good thing, I dont have one at work. for some reason I cant get my controller to turn on, waiting to see if it just needs to be at 100%. going to take a maiden flight here in a few mins. also agree on the quality. feels amazing. arms spring out, this thing is so...
