Reeeeeeaaaalllly......?! Now thats an interesting develpoment... *silently punches self for not jumping on one of those Korean mavics when he had the chance*

Just because I push the limits on what my drones can do. IMO you have to in order to get unique shots that people don't see often. So that translates to flying in sport mode with obstacle avoidance turned off, through trees and over water. Then you have the catastrophic motor failure...

Right on, thanks for the info. Please let me know when the customs fees are levied and what they amounted to. Sucks you gotta pay import tariffs for 2 countries. I know a whole lot of nothing about how an object is sent from Canada to the US, but I assume since it crosses that boarder, it's not...

A few questions...any idea why they canceled your previous 2 orders? Is this reship company providing you a Canadian address for Amazon to ship it to? When did you pay these taxes and tariffs, when you made the purchase?

Yeah, the highest prices I've seen have been on B&H and Adorama. Trying to avoid the ol' bend over/break off deal.

Ahh, didn't see the state location, valid point. Every drone I've ever purchased (air 2, mav 3, avata 2) I've also bought (and used) care refresh at least once on each. I push the limits when I'm filming. If I was able to purchase it for the Mav 4, I'd very likely do it. That being said, I...

So if you can't send it in thru care refresh in the US, what is the point of buying that service? Just hoping that it will eventually be released in the US?

Yeah, copy that. Something else I forgot to mention is I want to make sure it's not range limited and I'm making an assumption that 4's sold in Canada are not. I mean....all that room for activities....

So a week before launch, my Mavic 3 dropped into the river (not really sure why but I suspect the reflective nature of the river -it was glass that day- had something to do with it). But since the 4 was about to launch, I wasn't too torn up over it. It had had a good life. But on launch day, I...

So I remembered that about 8 months ago, the drone got wet on a canoeing trip (even though it was in a hardcase...I have since switched to Pelican) so if that little sticker inside the drone is red, I assume that will nullify the warranty, correct? Even tho I dried it in desiccant for a week and...

Only thing that is different from the original file is the 2 at the end since it's a copy. Yeah, my mac didn't like it either.

Here is the DAT file.

Something else I noticed that immediately prior to the first notification, the voltage goes up instead of down. Now this may be expected...a sort of "digging deep" if you will to keep it in the air, but I thought it was at least worth noting.

Well this is cool...you can see from the kmz file that it's already falling at the time of the first notification.

I saved all files related to the flight before I synced my logs. I think it's encypted, but have never actually tried it before. I'll give it a whirl....unlike that motor will ever do again.... *crickets* I'm not gonna sit here and say I blow them out after every flight...It's not very dusty...
