    Mavic 4 pro needs head reattached after self harm incident.

    This incident brings up a good point. Has anyone seen any in-flight gimbal protectors, i.e. lens hood, anywhere out on the innerwebs? Only thing I've found was on Ali Express and I've never ordered from there before. Some of there stuff seems a bit shady....kinda like I'm doing a back-alley...

    Well...I did it.

    Delivered this morning, took right at a week ordered from South Korea. Creator Combo, $3799 out the door after tax, free shipping, and no customs additional charges! Boom!! That was the cheapest price I saw during a month of daily ebay searches and knew I had to jump on it. So glad I did!! I'd...

    Well...I did it.

    So far so good! Especially the international shipment release part, and no accompanying email saying that I owe anybody any money. Let it ride, baby....let it ride....

    Well...I did it.

    Yeah, that would make sense if you only had a drone insured with them. I guess they figure they will eventually recoup that payout through my car insurance, which I am a very safe driver - haven't filed a claim in 20 years, but I am very hard on equipment. Especially when I take risks to get...

    Well...I did it.

    This seller seems very cognizant regarding customs fees when sending to the US. After thanking them, I casually mentioned, "hopefully there won't be any additional fees when it gets to customs." To which they replied, "we will adjust the declaration value carefully to help minimize the chance of...

    Well...I did it.

    I saw this morning that one of the South Korean stores on ebay had the CC for $3645. After tax, $3799. This is the same store that @Saladshooter purchased from with no additional customs fees. Anyone wanna volunteer to do a drum roll for a week, week and a half?! You gotta be cheap cause I'm...

    First Video using FPV Avata 2 for main body of footage. Shows mavic 3 death. Please critique.

    Hey all. I finally pulled the trigger on an Avata 2 after deciding that I would like to combine my fpv and cinematic footage to give my videos some additional looks. This is my first dive into the fpv world and would like some feedback, especially if it is negative, on ways I can improve shots...

    US Purchased Used Mavic 4 Fly More Combo $2999 Local Only

    No RC Pro 2 No All-I codec No battery hub or 240W charger No way to record audio, I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong No 512g hard drive Those are what sticks out for me, may be a few more items or limitations.

    Anyone bought from Canada and had it sent to US?

    So if I've done the math right, from amazon.ca, the usd for the Creator Combo comes in at 3510 plus tax makes it around 4100, which is pretty much the cheapest way to do it, far as I can tell. 4 is about as much as I'm comfortable spending, so if I can get it that close, I'll do it. The biggest...

    Has anybody ordered the Mavic 4 from Ebay? Shipped from Korea.

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

    Has anybody ordered the Mavic 4 from Ebay? Shipped from Korea.

    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...

    Anyone bought from Canada and had it sent to US?

    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...

    Anyone bought from Canada and had it sent to US?

    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?

    Anyone bought from Canada and had it sent to US?

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

    Has anybody ordered the Mavic 4 from Ebay? Shipped from Korea.

    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...
