In general, I try to bring my Mavic Pro (previously P3P, etc.) with me on vacation. And in general, the answer is no you can't fly your drone. I'm not exactly sure why but if you ask, they will usually say no. So my approach is not to ask and to find a space that's relatively hidden from...

i just picked up 2 more this past weekend from the apple store. the receipt (again) does not have the serial numbers. the receipt just has the part number. i had the apple employee open them in front of me to make sure that everything looked legit inside and both were brand new.

thanks mate! i'll see what i can do. it was a brand new mavic pro and i didn't really do much configuration on it. i was really nervous flying it even though i have a lot of experience with the p3p and p4. there was a lot of wind (you can see the palm trees swaying) and messages from the...

I'm a beginner with this stuff but here's an attempt at a video. Criticism / tips are welcome. I used Adobe Premiere CC and got music for free from bensound.com.

I'm in Cancun right now and flew my mavic pro this afternoon. It was a bit windy though since I'm near the beach. I tried to focus by tapping on the screen but it didn't seem to work. Would the wind affect focus since maybe the drone is moving a lot? It gave me a warning for high wind so I...

His explanation said that he works in a shop so he opened it in the shop and the box got dirtied up a little bit. He said that he tried to connect the remote to a tablet but the picture didn't show up. The box didn't have a lot of wear and tear on it (edges were sharp, etc.) but was scuffed...

I attached an upload of the receipt. My only obvious modifications are the red blocks. There is no serial number on the receipt. Yes, it's odd and the apple employee was confused when I returned it but she scanned the box and shrugged it off. I bought 2 of these so I got 2 receipts and...

yeah, afaik, paypal and ebay don't really care that much about the seller. if a buyer complains, they'll refund the buyer. if a buyer does that over and over again, they will probably stop at some point though but you're still pretty much screwed as a seller. and yeah i get that taking...

i fully acknowledge that i got lucky here and dodged a close one.

I don't think DJI screwed up by putting in an old refurbished broken unit into the box and sent it to Apple. I have seen some videos of people getting their Phantom with a memory card in it and when viewing the card it showed the inside of the factory, etc. but I don't think this happened here...

btw, I don't work in IT now but I still work deeply in technology for a big tech company (one of the ones that you all use every day). I did work in IT back in the day though but I was mostly a software engineer that also did some sysadmin work on the side if the company was too small to have a...

Here are some details. I did try to pull the logs. I installed DJI Assistant and it connected to the mavic pro. However, when I clicked "Flight Logs", it just hung as it tried to get a list of the logs. The mavic fan did go on and it got loud but it never actually gave me a list of files...

It looks like this will remain unsolved. I'll write more later but I just returned this to the Apple store so they took it back and gave me a refund.

i am trying to pull the logs. the mavic connects and i'm able to see firmware but when i click flight records, it just hangs and gives the spinner forever. i'm using a macbook pro on os x. wife is bugging me to go shopping so i'll have to work on this later.

I'll pull the flight logs but unfortunately as others have mentioned ebay and paypal will side with the buyer when he will claim that I delivered a faulty product. Yes, I'll be sure to sell locally, etc. instead of using ebay and paypal (other than gift) for stuff in the future.
