I have a Mavic Pro that I purchased when the mavic first was released, about March 2016 is when I got it. I have barely used the device. I have only about 9 hours flight time. I have been just charging it and updating as needed for over a year without even flying it. I have not had any issues...

I do regret buying my Mavic Pro. Not that it's not awesome, because it is. I bought it for the wrong reasons. I have a relative who is a professional photographer, and he bought a Phantom 4. I was watching him fly and it looked like fun so I purchased the Mavic. I just find I spent too much...

Here is my YouTube channel. I know it's crappy but I'm learning! UHD 4K Video

I have seen a lot of videos on YouTube as to how to get the best results shooting video. I have seen some say that shooting in 2.7k is as good as 4K.. When they edit the 2.7k do they export to the finished video as 4K? Or best to shoot in 4K if your finished product will be in 4K? If 4K is your...

I crashed my Mavic in water. It lost the clip that was recording while it crashed, but all other clips where okay. The Mavic was fine after a couple days in rice, however the battery that was in it is not. Well the battery LEDs light up, but it will not charge(Leds all light up solid) and will...

The video looks pretty good. Just like others have said, don't use the gimbal cover, especially in sunlight. It's catching the sunlight causing the glare we see. Like I posted earlier, they sell gimbal shades, I'm thinking of getting one myself, along with some ND filters. Still a pretty nice...

It's difficult to tell without seeing some of the footage but make sure you removed the gimbal lock. Also, if the camera is actually in the shadow of the props, you see them. It looks like the propellers but it's caused by the combination of the frame rate and those shadows cast on the camera...

I managed to fix the existing fan without replacement. Thanks all who replied!

Crap. It is not okay. The internal cooling fan is not working. I went to fly it and didn't even get off the ground before I got a main board overheating warning. I turned it off right away. Looks like I'm disassembling it.

Note, I tried to charge the battery that got wet and it will not charge. I put it in rice but I'm having second thoughts of even trying it again. For the price of the Mavic I think I'll just buy another battery.

Yes, I was not thinking clearly obviously, and was flying full speed in sport mode backwards. It hit a tree and fell into a pond below.

I did, and the same in the title. Doh.

Update! It's okay, the Mavic survived the dunk in the pond. The battery that was in didn't seem to make it though. It's LEDs light up, but it doesn't seem to power up the aircraft for some reason.

I do not have any insurance on it. I hope it'll be okay. It broke three of it props too. How could I be so...stupid!
