    Thank you, everyone. Any opinion on the Mavic 2 Pro's obstacle avoidance with the side sensors?

    Obstacle Avoidance - How good is it?

    Hi All. I am looking at upgrading from my original Mavic Pro to the new Air 2s. I have crashed my Mavic a few times now, most recently yesterday when I hit a tree limb flying sideways slowly. This is the 2nd gimbal I have destroyed because of this. My question is - How good is the obstacle...

    Sound stopped

    When I first got the Mavic Pro, sound was recorded with my videos (from cell phone mic I believe). However, that has stopped now and there is no sound at all on the videos. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Tiny screen problems Mavic

    I'm currently using my old iPhone 6 with my Mavic Pro. The problem is - I can't really see the details of anything on the screen. I was trying to video a plane over the beach today but could not find it anywhere on the screen but I saw it with my naked eyes with no problem. Has anyone...

    Mavic Issues after .800 update

    I am actually using an iPhone 6, not Android. Not sure if that makes a difference. Also - does anyone have instructions on how to do the .400 downgrade using a mac computer? I think the virtual machine stuff is all pc. Thanks.

    Mavic is rotating while hovering.

    I am no mathematician, but isn't that 3 things instead of 2? ;)

    First drone flight ever.. Check!! This is awesome!!!

    I think I broke the 400ft mark my very first battery. I have been over 1300 on a few occasions but not sure if I have done 1500. I actually have video from 2 days ago when I was level with an army chopper flying by. Good stuff!

    Mavic Issues after .800 update

    So I got my Mavic back from DJI about 1.5 weeks ago. It came back with .500 on it. I was having issues with focusing in the videos so I decided to update the firmware to the new .800 2 days ago. Since I have, I keep having strange gimble/other issues. While it is flying and I am videoing, it...

    Firmware Differences? 400/550/600/700?

    Thanks guys. They shipped it back with .500 loaded on it. I am guessing that is what they tested it with. I find it strange they didn't upgrade to the latest/greatest .700. However, I don't know how to make the .400 load using my Mac computer. I am wondering if the .500 will be fine and not...

    Firmware Differences? 400/550/600/700?

    Hey everyone. I just received my Mavic back from DJI after they finally repaired it from the lost connection/crash it took on April 17th. I know many of you swear by version .400. I believe I was running the upgraded .600 when it crashed. Now I see there is a .700 out. Can someone explain...

    Mavic Pro dropped out of the sky

    Just wanted to update everyone - so after I showed myself a little, wrote a demanding letter on my law firm's letterhead, etc. - DJI did a second evaluation and then stated it was under warranty ;) - However, they stated it would be shipped right after the repair was done in approximately 5...

    My Mavic Was Shot Out of the Sky

    - Bleedgr33n - I am an attorney in SC. I do not practice "drone law" or anything like that, however, I fly a drone and practice the law ;) If the local prosecutors do nothing, then you certainly have a right to file a civil suit against him. My opinion is, even if the prosecutor does file a...
