Yes, you hit the two downsides of the Mavic Air. That is why I chose the Parrot Anafi a year ago over the Mavic Air. The Anafi has a ton of flight modes and a decent zoom, comparable battery life with the Mavic Mini and is QUIET. Unfortunately, quality control is not one of its best...

Yes, it is going back after the incident yesterday and I am leaning towards not replacing it with another Mavic Mini. Been flying drones for four years and never had unexplained/unexpected descents like that. I bought it as a travel drone for backpacking and other types of trips, but after...

No, I did not have the prop guard on - have not even taken that out of its box. How the Mavic Mini avoided getting stuck in those tree branches and crashing on the first descent is beyond me, but somehow it did. BTW, in case you are wondering, the battery level for the first incident was at...

I had a similar issue happen to me yesterday. Conditions were about 40 degrees F., 5 to 10 mph winds and partly to mostly cloudy. On three occasions during the flight, the Mavic Mini just started descending on its own from about 125 feet even though I was frantically trying it to get it to go...

Craigw, sorry to hear about the testing issue - thanks for trying to resolve the problem. The Mavic Air has been out about a year now. I am afraid that we may never see the low noise props since they have not appeared yet. Might be an engineering issue that cannot be overcome and DJI/Master...

Hi all, Been following this thread for some time as my one big issue with the Mavic Air is the high pitched whine it produces - I like most everything else about it, but was hoping that someone (DJI or Master AirScrew) would produce a low noise prop for the Mavic Air. I just got an email from...

Hi all, Check this out DJI Mavic Pro Drone with 4K HD Camera (DJI Refurbished) 3001080030335 | eBay Looks like it is being sold through the DJI Official Store front on Ebay. Great deal for an excellent quad.

I had a similar experience yesterday. Temperature in Chicago area was up around 38, so I went to a favorite flying field for some practice. Was going to video a falling down barn about 600 feet away from the takeoff point. Checked out everything on the drone and RC before flying and then...
