    Creaky arm on new Mavic?

    Which part? I first noticed the creaking literally on lifting the Mavic from its case.

    Creaky arm on new Mavic?

    Sorry for the delay, video is up here: While I'm not sure how clearly you'll be able to see the movement I described, you'll get a sense of the noise coming from the arm. This is with minimal pressure, for what it's worth - I wasn't forcing the drone at all.

    Creaky arm on new Mavic?

    There's a bit of movement in the arm accompanying the creaking noise - inwards towards the battery.

    Creaky arm on new Mavic?

    Hey all, Had my Mavic a few weeks now, flown a few times with no issue - still in brand new condition. That being said, I've noticed that when folded the left arm (when looking at the drone from above) creaks and has a little give, moving inwards towards the battery. Is this a common issue or...

Just wanted to double check, I realise I'm overthinking but absolutely babying the Mavic right...

    What are the prop mounts made of?

    Last basic question, honest! On fitting my props for the first time, I think I over-tightened the props when mounting them. But just to clarify, the mounts are made of metal, correct? So the (replaceable and therefore way cheaper) propeller fittings would strip or break instead of the motors...

    Very basic questions re prop motors

    That's great, thanks for the response and I'll make a note to do the same! Don't want an expensive drone crashing for the sake of cheap propellers.. Just to clarify, I don't mean they swing freely (as expected), I mean if the motor is held still, the prop mounts have a little wobble but only...

    Very basic questions re prop motors

    Hi all, So I recently sold my Phantom 3 standard and bought the Mavic - I just couldn't resist, it's an absolutely gorgeous piece of kit. I'm absolutely babying it right now (as I tend to do with my new purchases) and just have two quick questions. The first - I noticed that the two props with...
