This is a really fun quad. I was running it around in sports mode and I just felt like a bad *** racer

Haven't tried sport mode yet. But I did get her up to 400 feet and got some nice footage and pics of my area. Didn't go out very far this time. Looking at getting insurance before I go out 2000 feet or more.

You can get State Farm insurance for your Mavic

I probably need to get insurance. Before I knew I could do that I bought a Trackimo and bought the care refresh so I can at least find and send back a tangled mess. BTW what's the deductible on the State Farm insurance? Thanks

No deductible. Got mine thru Tim Bordelon at State Farm. 3117 S Carrier Pkwy, Grand Prairie, TX 75052 $60.00/year. He is familiar with the process now!

Be sure to ask about adding jewelry, firearms or collectibles to the policy. The Mavic actually only costs $18 for the year but the minimum State Farm can charge for a policy in Texas is $60/year.

Anyone in the DFW area still needing a Mavic?
My Apple order for the basic Mavic just arrived at the Apple Store in Southlake. I received my Mavic Combo order the day before Christmas Eve. Let me know if interested.

Anyone needing a Basic Mavic Pro? Their ready for pickup.

I've got two Mavic Pro, Basic, waiting for me at Apple Store in SOUTHLAKE. I received my Mavic pro combo shortly before Christmas
If anyone needs one, I can meet them at the Apple Store.
If no one is interested, then I'm going to get a refund.

Coppell, TX - Mavic owner for 3 weeks. Love it. I'm 8 miles from DFW, but I AM within 5 miles range of a couple of helipads, as many people are in DFW. I've never seen them in use, and I wouldn't fly at all if I could hear or see a helicopter around. What kind of range are you guys getting when flying in the city before the signal gets weak or is dropped?

Nice distance, but I'm satisfied you weren't in the city with THAT kind of range
