I bet they are telling all of the retailers that they are at the top of the list, we are all in a waiting list wait and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it, other than cancel our orders, and I will not be doing that, hope you get your Mavic soon.

Great video , I've been fixed to this Mavic forum , hanging to get one .
Living at Caloundra on the sunny Coast. Any of you opt for the DJI insurance?

I'm usually all for insurance, but haven't bought the care plan. Then again, with riseabove apparently not having any idea when their shipment of mavics will arrive, I've got plenty of time to reconsider buying coverage...

Rise Above have really annoyed me with their customer service, and my pre-order.
Model Flight in South Australia have started distributing orders and they not onced commented as a retailer that they are "at the top of the list". Whereas Rise Above mention it all the time and still... nothing.
Are you sure model flight have started distributing. At least someone is getting them. I ordered through sphere.net.au and heard nothing except sometime in the next 8 weeks.

I haven't heard a peep from riseabove since I paid my deposit in mid Oct. They're supposedly a tier one dealer, and, even with Model Flight and at least one dealer in NZ now shipping, riseabove can't seem to get any mavics?
Model Flight's website shows an EDD of 21 Nov - I'll contact riseabove and if they still have no information, I'll go with MF..

I plan to do the same. The annoying thing is if I have to move to Model Flight too then I'm back to the end of the line.
I'm not mad at the delay, frustrated at how it's been handled. They've taken my money and then given radio silence. Let me know what you come up with if you contact them.

Be careful. When Modelflight say they are getting some in it probably means they are getting a 'delivery'. I have read some dealer in the US have had deliveries but when they ordered 100 they only got 10.
My order is with RiseAbove and I ordered the minute their website listed them. They ordered 100 from DJI. There's no way DJI will ship them 100. DJI would rather satisfy their direct order customers first. Think about it. DJI get more profit from direct orders than from dealers. Love to hear from what RiseAbove have to say but I guess it'll be 'We have still had no confirmation from DJI about delivery date'
The moment they have a confirmed date I'm sure they will contact all the customers who are going to have their order fulfilled. And that won't be 100 customers for sure. More like 10

the dealers outside of DJI are the meat in the sandwich and are on the waiting list imho, so do not go off at your at your dealer, as has been said before I would think that DJI would ship their direct customers first.
So I just chatted with Jason at Modelflight. He said that their first shipment has sold out, and that they wouldn't be able to supply more until early December. I was thinking that, like RiseAbove, they don't have a clue when their first shipment is arriving (or how many it will contain), so are now saying that the first shipment is sold out, but Jason says they've already started sending mavics to their customers. So, I'm either going to keep my order at RA and place another order with MF or keep my order at RA and not also order with MF. As has already been stated, it's a bit weird if the 'tier one' RA hasn't started shipping, but other resellers have...

Wow. Dealers in Aus have shipments. Maybe Riseabove did get some and I was not one of the lucky 5 out of the 100 pre-orders who have had theirs shipped. I'm giving RA a ring now.
