I’m sure everyone on the MavicPilots forums know this already but, DO NOT DROP YOUR REMOTE CONTROLLERS... I DROPPED MINES ONTO the top of my backpack, not a long drop but waist high to table top and it bent the left stick so I replaced it with one of the extra sticks from my kit. Everything seemed fine until I noticed the drone would drift slightly sideways or rotate slowly to the left when hovering, I sent it in, thinking maybe dji care would kick in... nope 75 smakers +shipping, eeeeyuk [emoji19]

Ouch... Calibrating the RC didn't fix it?

Hey Aerial, yeah, I tried everything, factory restore, re-calibration but one day I used my iPhone to fly the drone and what do you know, the drone was rock steady and flew straight so yeah I damaged the controller. But it’s a hobby so sometimes you run into unwanted expenses

I could have done it cheaper.

Don't drop your phone, or your baby, or your cup of coffee, or your hors d'oeuvres, or your pants, either.

I’m stoked for the zoom but I’m really feeling that 1” sensor, it’s a shame that they couldn’t have it all in one package, I’d pay 1500 for a Mavic 2 that has a interchangeable gimbal system
