Ever Consider Buying a Spare Mav?

[gixxerbill]

You know like if it goes back in for repair or it flies off or something.

I mean they offer them by themselves for 750 for some reason right?

Thought about it but I would probably go for a different model, maybe a P3 to practice with or something.

I have a Mavic and a P4. They are very compatible as each has its weakness and pluses. The P4 will soon be sold and replaced with a P4Pro or Pro+.
FYI DJI will soon be coming out with a screen for the Mavic that is similar to the P4Pro+ screen.

Have you seen them being offered somewhere at $750 for just the bird? $750 for a backup bird if it included a battery, is a good deal. You could always bind the new bird to your old controller in case of a crash or other reason why bird #1 was down.

Best case scenario I have seen on MP for repair turnaround time has been 3 weeks for a Refresh. My non-refresh repairs are taking 5 weeks door-to-door. If you use your Mav regularly for business, a backup bird is almost a necessity.

Any links to this news?

not sure about the battery. the 750 is just for the bird.

 

[gixxerbill]

looks like it does include battery and charger.

I wonder how hard it would be to pair with RC. the first one was a pain.

Nah, for the price of a Mavic or a Phantom I could buy two or more quadcopters, I've got an Inductrix FPV and a beater Eachine Falcon Pro 250 race quad to play around with if my Mavic ever goes down hard.

How do you like that race quad? How fast? How much? and do you use goggle or a screen?

Its ok, there are better out there but just to fly around its fine. Its decently fast but you wouldn't win any races with it if you actually tried to enter a race with it. I use Eachine VR D2 goggles. Thinking about getting a Furibee fuuton 200, those have pretty good reviews, but if at all possible building your own race drone is best. I would but i'm not in the position right now.

What's the P4Pro+ screen? I can't find it. Is that new screen one that will clip in the Mavic's remote?

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.
Does this apply to Quads?

Where did you find it for $750?

What's the P4Pro+ screen? I can't find it.

You can check out the CrystalSky display here.

 

[kona]

You can check out the CrystalSky display here.

OK thanks. How would something like this work with the Mavic?

Is there pricing on this thing yet?

No.

It'll connect via the USB port on the bottom of the remote controller. I'm not sure how DJI plans to mount it to the remote controller.

Twould be nice, but the wifey would not approve.

i have two, reasons were i travel between here and another country every 6 weeks and i think soon there will be stricter laws on carrying drones between countries. Saves me carrying them across country if ever i have to depart fast,

i will always have another one waiting, If i crash it, which i will one day, then i have another.

Also it gives me 6 batteries total which is great out in areas were sometimes electricity is scarce.

its all down to affordability If you can afford it then why not.
