Greetings Australia,
Motorcycles and Mavics go hand in hand. I wrap mine in a towel and throw it in my saddle bag combining two things I love to do. Have fun!

Welcome to the forum!

Motorcycles and Mavics. You may be tempted to try some Active Track modes. While they can get some great results, really scout out the terrain you plan on travelling. I have seen a lot of crashed Mavic videos from people trying this.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. As with most new toys, I've been getting out every day flying until the batteries are flat. My first impression is that I'm a bit disappointed with my experience with the live video to the controller. The first couple of times I went out It seemed to stream flawlessly, and then it decided that pixilation and freezing screens was the way to go. I'm using a Nexus 5X phone (which I know isn't on the recommended list) but it worked fine the first couple of times (it seems like the update on the 22/11 may have been the trigger point for the change but I'm not 100% sure). I tried the same phone in airplane mode but it's only moderately more reliable. I tried a Nexus 5 telephone which I own also, I did a system reset on it so there are no apps installed aside from stock android, but the feed seems very dim and not as reliable on this device either. I will try persisting a little longer before I start annoying the DJI support line.
