Second drone for me, picked up a phantom 3 pro in April, sold it yesterday and only lost about £70 on it so well chuffed
Is the Mavic Pro your first drone?
- Thread starter MavicPro
- Start date
Used to fly a Logo 10 many years ago.. So, not new to RC. Had a Flycamone2 on my Logo 10 in 2008 with 640 x 480 video.. It's simply incredible how much things have changed in the last 8 years..

My first drone was a MATTEL VERTIBIRD.... I went through 4 of them. It was my favorite toy as a kid.

I have no idea how many I've had. As for DJI, I've had FC40, phantom 2, 3 and 4.I hope for good things with the Mavic.
It is my first. I have been flying RC planes for almost 30 years and have flown some drones over the years. I have been looking at buying one for the last 4 or 5 years but nothing jumped out at me till now. I saw the Mavic and pre-ordered it less than 24 hrs later.

First one for me. I have had my eye on DJI drones for years but could never get one high enough on my wish list. When I saw the Mavic videos, I couldn't resist any longer.

I hope newbies will follow through with the proper FAA registration and some common sense.... when in doubt of any situation don't fly, meaning whether its the flying conditions or possibly legal issues. Keep this hobby in the clear as best you can

This will actually be my first drone. My wife and I had been talking, and I had the go-ahead to get a drone for some camera work she wanted done. I was actually busy weighing options between a P3P and a P4 when I happened across the announcement for the Mavic. I actually only found out about the GoPro Karma while reading about Mavic's attributes and leaked photos. I made the decision then to hold out for the Mavic.

My first real drone. Always been interested in the "$1,000-class" drones but never decided to purchase. Recently saw the capabilities of the DJI Phantom 4 at that price point which finally pushed me to purchase. When it came time to pull the trigger I learned about the Mavic Pro and that sealed the deal.

Would folks recommend a complete drone newb purchasing an inexpensive "trainer" quadcopter to practice with before the Mavic arrives?
Mavic will be my 4th DJI drone. They've come a very long way in a short time!
I'm glad to see so many first timers; be sure to read and understand the manual before you fly!
