Hi all,
I am so excited, as my Mavic arrived today,
... or so I think.
But, something is wrong. Firstly, I could not unfold the arms, and I couldn't unfold the props either. Secondly, I was so upset, I didn't find the controller, but tried to use my phone. Anyway, maybe due to the fact that the device was not unfolded, I was not able to start it off the ground. So I thought it would be a good idea to throw it into the air, perhaps the Mavic would unfold itself. But that didn't work. The device just dropped to the bottom.
Now I am a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, my wife is quite happy, because she loves the lighting of the device, she says, it's nice for Christmas... I think I'll try after Christmas again... [emoji52]

Very small and handsome. Great thing. But it doesn't fly...

Ok, sorry, I was kidding... just to stop being frustrated... I ordered the extra flight battery about a week later than the drone, and today I was told that the delivery is still postponed...
Normally I am quite a patient guy but as time goes by... I WANT MY TOY...
Ok, maybe I can orbit the Xmas tree... if it's arrived at that time...
Best, Randolph [emoji5]️
 
So let me get this straight, first there was no controller in the box? Second the arms wouldn't unfold on the props wouldn't either? But you thought it would be a good idea to throw it in the air anyway and see if that would unfold everything? Ummmmmm......... ok

Yeah, you know, if nothing else works, hit it with a hammer. ;)

Did someone hide your medication? :)
 
Hey I must admit the mavic is very good. No matter what I do, I have not been able to crash the thing.


I don't actually have it yet either but that's just details. It must be around here somewhere because I paid for the thing months ago.
 
In the meantime I got another parcel, a funny technical device inside, unfoldable arms...props...cam...don't know what to do with it ;-)

Throw it up in the air and see if it flies. LOL:)
Glad you finally received it!
