Emailed them, but never heard anything back, didn't expect to hear anything to be honest. We're not their customers, Very or Jessops are their customers.

It all started so well. Just switched on the Mavic to do a test on the patio - check out some modes.

But get a "Gimbal obstructed" warning. Tried switching on and off a few times. Same issue - though occasionally it works but when it does the image is crooked unless I manually straighten the gimbal. Next time same issue.

Appears to be a common issue - I found this:

Mavic Gimbal Issue

Both same issue as I'm having.

Other than sending it back - any other suggestions?

Reload all firmware and app?

Yeah, I kinda thought the same. Thanks.

Hmmm seems more like a hardware issue - I can manually fix it - sometimes.

Occasionally it works but not often. It doesn't help that on restart the gimbal moves so violently.

Tried a gimbal calibration - that got stuck at 68%

Searching news groups its actually a very common issue - I guess contacting DJI support is my only option.

Oh well - it lasted 2 days!

Spoke to DJI and hopefully they'll exchange for a new one or repair the old one.

If I had my chance again I'd wait for the Mavic 2. I think the Mavic 1's have some design issues with the gimbal. Brilliant in other ways except the delicate gimbal.

In the grand scheme of things its not important - but......not sure what to do

Very sorry to hear about your brother in law, that's really sad news. We've all been touched by cancer I'm sure, both my parents have been sufferers and it's a horrid disease.

If mine does turn up and your anywhere near the SE of England, I'd be happy to pop over and let him/you fly it as much as the flymore batteries will allow.

To all that are querying Dataselect. They were identified by DJI as the supplier of the P3s from Amazon.

I wrote to them and received the following email. It sounds like they are the wholesaler and mistake was still Amazons. Got a call from Amazon today saying that they were not offering Mavic drone for sale (they said "withdrawn") until they had stock and this mess was sorted out. They offered me to refund the difference and I could keep the P3s. Needless to say I declined. Looks like I'm in for the long haul of awaiting it coming back online if I am to get it at original price.

The guy seemed to be phoning round all those who had ordered a Fly More as he stated some HAD received a Mavic. Anyone on here actually get one from Amazon (SARL EU)?

--------------------------------------

Thank you for the email.

This is not my department - if you have purchased from Amazon and they have made a mistake please directly speak to Amazon to resolve.

Good luck and have a great Xmas.

The Mavic I ordered over the phone with Maplin on Wednesday night has been dispatched. I won't believe it until I have it my hands after the Amazon fiasco.

I live in Sunderland. I'm new to the UK, originally from South Africa, I've just checked that Blyth is further up north. Not too far!! Totally worth the wait mate!!

You should be able to get some nice footage from around Sunderland. Roker pier would be good and all the cliffs around South Shields.

I go further up the coast with my P2, just patiently waiting for the Mavic now, so I can do more! 8 weeks 2 days now!

Data select are the same agent that buy for very and jessops so no idea why maplin of all people got a load before anyone else?! Good for the opportunists but really pissing me off as I have 2 pre orders dating back to Sep 28th (apple and very) and have heard FA about either

what an absolute farce all this really is.
