New soon to be Mavic Air user

[MavicNoob79]

Hello everyone. My name is Blair. Single 39 year old father of one almost soon to be 7 year old daughter!
Just ordered the Mavic Air. I recently bought a Syma x5uw for me and her to play with and was ultimately very disappointed. So I started looking for a real drone.
After many hours of looking one brand kept coming up, dji. So after a week of watching videos and reading articles I finally made the decision to order a black onyx Mavic Air fly more combo. Can’t wait!

Sounds good. I have plenty in stock and ship them every day except Sunday.

Welcome aboard!!
I'm sure the Air will be far more satisfying.

Not sure why the Syma would be disappointing, they're dirt-cheap and do a very good job for how cheap they are. If you're trying to compare it to a drone that costs 20x more, then of course you will be disappointed. An X5UW should only cost $30-40, since the normal $80 is way overinflated. It's a very good indoor craft to learn controls on. I still fly my X5 inside for fun, even though I have a Mavic and a Phantom.

It wasn’t what I expected. I got it for $30

Welcome to MavicPilots!
I used cheaper quads too and sold my stuff. Got a Mavic Pro recently and itching for better weather.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Now it’s time to constantly check FedEx tracking lol

[MavicNoob79]

Guess you could do that but I made a FedEx account so I can get email and text message updates hahahahaha

Gotta love those alerts. Some day, I bet we'll be able to track the trucks on a map in real-time. We can dream anyhow

You can actually do that with amazon when they use their own delivery people. Once their within ten stops of you you’ll see them on the map. It’s great

 

[msinger]

Very nice. I don't think they do those deliveries in Harrisburg yet. All of my Amazon packages come from USPS and UPS.

Ahh. It may be because there are a couple Amazon distribution places not far from me.

 

[msinger]

Perhaps. The closest Amazon warehouse to me is 25 miles away.

Howdy from Wyoming @MavicNoob79 , welcome to the community, plenty of fine folk and excellent information here.

Hi and Welcome! DJI definitely takes it to the next level.

You might consider changing your username. You won't be a Noob forever and your name will not command the proper level of respect I am sure you will be due.
