All,

I am about to make a purchase for the Mavic Pro and DJI Goggles. I just wanted to know if the past issues with the Mavic have been resolved in regards to equipment and functions not working properly and damaged equipment from the factory. I like the idea of the portability, but if I am going to have troubles from the start, I may just get the Phantom 4Pro+ and forget the DJI Goggles for now. Please let me know what everyone thinks.

Thank you,

Dennis   

got mine yesterday, Updated as requested and its bricked my battery. Ive spent best part of 6 hours trying updates and downgrades. Not 1 reply from anyone to my post and DJI support haven't got back to me since about 3pm yesterday. Still haven't flown it at all yet. If you do get one make sure its from a company with a great returns policy!

Lot's of new users/buyers, right after they get their MP, they always tend to update App/FW right of the bat.
Remember UPDATES are optional.....TRY THE STOCK FW 1st!!!!!!Enjoy it and learn from it before attempting to update anything.
I'm still on the old app and stock FW......flew my MP here in CA and 2 diff islands in HI and back w/ out even performing @ least compass calibration.
NO NFZ, GEO whatever.

Just my 2 cents.

Go for the Mavic.  If you have a problem, you can return it for a replacement.  Check the forums, the P4 Pro doesn't seem to be doing better in terms of issues.

Remember that satisfied customers never visit this forum and don't post.
With that being said,.......why the hell am i still here?
To inform people like you that the Mavic is soo incredible dope.
The Phantom 4 is like a car,....it drives and get you from A to B.
HOWEVER the Mavic is like a Motorcycle,......a babe magnet!!!

A babe magnet haha, love it,

Had my Mavic since early-February and I have had zero problems with it - except for a bug that got lodged in the camera gimbal - and like it so much that I have already ordered and received the newest DJI Drone, the Spark.

You pay your money and you take your chances with everything in life.  As Mcflying said, not too many people come to these enthusiasts sites to say how wonderful their product is, but there are those of us who do.

If you're nervous about dropping the $$$ - buy it from Amazon as they'll take pretty much anything back.

Enjoy your flights and Fly Safely!

Mcflying,

One of the best replies I've read in this forum.
Congratulations and thanks!

Not a single issue with my Mavic flying with DJI goggles and I would suggest performing any recommended updates or else the goggles may not function correctly.

I don't have the goggles but as far as the Mavic. I had one small update problem. It was a simple fix and I love it. I bring out the Mavic and everyone loves it and is really impressed with it. If I wouldn't have purchased the Mavic I would have saved a bit more and went with the Inspire 2. In the end I'm very happy with the Mavic

oh and i have proof of the Mavic being a babe magnet.

Yup....definitely COUGAR!!!!
And...what a BIG ASS  controller you got there....LOL!

I've heard of other people having issues, but I own the P4P+ and the Mavic Pro, and absolutely love them both. its really just a preference, if you're a casual photographer and want a drone to just play with get the Mavic, otherwise if your relatively serious about your images or video go with the Phantom 4 Pro +
