Does anyone know if the mavic will fly without the gimbal and camera? I know this is possible with the inspire, phantom 3 and 4. But I cannot find anything online about the mavic. The reason is to practice and if I crash not have to buy a new gimbal.

Pretty sure it will still. I say this because my old one had a damaged cam/gimbal that was non-functional and it still flew just fine.

Why the need for two threads, of course you can fly without camera and gimbal, and if you crash you will only need to buy aircraft if you can get one without gimbal and camera.
