I'm not normally one for enhanced warranties, but I had no problem adding Care Refresh to my shopping cart. I also highly recommend the combo package with the extra batteries, multi-charger, case, etc.
There had been several firmware updates since the launch, so I decided it would no longer be an early adopter/bleeding edge kind of thing so went for it and am super-glad I did.
Definitely spend the effort reading the manual a few times while you are waiting for it to ship, check the forums here to stay on top of common issues and how to resolve them, bookmark the DJI Fly Safe map http://www.dji.com/flysafe/geo-system/map and research the sites you want to fly at, and when it arrives, go slow until you get comfortable with the controls and features (I'm still working on understanding how they all work myself).
Above all resist the temptation to fly inside. Actually, picking up a small $50 toy drone that you can fly inside would be a good way to get accustomed to flying. I hear there are some drone sim games you can get some practice on as well, but real stick controls will translate to your Mavic better.
Good luck! |
