every day i read on here or see videos on youtube of people crashing or losing their drones and what have you i mean this is an alarming amount that im seeing. perhaps everyone's mavic is flawed, and only a matter of time before everyone experiences a catastrophe. idk if i should even risk flying it anymore in fear of something bad happening. this saddens me a great deal i love my mavic but i don't wanna lose a 3rd drone. thats right i lost 2 phantoms already. im tired of spending all this money just to see it fly away. or crashing. maybe they should of done a recall like with the karma.
Yeah, don't buy into everyone's mavic is bad. I was worried too reading a lot of back feedback, some of it seems legit. But yesterday got a chance to fly her in sport all over and do some waypoints in litchi, test more nd footage at different shutter speeds. The only thing I can really grouch about is the horizon. It starts off level as can be on the way up, but does go crooked into turns while flying forward, sideways outside of waypoints seem fine though. So I have to correct those in post. The manual correction messes with my shutter speed/ev using c2+dial.
Otherwise I'm flying around at ~38 to 41mph in sport mode without problems. She's almost a joke to fly over the tree line.. If there is a fail down the line, I'll post it here but so far been good.
The only thing I had to replace stock was the props. The ones it came with were not right. Think maybe from sitting on themselves in the box they warped? The bottom ones didn't line up at all. The new set I got at the mall apple store, they are perfect. I leave them in a prop case now between flights. Probably replace them if they seem too loose. They come really tight, but after use you'll notice certain props get loose at the hinge. |
