    Do you really need a MAVIC? Lol

    I think his rant is not about how to choose your first machine, but about the desire to upgrade with the latest and greatest when you've already got one that can still do the job. I personally consider that doing something with anything less than the best tool I could afford is a waste of time...

    Do you really need a MAVIC? Lol

    That when I see that beautiful footage in a postage stamp-sized 720p window on my 4K monitor it seems like an awful waste of opportunity... I wouldn't make the effort of going to shoot anything for a result in lower than 4K size. I do have an I1 that can do it, but then the bulk is certainly...

    Possible leak for price of DJI Goggles

    The Moverios have a touchpad/mouse interface. Just mount the controller in place of a phone and operate from there. A bit more clunky of course, but works.

    Possible leak for price of DJI Goggles

    You'd connect the BT300 via USB and run the DJI go app on them instead of a phone.

    DJI Care Refresh

    Well, insurance is made to cover accidents... Flying along birds that don't care but one happens to have a bad day and does attack anyway is an accident, flying along ones that are known to attack is stupidity, just don't do it / if you do it's your problem, other people who fund the insurance...

    Purpose of Manual Focus?

    You won't get any noticeable effect unless you've got the drone close enough for the props to cut your face. Again focus is not a feature, it's only a result of DJI likely choosing an off the shelf smartphone camera module for the Mavic for size reasons, and given smartphone camera modules...

    I Can't Say Much But... LOOK!

    These specific apps are completely useless, just use the generic Tapatalk app and add all your favorite forums to it.

    Android DJI Go app update out supporting Mavic

    What's driving me crazy is the "Mavic Pro - Buy now" ad that pops up when launching the app. YEP I HAVE, NOW JUST DELIVER IT ALREADY INSTEAD OF NAGGING!!!! :p

    I Can't Say Much But... LOOK!

    Which was already stupid at the time, although more understandable since there was significant difference between the platforms. But now all current DJI machines work on the same platform, with common procedures/user experience and only minor differences. More than half of the operation of a...

    I Can't Say Much But... LOOK!

    Still don't understand why these are completely separate forums, requiring separate registration and memberships and causing duplicates instead of just being sections of the same forum like the P1/2/3/4 are on here. Makes no sense at all.

    Pre order discounted DJI Mavic $999 - (£826)

    The point is that they're known for slow delivery.

    Purpose of Manual Focus?

    It's got no purpose in the Mavic's use case, its presence is just a "side effect" of the choice of camera technology that went into it.

    Hobbyking have a temperature-regulated battery heating bag.

    Can I charge my iPhone while flying?

    Your battery is shot. Replace it, or the whole phone. The adapter can charge the phone only while not being used to fly, unless you're using the short range WiFi link.
