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

    I bought my P3A from them. Took an age to arrive but yeah it was a good price (I'm also UK based). This time, I'm heading to the US for Christmas so I've been able to order a Mavic Pro and get it sent there. Absolutely hate overpaying in this country!

    so who is going to be the first to get it ?

    Same order. I won't actually be picking mine up until just before Christmas though so it shouldn't really make a difference.

    so who is going to be the first to get it ?

    I ordered mine yesterday direct from DJI. The shipping dates for the batteries and props say 20--25 business days though!

    Pre-orders & Shipping Times Thread

    I actually don't want mine to arrive too early! It's getting sent to my mother-in-law's house and I won't be picking it up until just before Christmas. The likelihood of my brother-in-law giving it a try before I get there terrifies me, haha.

    Reduced range in the UK

    I'm UK based but will be getting my Mavic from the US. Assume when I bring it back to the UK it will still have it's output limited by my location?

    Anyone else bothered by...

    Yeah I think a landing pad that doubled up as a blanket/wrap/cover etc for the Mavic would be ideal.

    Flight time & transmission distance TESTED & CONFIRMED

    Another video testing the range: Not the best video ever but he seemed to get out to 3.8 miles into a headwind without issue. Homepoint was a suburban area too, not exactly ideal conditions. Impressive.

    Watch Ebay for panic Phantom sellers in the next few days!

    I guess I am a "panic seller". My P3A is up on eBay now after seeing what the Mavic can do. I live in the UK though and will be in the USA over Christmas so I will order one soon and send it to my mother-in-law's house and pick it up over Christmas and bring it back to the UK. I'll make a big...

    Great news ref the latest firmware DJI......

    To be fair all you seem to do is moan about it. Return it if you're not happy. Mine also flew flawlessly after the update. No cracks in sight either.

    Phantom 3 Advanced Lightbridge not the same as Pro

    If you select "Custom" you can set it back to 10Mbps in the settings.

    DJI Height Restriction zones

    As I said I'm in the process of getting one removed, so I'll report back. But in summary, not very easy!

    DJI Height Restriction zones

    Yes they do implement them. I live in one unfortunately. To be more precise I live in the outer ring of a no fly zone, within about 50m of the actual no fly zone. If I try to fly from my garden it limits me to about 30m. But it's worse than that, it also actively pushes my Phantom 3 away from...

    Pretty much yeah! I don't think there's any change there.
