Hope they offer a serious camera on the Mavic 12 megapixels is very low for a photographer. I will buy one, when that happens, not before.

I wonder if the cracks by the motors are from high heat if flying too long at one stretch. I only have two batteries so about 20-40 min is my limit (usually 15 min at a time) Had my P4 for two years and its still perfect.

A Phantom 4 is hard to beat unless you need the extra megapixels for still photography. Otherwise the 4g video is more than sufficient. I am sticking with my Phantom 4 until they put 20MP on the Mavic.

You are corrected. That gimbal guard is meant to keep on during flight. I just wonder if it interferes with the bottom sensors, which sees the ground.

Does the Carbon Fiber Camera Gimbal Guard interfere with the bottom senors ?

I have no idea how this works. I I'm thinking about buying the company, just in case it works. Da Kingfish NFZ mod LINK

Are there any "Gimbal Protectors" available that do not interfere with the bottom sensors ? Seems these gimbals are the most fragile of any I have ever had. The vertical arm is ridiculously fragile, and very susceptible to BENDING. I saw a guard that went over that arm, but I can not find it...

NEVER EVER would order this from Bang or Gear. You can not be serious.

I sent mine in on 9/19/16 / gimbal tilt - 2 hour labor and about $25 parts - If I get it next week I will consider myself lucky. It has been very frustrating that it should take this long. So - Send it back for replacement if you can.

I don't know why they went to a comparatively narrow 28mm lens. BIG difference from the 20mm on the P4. I would MUCH rather have the 20mm. Maybe by the time all the issues are discovered and addressed, and I'm ready to switch, they will have the 20mm lens as an option. Actually a zoom would be nice.

There is no doubt, there will be something they need to improve. Mavic is a whole new technology, with lots of things to be FIELD TESTED. No doubt they did lots of testing to get to this point, but nothing close to what you all are going to do for them. I don't understand why anyone would...

Really won't know until they are out in masses. I think I'll wait a month or so. My P4 will b fine for now.

I think they go to a 20 mm lens.

Reverse course is a GREAT OPTION with more then 50% battery. I would like to see it on Litchi, that way you only need to plan mission one way if you want. Less chance of error.

It did serve a beneficial purpose to Mavic. It put the focus of FOCUS. Everybody was freaked, then learned the picture is great, I WANT ONE NOW !!!!
