Paradigm mall got dji store. But don't think they have units available for sale

thanks dude..
will check that one later on..

Terrain follow doesn't work downhill and no manual ATTI were intended. But they may offer an update with possibility to enable ATTI mode in the future.

Weird that they intended for it to be that way, cos p3 and p4 had working follow me modes

Anyways, news of mavics crashing isn't very encouraging

Question now is, should we wait for a few months until they fix all the bugs or do the dji dance

I'm buying the DJI Care anyway, so I'm pretty much ready to crash some drone. Have you seen the review for Gopro Karma tho?

No units at dji store at paradigm. They said it's coming in mid November. Please update if there's display unit.

ATTI was heavily discussed in that dji forum. Possibly will come as configurable button at C1 or C2 or 5D. Currently, ATTI is automatically changed if there's no sat detected or VPS not available.

The crashes...

Vomit blood man. Takes ages to get it repaired, takes forever to get it back
Not covered if the drone flyaway or lost though. Only way to avoid this is don't crash the drone, unless the drone wants to crash on its own

So far I've noticed that gemfive (storm) seems to be the cheapest using code NOV10. For Mavic only, total comes up to RM4084. Mind is going yesnoyesnoyesnoyesno. Damn it.

I would probably wait for Mavic Pro 2, cuz 2 is always better.

I was waiting for mavic standard

Not sure....just got my finger cross that it will stay to date... Payment had been acknowledged.

Yeah.... There is a few issue address out after been over a week of youtube watching review, unboxing and also flight test.... want to over the mavic now just for the sake of swallowing my temptation while waiting for the drone to come.... hahaha


Drone Crash:



Control Calibration issue:



Done Flew Away after setting return to home mode when low battery (Start at 1:43):



Tutorial download log file after crash




This makes me wonder....Can a drone fly so high up ... It would be cool if it did ....

Drone Cloud surfing:

If you're an early adopter, what precautions I could surmise from the complaints from forums, in order to lessen the chance of mishaps is
- Make sure you take out the gimbal lock (take out the small clear plastic behind the camera)
- Calibrations to do: IMU (once) and compass (before each flight). Skip controller calibrations for now
- Do short and low altitude test runs before flying. Test RTH with your phone. Most rth issues seem to stem from ios app
- Turn off VPS for now, it's giving awkward results atm

so many terminology..... what is IMU and VPS.... Quiet new to this drone things because im going to be first time pilot.... Yes, I will be flying low in the empty playground until i had enough confident with the control and mavic setting before i go higher....

when i flew first time sometime ago, the temptation to fly higher beats the "had enough confident" part.. huhu..

According to comments, that behaviour is normal as the drone need to climb to RTH altitude before returning to home. You can set it to 5 meters or less if you desire.

IMU = Inertial Measurement Unit
VPS = Visual Positioning System

Here's a list of known and confirmed issues with dji mavic
http://www.mavic-guide.co.uk/dji-mavic-com...roblems-issues/

Mavic RTH in its current state is unreliable

dji might as well give us a big discount and give back manual control, since RTH & avoidance systems are causing more problems for the user than helping them to fly the drone.

Some people reported lesser issues after disabling/not using these functions hahaha. dji faillll

Hmm, Kind to think of it.... not all flaw are bad issue, perhaps we can ask extra battery or props from DJI and claim it is missing,

My aim is to take it above the cloud like in the video i posted earlier.... yeah, i know mavic wont fly that high and it just a dream ... i wonder how high can a mavic goes ?

Dji won't do that, they want u to be beta tester only

And u can't fly higher than 400ft (120m) from takeoff point, the drone won't allow u to fly higher than that unless u fly manual (which mavic does not have)

400ft or 120m i think is the default .... it can be change higher, saw some even fly 500ft.... though it is not recommended....

just survey a few sites taking preorder for Mavic pro basic set... cheapest is those in 11street..

is it trustable?
