Crutchfield specializes in more curated product marketing. You always have access to their specialists who actually know the products, can discuss with you the deployment strategy and troubleshoot installation. And their prices are very competitive, even compared to someone like Amazon. They...

Considering that these are proprietary goggles with two 1080p screens, direct OcuSync interface to the drone and built-in control mechanisms, the price is in line with what I thought it would be. I actually predicted $750 price point. DJI could wait for technologies like Google DayDream to get...

Crutchfield is usually reasonable with their returns. Ordered lots of audio equipment from them in the past and they work with you if you are not satisfied. Obviously, if Mavic would be crashed or even scratched, they may start asking questions, so extra care may be in order. But that comes with...

Yeah, let us dust off our magic lamps and check for the answer. Did you try MavicProBestReturnPolicyFastestShipment.com site? Seriously though, best return policy would be either Amazon.com or Apple store. Both accept returns within 30 days with no questions asked as long as you will ship it...

Easiest way would be to buy one of those $5.00 car magnet holders which come with strong neodium magnet and steel plate, get piece of plywood in the shape of smartphone, attach magnet to the plywood and plate to the tablet - PROBLEM SOLVED. If tablet is too heavy, use two magnet holders - you...

Remember that Mavic should solve two particular issues for those who use tablet with Phantom: - 1080p vs 720p streaming. - dedicated high-contrast telemetry display Both of these improvements should go long way towards making it easier to use smartphones, especially 5.5" screen large ones that...

Because 95% of all regular owners are just fine using smartphone. And the whole point of making compact controller with dedicated telemetry screen was not to stick a giant tablet to it. And because iPhone 7+ (as well as 6+ & 6S+) exists which is not much smaller then mini iPad. Aftermarket will...

You pretty much surrender your rights to return and possibly warranty claims, depending on how stringent DJI would be on enforcing their own rules to only honor warranty service if bought from authorized dealer. Considering all the risks of buying an expensive item with little track record on...

Just make sure you get the version with controller. Not sure about prices in Canada, but in US controller-less (WiFi only) version is $750, while normal is $1,000. And then there is fly more bundle which basically includes bunch of extra batteries, small bag and various accessories for $1,300...

Well, they already have $750 WiFi only price point, so the next step would be to see if they can reach $500 point at the user friendly Mavic size. There is a consensus that $500 would be a sweet spot to put a ton of drones under Christmas trees. $750, $1,000 and $1,4000 (P4) are still strictly...

With the Mavic, you would need to stop the drone a bit higher off the ground then with Phantom, so you would reach up to grab it. That way you can protect yourself from getting near blades. But because Mavic is so lighter and the underbody is perfect size to hold a grip, I would imagine that in...

Samsung had decades to work on their phones. It did not shield them from the mess the Note 7 launch has become. Mavic is substantially different from Phantom line, so we can not simply assume that DJI has everything figured out.

I would speculate that DJI would change software to make camera auto focus on infinity after launch, as their current pre-production approach to have user focus would lead to many many soft videos as users just forget to take that step each and every time. As for Casey, he values his high...

Newness and all the growing pains associated with it. There are still no reliable reviews available. We still don't know how well the new body, new motors and retractable arms would hold in real world. There may be bugs in firmware that would take couple of months to sort out. And by Christmas...
