I'm sorry to have hit a nerve with you cdronefly, i guess the comment about the Breeze was a throw away comment, my real point was about DJi not giving up on the Phantom, Living in the Highlands of Scotland I'm not interested in the financial side to big business, what i wanted was a Phantom 5...

I've had my P4 since it came out and have had some fantastic days with it, I also have the P3p and the same goes for that. I will not be able to return either. With regards to a refund, with the greatest of respect the drop in value is not relevant as I will still be using them and enjoying them...

Well done to DJI, I love my Phantoms and believe a 20 mp was long over due, it also comes with some useful anti crash gear, it would be great if it were cheaper but if you have a good product, it will always sell. Time to start saving again.

Surely just a simple Firmware update could be enough to improve the P4 without trying to sell it as a completely different drone. I'm all for DJI to continue the Phantom line. In my opinion the Mavic was just produced to counter the Yunnec Breeze, it certainly worked. DJI, please work on a...

Sorry Donnie for the confusion with the name. Goes to show, we can all make mistakes:rolleyes:

Hi Rich, I let my Mrs have a go to film a beautiful misty dawn, she said she was having problems, no proper menu screen, no audio telling you everything is fine. So, like a typical male asked her what the hell had she done! I took a look at things and remembered I updated the R/C the last time I...

You're right M, it came from a bag he said he carried his water in. Never mind, I will continue to fly and enjoy my P4 until the first problems with the Mavic are ironed out and new firmware has been released . Wonder what he carries his water in now!:rolleyes:

But that was the so cool selling point when everyone thought he was going to take it out of the bag, he just whipped it out of his back pocket and everyone went WOW! I have to have one and now it looks like it's going to be Christmas before we can all have one. :eek:

Well that's a bummer! Why not order a Yuneec Breeze and pretend it's your Mavic until the real one comes and then throw the breeze away. They look alike, nice and small with folding props. Just remember the Breeze can only fly 80 metres and the battery lasts about 12 mins. Sorry for pain.

I think we all should have two or three if affordable. I find the P4 far and away better than the P3, a lot of peoples complaint was the jello effect of the 3, the little white rubber I think you are right, we should have a couple and it sounds like you have a good match there. To me , the P3...

It's funny, I'm beginning to sound like sour grapes and I don't mean to. However in another thread I said unfolding the arms in a controlled environment is one thing and taking it out of your car or pocket is another thing. I would probably sit on it or if I look at the flotsam and jetsam of the...

Hi CCDD, That was an interesting leap of faith jumping in for the Inspire, I would be interested in your opinion of how you like it. I have no doubt about the appeal of the Mavic and would certainly not criticise DJI's quality control and will most likely buy one myself. however, still something...

Perhaps we should wait a few months before overloading with excitement. The Phantom 3 had some stability issues. We raved and I still do for the phantom 4, it is a great piece of kit. The Mavic solves a lot of issues; weight, set up time and a few cool commands that can be made without having to...

Have you had a crash wiyh that battery? I had the same problem after a crash , the battery has been condemed

I have found that sometimes after a crash the little white dampers can split making the camera unsteady. If this is the proplem, replace the dampers and fill them with silicone mastic, this makes the camera ultra steady but the silicone allows for movement
