Mavic has alot of issues as well reported by many users. I had to send my initial one back in because of focus issues. I have been flying for the last 4 months in 3 countries and over 4 different oceans with no issues though.

@craiger0069 7 жыл бұрын

TR Not being a drama queen when a major company won't put simple drone necessities like sensors. It's a way overpriced toy with a go pro on it. You would be pissed if you thought this was a DJI style drone and you crash it immediately.

@willtran6624 7 жыл бұрын

Kyle.. you dont NEED sensors. Jesus Christ this is the difference between seasoned hobbyists and first time fliers. Ive been building multirotors since 2010 and even my big 1000mm octacopters equipped with a6000 and 16" propellers dont have sensors besides compass/gps and built in barometers on the fcu. Ive flown 3 times as long without sensors before even purchasing the Mavic. Guess what? Ive NEVER invoked a sensor and I fly mostly in sport mode (no sensors, duh). I havent even crashed in YEARS when I was building multirotors. Most "consumer" drone purchasers are somehow conditioned to believe they need vertical positioning sensors, front obstacles sensors, sonar and airspeed sensors to even fly. You dont. Pick up an airframe, propulsion kit and a kk board and learn how multirotors perform, with and without gps lock. Its really quite sad to see newbies believe "drift" is some monster because they never actually flew full manual and rely on consumer manufacturers to provide them with failsafes. Excruciatingly, most newbies still crash their newly acquired drones because of pure ignorance and failure to pre flight check, plan or calibrate, all in the excitement that they bought this "new cool drone" with so many modes and sensors. Stop blaming crashes on lack of sensors, it makes you look like an idiot that cant take responsibility for your actions. You dont crash by avoiding certain scenarios and not because your aircraft was "lacking" in technical specifications and components. Oh btw, all drones are glorified toys lol. A drone is not a necessity but a luxury.

@craiger0069 7 жыл бұрын

TR exactly you don't need and my comment wasn't for you to be honest. You know wayyyyy more than me and I'm not gonna deny that but for a Production model I believe it is a must to be successful. It's for cinematic shots not racing or flying crazy just doesn't compare to an earlier phantom with its easy controls.

I actually own the Karma Gimbal and I like it. I made sure not to buy the drone after watching your reviews but so far I have appreciated having the gimbal. I am sure there are things I would like changed about the gimbal but mine doesn't seem to make those noises yours makes. Sounds like you got sand in your gears or something. Admittedly the sound from the Hero 5 does seem pretty bad but I think it's because (from my understanding) they focused on eliminating wind noise for high speed activities and creating a drainage solution for making the audio work well underwater (supposed to drain water similar to a human ear.) So I think if you want high quality (Like a recording studio) audio they still want you using an external mic.

@sxd-215 7 жыл бұрын

Great points. I also have no motor noises with my Karma grip and it's one of the quietest ones I've tested. Sure the battery life and lack of joystick sucks, but the ease of controls and ability to mount it balances that.

@3Daoist 7 жыл бұрын

Actually my battery life seemed pretty good. I actually even set my GoPro for the screensaver never to kick in and the screen brightness was up and I still managed to hike for a couple of hours before the gimbal ran out of juice and the GoPro was still fully charged.

@sxd-215 7 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say the battery life is terrible for what I need either, I went snowboarding with it and it lasted just about the whole day's trip before it died. I do wish that the camera wouldn't draw power from the gimbal so that it lasts longer. I have extra batteries for the camera for a reason. It's just taking away time from the gimbal having power.

@3Daoist 7 жыл бұрын

I feel you on that. It'd be nice to have options in that regard. I am looking into getting a "wearable gimbal". There's a few out there but the reviews are very mixed on them all.

@Jake-ui5vd 7 жыл бұрын

Agreed! Mine doesn't make any grinding or clicking noises. I use it very regularly too! All in all, I'm glad bought my Gopro and Karma grip, and a Phantom for flying!

Been building drones for 6 years, flying airplanes and helicopters for 10. Ive been tuning and sourcing components for multirotors longer than you have been born son.

@willtran6624 7 жыл бұрын

I dont recall any jealousy commenting on anything. More of a personal bias/input. Its hard to have such a successful channel without controversy. That being said, i do respect people that do such outlandish videos because at the end of the day, its getting decent attention. I dont believe you make much money off of the videos themselves but you do gain a good amount of noteriety and the eye of the internet in whichever sector you decide to produce videos in.
