Quadcopters anyone?

I thought the same thing and then read about it. More expensive for only 3 mins more of flight time and a less loud flight. I'm ok with the plain mavic

 

That's true too. The new Phantom Pro looks pretty sweet

 

^^ This ^^

"New electronic speed controllers and freshly designed propellers are the cause of the increased flight time and quieter operation, and they’re also compatible with the current Mavic Pro."

So... The props are compatible with the Mavic Pro so the flight noise is the same along with the flying time if you use the new props. 4K, which the Mavic Pro already has and new speed controllers which I can't imagine that you need since it is fine the way it is. So what then??? You're just paying for the color??? LOL... I'll pass as this seems like a way to just get more money from people that don't know better. I love the Mavic but now they're just charging more for almost the exact same product. I'd still buy the Mavic Pro over this one since the upgrades are minimal at best and you can get the Fly More Combo for almost the same price as the Mavic Platinum.

 

I've got to say that I really like the color of the new Phantom though. It's still too much of a trade off due to it's size (for me) but I really do like the color. Sexy!

The Spark's new Sphere Mode looks fucking stupid and I cannot imagine a scenario in which I would EVER use that function. That is a waste of a firmware update and memory on your card. That could have been used for something more useful IMO.

 

Oh... And I just saw that the new Props are $10. So instead of spending more money on the new Mavic, you can spend $10 on a new set of props and have a new Platinum. Really stupid promotion and I find it hard to believe that anyone would fall for this tactic.

 

*cough* @lesterb315

 

We already went over it that it's just a reason to make people spend more lol

 

ESCs make a difference too.

That said .. TRD Pro anyone?

 

Introducing the DJI Mavic TRD Pro

It will come with Bilstien extended leg extensions and will have MAVIC printed in the front in large letters. It will be available in Cloud White this year and Sky Blue in 2019. They will be a limited production so DJI dealers will sell them way above MSRP.

 

This is prob a long shot, but anyone know how to unlock an ipad. I restored it but its connected to someone else's cloud so it won't let me use it without them signing in. This thing has been at my work for over a year so i brought it home to try to use it as a GPS in my truck.

 

I assume you completely wiped everything out and factory reset it correct? I've bought and sold iPads and never had an issue after completely resetting it to the "hello" page. You "should" be able to enter all your info in it from there and it should be tied to your account from that point. It shouldn't have a trace of a past account in it if you completely factory reset it because it wipes EVERYTHING (at least that's been my experience). If that doesn't work I'd take it to an Apple store and they can probably help or call Apple.

 

I wiped it clean. Factory restore it. It had someones pass code from their icloud in it. It won't even give me a chance to put my info in it to sign in.

 

Hmmm... that's weird that it wouldn't wipe the iCloud info either. Like I mentioned I've bought and sold a bunch of iPads over the years and never ran up on that issue. Apple seems like your next call.

 

Anyone know where I can buy them new fancy shmancy Mavic Platinum props? I may or may not have thought it was a good idea to fly my Mavic in a hotel room and crashed it in to a wall.

edit: I guess I should mention I checked the DJI store, they're out of stock already somehow.

 

Such a newb...

 

Fuck you. You've crashed yours inside too. I don't want to hear your shit.

 

I crashed mine OUTSIDE..at least I was smart enough to fly outside. So you lose

 

At least I didn't technically crash it. It crashed itself when it decided it wanted to pull left without me touching anything

 

Says the non drone owner

 

Where's my stickarz!!! I still haven't gotten them
