    I'd definitely recommend buying a mavic air. Im sure the crash was my error. Also, my experience with dji ustimer service has been outstanding.

    You can try mine if we ever cross paths. While it clearly isnt "IDIOT PROOF" its usually very easy to fly!

    Ooo - bummer! Have you gotten feedback from other Mavic owners about why the gimbal cover would cause the drone to fly erratically? That seems strange - but I don't own a Mavic so I'm curious. Kind of scary at the increasing acceleration as it approached you and your wife; did you yell "duck!" as it approached?

    I just bought my first drone - an Altair Outlaw SE. I wanted one that's relatively inexpensive and with a 'training mode' as well as full control mode to move me along the learning curve. I flew RC planes in high school but copter drones are quite a bit different. So far I'm having a blast but can see myself upgrading to a Mavic in the future. Looking forward to getting vids and pics of campsites and interesting areas.

    Keep us posted on your drone!

    Crashes are never fun and can unfortunately be costly, but we've all done it. My first drone was a low cost drone to learn to fly with. Crashed that thing about 5-10 times. Replaced motors, props, etc. Finally got to the point where I was comfortable in my abilities. Looked at all options and brands and settled on the Autel Evo. Been a great drone so far. Just wish I could fly it more often then I do.

    I do try and get campsight arial views when possible. Usually spend more time talking with people about it and teaching kids about them than I do flying. That's half the fun though!

    We have the same drone. Choose this since they say this is travel friendly because of the size. Specs is pretty high standard and easy to control even when it is little bit windy. Con is what pretty much all says about it|: BATTERY!
