TomTop is showing mine as dispatched, got the mail early this morning.

I saw the below in the mail, but I don't see any tracking numbers? Does the tracking number come through separately?

By the way, There are exsit two special cases as follows:1.part of the delivery code (such as ZPTD, ZDP, DHL, etc.) there are two tracking numbers, please reference the second shipment message;2.your order maybe shipped out with several packages. But do not worry, we also will send you the package information with several emails. Looking forward to your understanding.

You'll probably get a similar one tomorrow with an actual tracking number.
I did but it didn't work for a few hours afterwards.

Strolled into Maplins yesterday to price an OTG cable to have for when the drone arrives and strolled out again as quick - €19(!):eek: - Ordered from this eBay seller yesterday afternoon and delivered this morning!€3!!!!

Looks like pretty poor quality cable. You'll be replacing it soon. Still better than getting ripped off from maplin. I'd expect to pay a tenner for a decent cable.

Thanks to sphinx501 I've ordered the Mavic. Wanted a drone for ages:)

Same here! The gf doesn’t know about this purchase yet though!

I’ve been hooked to YouTube videos of the Mavic since, quite scared of flying this over water!

Has anyone got the DJi Care Refresh after purchase?

ozmo · 17-08-2017 01:39PM

While you are waiting - I can recommend these low cost bits

This is better than the one it comes with - replaces the cover and clamp with one device that is faster to fit
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gimbal-Fixed-Camera-Guard-Protector-Lens-Hood-Protective-Cover-Gimbal-Fixator-Buckle-Lens-Cap-for-DJI/32811620831.html

These are good for taking off in grass

And Amazon have well priced memory cards - The Samsung EVO+ 64G for about 25 Euros is a good one

Is there a maximum size that's compatible with the Mavic or indeed any drone?

TomTop have it for $24.99

Thanks - probably ok from them - It can be got even cheaper - but there are a lot of fakes out there and I didn't want risk that and wait weeks for it for sake of 2 euros.

I think the Mavic lists the maximum at 64G - Ive heard you can put in 128G cards though - but why would you bother... You get about 2 minutes of 4k per gb. Just make sure you dont get one that is too slow.

Yep. Absolutely no problem with it either.

Hope I never need it, but better safe than sorry as they say.

Thanks I just ordered a memory card

For anyone getting the spark this might be a good option, I've just ordered one, keep the gimbal safe

Word of advice; apparently there are a good few leg extenders that result in the mavic flying up and it keeps going because the extender interferes with the sensor underneath....and it thinks there's something under it.

On a brighter note....

I got a tracking number today that links to 17track.net which returns a 404 for the tracking number. Number begins with 1Z.

Did your tracking number start with 1Z also I was expecting a DHL or other courier code?

I know this questions not directed at me, but my tracking number also started 1Z and if I recall correctly, I initially had same problem with a 404 code, but only on the 17track site.

Go to ups and check it there, it should work no problem though, it looked to me like ups own site was updating the 17track website, as it had updated movements on my package hours in advance.

Rick or Ted; are you not in Dublin and if so, did you get yours the same day that UPS update above appeared? I'm in Kildare and hoping they'll deliver to the sticks in time for some kind of flight today...

Sorry dude, once it hits leaves Tamworth it's always a day later with UPS. Once it arrives in Dublin, they deliver the same day. Dont think the deliver on Saturday. Really depressing..

You could call up to Drogheda and fly my mi Drone if you like?!?

BArra · 18-08-2017 12:00PM

Sorry but dont think it will be with you today, if its standard shipping than thats a ferry across, express would be air and youd have it but not with standard level service

Call ups in Dublin, see if you could collect from their depot tomorrow morning? Most courier services offer this service.

Where did you get the filter if you don't mind me asking? Is that more for lens protection or does it improve the quality?

Edited in the links above but all the videos I've watched say the camera really needs ND filters to allow a better picture. I got the ones with polarization as well to be able to deal with reflections better.
