That is good news and certainly less hassle for you to just do the exchange. Even when you are in your own wash, it is tough to see a vibration, so when you do, there is an issue. As far as the wind, I wish I knew what the wind speed was when I flew, but as I said, common sense thought video...

Seems like you did just about everything you could to fix it. Assuming you are not flying it in VERY windy conditions, it sounds like there is a true issue. I have only seen this vibration as you state while descending, or extremely windy conditions that you shouldn't fly in anyway. I guess...

Per my testing, find my drone is quirky, but better than nothing to get you in the neighborhood. Once you get about 70' or so, the controller will not show you the correct direction, so you can only see it by changing your direction of movement while walking and looking at the distance to Karma...

At 2000 feet, this is a dot and you can't even tell the direction of the drone. Per the FAA, you are only supposed to fly line of sight, which is nowhere near 3000 meters. How far are you flying?

Per your statement of "turning around, coming back and landing hard", it sounds like this was a return to launch potentially because your battery was low (it will warn you twice, audibly and visually as well). BTW, I would also just turn your volume all the way up, who knows maybe the train was...

Multiple tests for lost connection as I also test after updates. Powering the controller off has the Karma hover a few moments, then return to my launch area. In testing this, I have also tried to bury the controller in my vehicle, in ditches out of line of sight, and even in an underground...

Maybe, but you need to understand it won't "fly away" because it loses connection; instead it will hover a moment while it tries to re-establish connection, then return either to you, or to launch as I stated (unless battery is drained, then wherever it is in flight). Interference is another...

Sorry, you have two pounds of razor blades that can take off a finger, landing it this way will at some point will prove just how bad of an idea it was; and likely the worst time while on vacation. Just do some YouTube searches and you might think twice. Really, just knowing the safety...

I think Hamish is close, if not dead on with the prop wash, though I would suspect you have other variables meaning considerable wind even low pressure. I have never experienced prop wash like this in descent and the Karma is normally pretty good. I have seen similar in very turbulent wind at...

What do you mean by "fly away". The Karma will not fly away due to a lost connection; it will either return to launch, return to you, or even land in place if you also drain the battery. You should have no issues with lost connection as long as you are within FAA restrictions, meaning line of...

Really the only sources I have found is YouTube and these forums; like you said also the DJI and others, though like anything you have to extract reality from bias. Obviously there are some very good drones out there with the Mavic leading the way, but they all have their strengths and...

Anytime you have a new technology, there will be a learning curve. Cell phones for example were highly volatile with poor coverage and features for several years. Same here, you have what is a pretty amazing product in these drones, but it is still in its infancy. As you said, all drones...

Good question and I will try and look tonight. I just had my drone out this weekend and used the Cable Cam. Generally I would set point A and B, but before setting B, would pan the direction I want, then set B. Since this update, there is no A & B, but beginning and end points. I saw nothing...

I have noticed that if my drone sits without use for 3 weeks or so, the batteries will drain to about 2/3 capacity. It only took once for me to now put all batteries on a charge a few days before I fly...

Sorry this is long, but the OP asked for a review of sorts, so here we to. I disagree with those who say the Mavic is "better". It is an apples and oranges comparison. In that regard, this is similar to a BMW vs. a pickup (I have owned both) . Sure with the BMW, it is fast, drives on rails...
