This video will show you some steps you can take to make sure your aircraft flies safely and reliably. 1. Checking the gimbal. Check if the vibration absorbing board is mounted properly. If not gimbal land camera stability may be affected. 3 anti-drop hooks are located at the front left, front right and rear of the gimbal. Ensure the vibration absorbing board is mounted to all 3 of the hooks before takeoff. 2. Checking the frame. The Mavic’s foldable design makes it portable and convenient. But please make sure to not do the following things: do not power on the motors while the aircraft’s arms are folded. Do not conduct compass calibration while the aircraft’s arms are folded. The aircraft may fly unstably if it’s powered on while the arms are folded. It’s recommended to unfold the arms first then power on the aircraft. For your own safety, do not hand launch the Mavic or throw the Mavic and start the motors in the air. Make sure to only launch the Mavic from level ground.
