It is not certain that a resolution of this matter could take years. There could be a mass return-to-sender order that would enable DJI to refund those who never got their drone in weeks or months, rather than years

Grandpa advised that I steer clear of religion and politics as discussion topics to preserve my natural dentition, so I'm choosing my words with extreme care here, BUT, the prevailing winds are blowing in the direction of a growing vendetta against DJI that could lead to an outright blanket ban...

I started a thread in this forum a couple of days ago about my perception that used DJI drones of Mavic 2 Pro vintage and newer are gradually appreciating in price on eBay, and are certainly not depreciating as they generally did over the past few years before the current climate of political...

I have four Phantom 3 Standard batteries, and I am going to take a closer look at them now, thanks to this cautionary note you have kindly posted here, Gadget Guy. Over the years, I did wind up throwing out three of the same P3S batteries, along with a couple of Mavic 1 Pro batteries as well...

Haha I'm too far gone. No intervention can save me now. Making sure all the batteries and RC controllers don't drop below 50% battery charge level is a full time job, yet I can't bear the thought of selling any of my toys. If there is any justice in this world, DJI should award me with a...

It is reassuring to make the acquaintance of a fellow drone hoarder. I don't feel like such an outcast now haha.

Thus far, my hangar of DJI drones includes two Mavic 2 Pros, a Mavic 2 Zoom, a Mavic Pro Platinum, two Mavic 1 Pros, two DJI Air 1s, a Mini 3, an Air 3, two Phantom 3 Standards, and a Phantom 3 Pro, all bought used on eBay, yet I still track the current prices of used DJI drones on eBay to see...

This is a very concerning report because I own ten older DJI drones as well as a newer Air 3, and all but the Air 3 are fitted with non-DJI batteries from Ali Express. I need to pay closer attention to battery voltages during and after each flight. Thanks, Agtek, for this detailed analysis.

I have long dreamed of flying my drones from the comfort of my living room, but I am not sure how long the cable can be before signal strength is reduced to an unusable level. May I ask how high your antenna is above your house? Also, did you have to use in-line amplifiers to boost the control...

My grandpa told me once that the best way to maintain perfect dentition for life is to refrain from discussing religion or politics.

My understanding is that DJI's long-standing policy has always limited their warranty coverage to the country where the drone was originally purchased. I gleaned this from a couple of posts earlier in this discussion.

DJI wouldn't disable the Mavic 4 Pro on US soil. They probably support the idea of Americans buying their DJI Pro4 in other countries and flying back home with them, as a walk-around solution to the tarriff war's uncertainty.

Sounds like you have the expertise to construct a battery that will work as a replacement for stock DJI batteries. If you ever get to the point of creating a plug-and-play replacement battery that also offers longer range, I will be one of the first to buy and try that design, given the...

I was going to throw in a few pointers on how to beat the house at the Blackjack table when next you visit "Vegas, but now something tells me you might not take such advice to heart haha. On serious note I have been delighted with my five previously bought Alli Express extra-range battersies...

I am glad to learn from you that Ali Express does have a facility to accommodate customer complaints. I did search the website for a means to communicate with the seller of those two batteries for my Mavic 2 Po that arrived inoperable, and whose combined cost was over $400, but I was unable to...
