    Faulty DJI replacement Parts

    Faulty replacement parts. Got a new Original GPS module for my Mavic Pro. Waste of money. I ended up soldering the wires back on the old one. It works again. The new one is completely dead. Taking it back tomorrow.

    No more updates for Mavic Pro?

    I finally found out that a geosys update caused the firmware in my drone to get confused. No more updates yahooo.

    My drone went bonkers

    Another comment. The drone was reversing. I pushed full throttle to try and slow down the rate of movement. I will check the drone later for any video footage.

    My drone went bonkers

    It makes no sense to me either. I was moving the stick but the drone did not do anything in response. It was moving backwards at a weird titled angle. The flying time was just over a minute. So while yes I was moving the stick trying to get it to moving away from me it did not respond at all. I...

    Nothing pointless about it. I have uploaded the file.

    My drone went bonkers

    True, however I have lived in that area for years. From an open piece of ground to I saw this area being built over 30 years ago. There was nothing but a field back then and a piece of tarred road now. Having flow this area for 3 months, what happened today was completely out of the ordinary...

    My drone went bonkers

    I have flown in this area many times, never an issue. Having magnetic interference issues all of a sudden is quite impossible. I will download and update the records.

    My drone went bonkers

    So I guess that someone on the group will tell me that this is my fault, but here goes. Take off. Compass error on phone, exit GPS. Hmm RC shows GPS connectivity... Go figure the two don't speak. Land. Take off. ATTI mode again. Flying slowly the drone goes bonkers and flies off backwards. Does...

    Lost Mavic after loss of connection

    1. DJI will blame this on pilot error. 2. MP2 or MP, I have had an issue with the RC loosing connection while watching the drone from no less than 20 meters. RTH actually worked, but most definitely not to the settings i had set. The drone flew straight to the location and landed. If there...

    Anyone experience gimbal reset mid-flight?

    I have also experienced Gimbal resets. 3 one day, a fourth which resulted in a crash the following. There is no clear solution to this issue, you cannot get any type of support from DJI as they have a no care attitude. Since the crash I have bought another Gimbal / camera assembly, but I don't...

    DJI REFUSE TO HONOR WARRANTY PART 2

    Agreed. They are just out to take our money selling an inferior quality product. We buy and have to live with the ****. DJI are portraying themselves as the best when they are far from it.

    DJI REFUSE TO HONOR WARRANTY PART 2

    I have found that trying to get any kind of help from DJI NO Support is a complete waste of time. I had a RC failure with the drone no more than 20 meters away. After a firmware upgrade. It did a RTH but even that was badly performed by the drone. Poor coding or what have you. I reported this...

    Anyone experience gimbal reset mid-flight?

    Hi, I have been reading numerous posts about Gimbal resets. I had 3 in a short place of time on the 21st Sep, with a 4th on the 22 which resulted in me crashing into a tree (loss of video feed). Gimbal destroyed, complete assembly had to be replaced. Right rear motor arm also replaced. Since...

    Gimbal failure (x4) - causes crash - fighting with DJI to get this resolved

    Having worked with many professionals such as yourself I can understand the frustration you have gone through. It as if they have a no care attitude when dealing with customers. Granted I could have done things differently and not flown after the defective Gimbal failed three times, but to...
