    Broken gimbal protector lug

    Mine did the same thing. Poor quality for that part. I tried to super glue it...failed. Then I solved the problem...rubber band.

    First crash

    I was asked by some friends if I could use my drone to photograph the damaged cross which rest atop a small bell tower. I thought this might be fun and so drove down to the church, set up my drone and landing pad and started up the process....or so I tried. Turned out it needed a firmware...

    short Cable for iPad mini

    Problems paying at DJI with Credit Card?

    I tried twice with my Capital One Venture card. I then called them and they said they automatically reject orders of that size from China. I looked up the parent company and then Cap 1 allowed the charge and it went right through. I am actually glad they are on top of things like this.
