Interesting thread. Couple of points. Many of us waited 9-10 weeks up front, got them and love them. Hang tight and wait. It is worth it.
As for Trust and Integrity, we are upset about a concept that does not necessarily map between our cultures and values of DJI. I lived in China for four years, speak Mandarin and did my MBA thesis on US companies doing business in China and can tell you flat out that (in their mind) the concept of lying or deceit is not as vile as it is to other cultures. The deception really began from the initial launch. They took 100% money up front, no problem doing that, have made thousands of us hang on to get a chat, chatted with a robot and always received useless information etc. The email that drove many of us to buy or buy another (like me) stating 5-7 days was simply a strategy to boost more sales (hey, they are brilliant as a company...) and it did.
Bottom line is you have to find peace in the whole 'lying and deceit' aspect of this deal because here are the bright spots
1- the thing is way under priced for what you get
2- it is a beautiful machine in design and operation (yes, some issues but tens of thousands are flying)
3- the tech support, return, repair and RMA side of the company seems to be right up there
4-it is a toy and we can all live without it so find peace and wait for your turn to have fun
5-see number 1
Now, if we overpaid, waited for an eternity and received a piece of crap.....THAT would be something to pile on about !
I moaned and complained like all others for my first one but within 2 minutes of hearing that first power up beep, I had forgiven DJI and moved on to figuring out how much fun I was going to have with this thing !
