    HELP! DJI Care Refresh ($99) vs. DJI Care Refresh + ($79)??

    Nevermind. Same thing, "plus" is just the year extension to the original plan (costs $79, with replacement costing an additional $79). You can get 1 replacement during the plus extension.

    HELP! DJI Care Refresh ($99) vs. DJI Care Refresh + ($79)??

    Hey all, I apologize if this has been asked - I did a quick search, forgive me if I missed it. What is the difference between DJI Care Refresh and Refresh +? I just qualified to get "DJI Care Refresh +" after my "DJI care refresh" expired several months ago, but I don't know what I am...

    "Battery Error" - "Over Current Discharge" Warnings in Flight!

    Mine wasn't in sport mode, had only been flying for about 3 minutes. I will keep an eye on the battery. Not sure what you mean by being in a down draft and not realizing it. But it just was hovering when it got the error, then then next error came and it started falling. It was pretty calm...

    "Battery Error" - "Over Current Discharge" Warnings in Flight!

    Ok - Follow up. Just contacted DJI. My warranty and DJI care just expired last month. So they aren't going to provide any support without charge. Guess I will wait and see if it happens again. I see a ton of reports of this issue online - I'm surprised that it is acceptable.

    "Battery Error" - "Over Current Discharge" Warnings in Flight!

    Just happened to me. Foggy this morning. 33 degrees F (but I've flown in much colder). Took it out @ max altitude (120m) not very far, only a couple minutes and came back because I couldn't see anything. Stopped somewhere above me, circling in place (trying to figure out how to get closer to...

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    Bumping this thread hoping someone will view the footage in post 19 above (2 up), @ 7:12 and 9:50 to see if this is normal or if I should send it in again for warranty repair. Thank you for taking the time to watch and help me out!

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    Here is my video. If you aren't inclined to watch the entire video, check out starting @ the 7:12 mark (outside hovering) and 9:50 (inside hovering), and let me know if this is typical movement that should be expected. Thank you to everyone for your feedback!

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    I'm not sure what this means...(N number?) I have made a video. Before making a fool of myself, I am out to check and see if the 'movement' is normal (within normal tolerances). I've read elsewhere that the mavic does drift on hovering (vertically and horizontally). I have noticed a few...

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    Kind of buried, but in my first post I indicated that it is a different Serial Number. There isn't a question - it is definitely a different drone. The question is why did they send me another broken drone? I emailed them, and asked them about it (specifically asked if they sent me a broken...

    Emirates accept drones as checked-in baggage only

    Funny this is brought up here as I have been researching the exact same thing in the last few days, and decided against bringing my drone to the Maldives via Dubai for my upcoming trip. The UAE is very strict with drones, and operating one near Dubai is asking for trouble (because of the...

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    I will try another IMU calibration. I have done 4 of them now, but those were only after the first 4 firmware upgrades. Maybe this last one where it identifies as a Phantom 4, the IMU calibration will make it work properly. Ahhh... well that makes more sense than it did before. Still wonder...

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    Just took it into the garage to get video with 'no breeze'. Start up and yet again, it wants me to update firmware due to 'inconsistent firmwares. Swipe to update' (Again, this is about the 4th or 5th time) So I do, and it says "Phantom 4 Updating". So along with the hovering issue, this is...

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    Probably so. I ordered it from Newegg and had been waiting for months for it - it showed up and I saw that it had a video issue on the first flight (it was cold out), but but didn't really notice it was an problem until it became cold again. I thought maybe it was just a firmware issue (or...

    Did DJI just swap my broken drone with someone elses broken drone?

    Hey all, Quick back story - sent my mavic in a month ago for really bad video (brand new out of box - warranty repair). They sent it back saying it was fixed and tested. Thing is, it is a completely different drone (different SN#). When I got it it showed a bunch of errors: firmware...
