Just read this post. If you have care refresh then send it in but ask for a "repair cost" do not accept refresh usage. If it is on warranty they will fix it for free. They will give you an estimate for a repair if it is necessary and since nothing is wrong with your drone except something...

MAC - My apologies to the original intent for this thread but company needs a response. To: PhantomRain person, Let’s clarify something and not get petty. I read a reply that discussed someone having an issue with the props hitting your foam material. Someone said that the accusation needed...

Here are some facts. All insurance companies can access ANY and ALL claims made no matter who or what the insurance company is or was. I believe the records are kept for 7 years. So if you have insurance with "x" company and insurance with "y" company and have 2 claims in less than 3 years you...

Sir, I am only replying since you referenced me. Yes I purchased these reflectors from them. No the issue did not happen over water. I do not fly aggressively over water. This happened over land with no added accessories added to the drone except for the reflectors. You make too many...

Hey this might help. I fly very aggressively in sport mode. In my case, I have reflectors attached to the front housing they are 1/64" thick. My props hit the reflectors as shown on the attached photo on both sides. My drone is a Mavic Pro Platinum. Props are OEM DJI props.

MAC You asked for pilots with actual device experience but unfortunately you seem to be getting a lot of responses from bloviating people. That is too bad. Here is my recommendation based on my actual experience. The product I use is a drone life preserver from drone-retriever.com Fight...

Sorry for your loss..... I fly with a drone life preserver.... check out drone-retriever.com Their unit has worked for me. Also they have excellent info and now they have a video on what to do after a water crash.

Hey sorry to hear about your situation. If you get another drone you may want to consider a drone life-preserver. Check out drone-retriever.com they have a product which I use. They also have excellent insight into what to do after a water crash.

Check out drone-retriever.com for insights into how to clean and dry a drone after a water event. They now have a video that will help.

Get several Eachine E58 drones they cost less than $35 from Bangood.com. Great drone for teaching and learning to fly.

Hey for next time check out drone-retriever.com.

Check your phone or tablet that is running the flight app. If your phone time or date is incorrect as well as your "phone's" compass calibration is incorrect it will cause issues.

Hey this might help. Several weeks ago I purchased these and since I fly "recreational" I can use the same FAA # on all my drones. They are a water slide decal that is custom made. They give you a bunch as well as decal numbers for your batteries. The site is drone-retriever.com

Check out their website. They now have a video showing a drone crashing and how the unit works as well as how to clean and dry it.

The short answer is how long do you want your batteries to last prior to them swelling and you have to replace them. If you want the most life cycles out of your batteries let them cool down. Your battery is made up of 3 or 4 internal batteries connected in series. Although the case may feel...
