    Battery Maintenance & Boat Launching

    Another great tip and one I'd probably not thought of. Thank you very much.

    Battery Maintenance & Boat Launching

    Thank you for the advice, I'm not sure how to update the RTH option but point taken and I'll have to remember not to RTH. That's the exact reason I'm sending the PS3 (I'll shed less tears than watching my MA sink). I'll happily post any good footage but the only chance would be of humpbacks, if...

    Battery Maintenance & Boat Launching

    Thank you very much. That's exactly the kind of advice I was looking for and needed. Have a great weekend!

    Battery Maintenance & Boat Launching

    Aloha Pilots, First, I just want to say thank you and tell you how awestruck I am with the level of knowledge you people exhibit and share with others every day. Apple throws the term "Genius" around way too much but you people in my eyes anyway really are DJI Geniuses! I live on the Big...

    Need references on DJI Drone Service

    I was having issues with my MA and seeking advice on this forum started chatting with Steve from DJI Drone Service. 1st, he advised me that the main board I'd got on ebay might not have been the "new" part it was advertised as. That ended up netting me a $200. refund I never would've known...

    Buy or repair, please advise

    I'm definitely interested. Not sure what bt stands for. maybe battery? if that's the case, I have batteries, props, controller and charger. lmk if any less without those. plus, I'm really slow in some ways and don't know how to pm on this site. can you point me in the right direction. thanks

    Buy or repair, please advise

    I know the process as I've done it now numerous times (tho apparently not successfully). The only thing I have emotional attachment to is $. Pending how DJI responds, I'm interested in the used one for $400. What is the condition, age and hours logged flying?

    Buy or repair, please advise

    Yes, I informed them that all 3 were new and they are quoting me replacing all 3. After I installed them the only errors I had were an esc error and a camera error code 3 which I was told was related to the esc error. I know the the IMU was working because I could calibrate it successfully. I...

    Buy or repair, please advise

    as I don't need battery or controller I can get a "drone only" and I've seen them on ebay as low as $425. in refurb condition. Which makes your point even more valid. thanks

    Buy or repair, please advise

    I was unable to get my MA back flying when I replaced both boards and the IMU (I know now I shouldn't have even tried). So back with DJI and they want $388. to replace same 3 items. It seems like I could get a "drone only" Mavic Air for not much more than that and would then have the original...

    Mavic Air Controller Data Error and IMU calibration issue

    I don't know how I missed this thread but going through same deal and error codes. Sent to DJI, they also said I needed a new core board and invoice was over $350! I had them send it back and got a new core board on ebay. Installed it and still have same error messages. Son of a *****, DJI had...

    Thank You DJI! New Mavic for $100

    I know they often send out new or refurbs but $102. seems low for Mavic repairs, what was actually wrong with the unit sent in?

    How long shall a Mavic Air, Mavic Pro, Or Mavic 2 Last? Without any Crash of course!

    my PS3 is 3 + yrs old and still flies like new . My Mavic Air is a whole nuther story. Had it for just over a year but had a total of 9 flights that probably had total flight time of less than an hour. all flights were in the most ideal conditions and it was babied, never so much as a bump or...

    8 pin cable attaching damping plate to aircraft?

    Oh, that's why it's so funky looking inside. I'm beyond frustrated now. Just spent half a day tearing it down and putting it back together. Nothing out of place or loose, pristine inside and out yet the same error messages appear. I can only assume maybe a faulty chip that went bad or...
