Not at all. Too unstable. Wound up getting a Crystal Sky. Now I have a smart controller.

The dates to look out for are Aug-Sept 2018. DJI replaced three batteries that swelled from those dates for me. They only ha 40-50 charges on them. Was a bad batch.

Hell yeah they are!! I spent $600 for new ones waiting for replacements from DJI. Can't have the bird grounded now can we ??!! Good news is now I have seven, I think I'm good now.

Here are two battery examples. One is swelled (bottom), one is brand new. The battery gets worse when charging/flying due to heat. DJI replaced all three of my swelled batteries manufactured Aug 2018 free of charge. They were a year and a half old. So, if DJI knows about the issue warranty...

Nope. Sticking with my M2P for now.

Looks like the controller is an issue for CrystalSky.

I can help with that subject. There was reportedly a bad batch of batteries produced in Aug 2018. I had three of them. They all swelled after 40-60 charges. I contacted DJI with serial numbers and pics. After a month or so they replaced all three free of charge. Apparently they are aware of the...

Awesome job !!!! Myself, I've been flying my M2P since Sept 2018. So far no incidents. A couple of close calls with wires and birds but I fly conservatively. Do my pre-flight and hover before heading out. No incidents with my Skydio 2 either. However I have crashed my Typhoon twice. Once was a...

I had a bad experience flying low over water. Was checking out an old wooden wreck on the river. I got down really close, less than 20'. The drone started to act weird and started losing elevation quickly. I had to hit the stick up fast to get out of there. Ever since then I won't go below 25'...

Just happened to me. DJI got back to me today as follows. Dear Customer, This message is from DJI Support. After testing your product, DJI has determined to provide you with free repair service. The repair is expected to be finished within 3 to 6 business days, after which the product will be...

Interesting. So no hands on. BTW. They all wobble badly. Wonder if they'll replace ?? Or give credit.

DJI sent me a case number today for the swelled batteries. It says under evaluation. 1-3 days for response. They did not ask to return the batteries yet. How do they evaluate without the damaged units ?? Do they know something from the serial numbers ???

Will do !!!

Speaking of swelling batteries. I have 4 of them. A repair ticket is created with DJI and they're going back shortly for inspection. All from 2018. I had my M2P land with one battery clip up. I was lucky. Those batteries got retired quick. Have since bought 4 new ones. Hopefully DJI will replace...

Ebay has them $130-$135. Just search.
