The biggest drawback of only owning DJI is that alot of DJI owners haven't experienced lipo care. There is nothing different about the DJI batteries then any other lipo other then the rip off price. The smart battery discharge is actually pretty dumb. All Lipos should be stored at 3.80 volts...

I took this yesterday with my Zoom. Unfortunately battery died before I could make it home.

Ive gotten nearly 5 miles with my SC and Zoom. AT that range the video began to get a little pixelated and choppy. This was out in the desert under ideal conditions. Ive flown 2 miles in my residential area. Still desert so flat terrain, no tall building, able to maintain line of sight. Im...

Ive had it happen 2x in flight. Mavic 2 Zoom along with SC. The screen will freeze and go to grey scale. A pop up message appears saying that video signal has been lost. IN both cases it happened mid flight but at very close range. first time about 50 yards away and 2nd time about 20 feet...

So the same has happened to me. Its not very often but it has happened and happened again to me yesterday. I was flying off of an area called Mogion Rim. Basically launch and fly 20 feet ahead of you and its a 1500 ft drop off. Just before going over the edge I got the greyscale frozen...

after all the problems they've had with mavic 2 batteries they are well aware. They are also well aware of the tolerance of the DJI following who will blindly except and continue to purchase replacement batteries. At $115.00 a piece for Air2 batteries they are a cash cow for DJI so from there...

well i dont know what you think is incased that $130.00 pretty shell but its a $35.00 LIPO. so its all relevant. They should not swell, puff, grow, shrink permanently or temporarily at any time. And 3.82V is where all lipos should be stored at. The OP states his battery doesnt sit flat on a...

well thats good to know but if when you tell them your battery is slightly puffed and they tell you "Its Normal" then they may as well warentee them for 1000 cycles. Since there not acknowledging the problem anyway.

i have been flying RC for a living for 10 years. I literally have nearly 1000 lipos in my garage and fly sets of 24 batteries in one aircraft daily. I use high quality 4, 5, and 6s batteries in everything I fly, usually try to buy HRB brand battery as they are a bargain price for an awesome...

DJIs reply to this that its normal for slight swelling is BS. BOBEC231 is absolutely right. I dont know if DJI is out sourcing there batteries but if so they need to find a better supplier. If DJI is producing there own batteries then the suck at it and its time start out sourcing. In any...

I just hope that when the update for support of the SC with Air2 is released that DJI offers the Air2 as a stand alone purchase. I neither need nor want the controller that comes with the Air2 but I do want to have an Air2 to keep my Zoom company. I purchased the Zoom bundled with the SC...

Thats what makes DJI refresh the worst choice, you have to have the drone to send them. If you have the drone and it needs repairs you are still covered with Statefarm for the cost of repairs but if you loose the Drone Statefarm replaces it. In what world is DJI Refresh even considered in this...

Ah, thats cool, i like the idea of being able to fly with the cover over the camera when needed.

The DJI thing is a total rip and they will scrutinize your log file. Its still a large deductible even if they find it was the drones fault and you have to have the drone. Why anyone would go for that is beyond me. I dont know about Asurian but Statefarm covers everything for $60.00 a year and...

So Just curious, with the MP is the cover just a cover and not a gimbal lock?
