I'll be very annoyed if I don't get my drone back..... it has had next to no use... motors are pretty much new..... no scratches, marks or anything on the MA at all... brand new - it flew just 14 times... 11 of them were basically off the floor inside to head height - then land again..... only...

Ok, apparently my MA-1 is going to be shipped back to me... although I asked for the service centre to retain it and I would come collect it - if it doesn't arrive by the end of this week - I'll contact them again. However, I am told that my serial number may have changed - I hope not, for this...

Ok update..... received reply from DJI repair facility. The IMU CPU was defective... cost for replacement CPU $17.... labor $60. DJI have honored my warranty and advised that the repair will be free of charge (thank you) - flew 14 times only, most of them short 1 minute flights - all of the 14...

Ok folk, finally - after a 4 month absence up north - we are now home. I have been in touch with DJI again and told them of the issue - they repeated that I should ship the Mavic to them and have it repaired. I stated that I'd prefer to deliver it and they replied with an address. My Air has now...

Thanks again, I will phone them and tell them about us being on tour... ask them just what they want me to send back, and tell them to ship the repaired whatever to my daughter's address until our return... either way, the MA is no use to me at all on this trip and I'm annoyed beyond belief is...

Thanks for that, tried what you suggested and it did not fix the issue.... one of the infra-red lenses is not illuminating. DJI have sent me a return shipping number - I am concerned that by the time they receive it - it will be beyond warranty. We are traveling in our caravan and won't be home...

Hi folk, my MA 1 is just on 12 months old.... it has flown only 14 times - it has never crashed, been wet or failed before. After some 9 months from the last flight, I updated the software on both the Rx and Tx, re-calibrated the compass and successfully had just one 4 minute flight. Locked...

Hi, I have had my MA for just on 12 months - it has flown only four times. We are traveling and I flew the MA for the first time yesterday without any issue... shot some pix and took some video - all good. When I went to fly today, the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone screen showed that the IMU and...

Amazing place, Tassie - many go down there believing they can drive around the "island" in just one day - they soon find out that it's as big as Victoria and can't reach their booking destinations in time... very, very pretty and scenic... west coast is wild and adventurous.. it has nearly...

Welcome aboard, happy to have someone aboard from the little island.... greetings from the big one, frats, Rosco

I will put my AUS and mob numbers on my MA.... is there any place on top of the MA which should be avoided - like where the GPS antenna or compass sensor is located. I know this would only be miniscule - but there may be some metallic particles in the printing material. frats, Rosco

Thanks Ierly - I live in MEL... handy to know. frats, Rosco

Welcome aboard from a very cold Melbourne, Oz... Had my MA for about two months - flown it about half a dozen times and shot a bit of footage. I have been in R/C for some 35 years, mainly fixed wing but also a little bit in heli's and simple drones... I have an AUS reg'n number (modern version...

Ha Ha - yes, but here in Oz - we believe everyone north of the equator flies upside down... guess, there has to be a passover someplace in between....? frats, Rosco

Just the way I looked at it. I have three batteries - and they are not enough when I have a serious session. The recharge time is way longer than I would have expected - but I believe this is due to "balance" charging, which protects receptive cells from being overcharged when in unison with a...
