I used to EASILY get 5-6km range with MP; I'm luckly to get 500m to 1km now. DJI definitely has buggered their software to restrict range...there can be no other explanation imo.

Would be nice to be able to drop the drone from height and have the props allow an 'auto-rotation' like you can do on helis and emergency land these suckers the 'pro' way (use the potential energy to reverse turn the props to gain last second lift) :) then parachutes wouldn't be a necessity for...

Thunderdrones...I see you repair drones - that's great. Do you know anyone like you that does this in Western Canada? I see you fly helis too; me too, I've got a brand new 450 never flown it and at least $3000 in spare parts for it ready to go :) Repairing drones must be a walk in the park...

UPDATE: Well what do you know...the first logical reply I've received from DJI. Looks like YOU CAN DEFINITELY transfer your Care Refresh to a newly purchased new Mavic (or similar) so long as the original product was returned to the store (does not have to be DJI's own DJI Direct).... quote...

Agreed- DJI is the only valid interpreter- 'it would be crazy for their policy to not be understood this way' would have been better to say than "must ALSO apply". I was just using pure logic...you are so right about DJI being irrational and confused. Great product I agree (no one else is...

Agreed: DJI's terms and FAQ's on this topic (and many others) are riddled with unclear statements and often misleading. I will add a different twist to your interpretation of "So, according to DJI, if your Mavic "flew away," you can bind the existing contract to a different Mavic. This might...

Q: If I purchase the DJI Care Refresh (Canada) and activate it for a new Mavic, and then return the Mavic to a store for refund , will DJI refund me my care Refesh? Or If I later buy (say 1 month later) a brand new Mavic can I transfer the Care Refresh to this new Mavic? In other words if...

Oh- forgot to ask: can you point me to any details of your case? PM me a file or 2? Not interested in anything confidential of course, I thought I'd ask just to see if there is any detail that may help; if not I understand. What I'd be looking for is some US-based DJI employee's contact info...

I hear ya. I'm in Canada so it is a bit different and my strategy is likely to shift to a simple civil case and not class action. Agreed re 'conversation'...I consider legal issues as just a 'higher form of communication"...it's really just a way to do business nowadays when one party refuses...

You are correct here Chip No worries, I'm just experiencing some of your "well known members" to have some sort of god-complex here in these forums...so I was just concerned it was a cultural-thing with Mavic Pilots (my first few posts in MP was met by some lunatic that accused me of having...

Not sure I understand what your are saying here???? Did I say something wrong?

Thanks, I agree with that position...that most people say these things to blow smoke. I personally didn't think my statement was a juvenile "gonna take you to court" thing. I'm not some 14yr old hobbyist either who's upset in a lost toy :) I've extensive experience in this area, and am...

You think that YOUR opinion 'solved it'. LOL. The facts don't need to be believed by you, you should just respect that you disagree with my data and evidence and don't assume you're right (incl. being overly judgmental and insert your own facts or perceptions.) when you've taken little time...

No bark, I'm all bite :). You could be right about my success chances but you must not be aware of the several class actions that have already been initiated. I prefer to just deal with DJI fairly and move on, but they are not being fair at all, in fact quite ignorant. I'll only try a civil...

Hi! I have a similar issue with DJI. I am in Canada and will be initiating a Civil Lawsuit here and then registering the judgement with DJI in their jurisdiction. Can you point me to any updates on your suit? Q: Does DJI have any corporate office in the USA? I'm sure you know this...
