    DJI care is no longer worth it.

    This is from the for what it's worth department. I bought an m30t which cost me around $14,000. Two months into owning it during a search and rescue operation, it ended up in the drink. Submerged in about 15 ft of brackish water. Two weeks later I had a diver go down and get it and it was...

    Well it finally happened to me.

    I often do the same; pack up and go somewhere else. But recently, I was so fed up with this that I called the police. When they showed up, the guy was yelling and threatening me and the cops got to witness that. This time, when they asked if I wanted to press charges (for assault, not...

    Drone for inventories

    The Mavic Zoom might be an option since it has an optical zoom that would make reading the codes from distance a little better.

    What causes a "Navigation error"?

    I had that happen on my m30t recently. Ended up taking off on its own flipping over a couple times and dropping into a 15 ft deep canal. DJI said that it was pilot error.

    Two weeks underwater, 3 rescue attempts.. A long story of drowned drone and determination..

    My experience wasn't quite as dramatic, but landing my m30 t on the deck of a boat, it must have mistaken the wet deck for water and tried to launch off again, flipped upside down and went into a 15 ft alligator infested canal. It took 3 weeks before I could get a diver out to locate it and...

    REMOTE ID FOR DRONES NOT BE ENFORCED ON DRONE MAKERS UNTIL DECEMBER 16, 2022

    Pilot Error Or Drone Malfunction?

    Will do. I appreciate your input. I got an email from DJI this morning that their engineers are going to be reviewing the data. I sure hope that this will be covered under the care plan cuz I can't afford to buy another one.

    Pilot Error Or Drone Malfunction?

    I got this error immediately before it started acting wonky and went into the drink: "aircraft antenna satellite signal searching error. Fly with caution". I have no idea what that means.

    Pilot Error Or Drone Malfunction?

    What exactly is a yaw error? I'm wondering if this is why my m30 suddenly tipped to the side and then flipped over as it was landing.
