Thanks. Dang, those are pricey! Hopefully good quality. I just got an air3S but am doing some maintenance/parts stocking for the air 2 to put it away as a backup.

I’ve received so many counterfeit/fake items from eBay that I don’t use it anymore, more fakes than real.

I just talked to dji and they confirmed end of support/production for Mavic Air 2 parts and accessories. So does anyone have a recommendation on a good brand of aftermarket props or batteries? Seems like do many Chinese knock off brands on Amazon and no way to sort the good from the bad!

Might be because things are hectic with customs etc, but the air 3S I received a couple days ago was not bound to the controller, I had to manually bind and activate both, then activate care refresh. Drone shipped from Malaysia but remote was domestic.

I got a call from DJI customer support a couple hours ago letting me know the domestic shipment with the accessories is out for deliver again today (I missed it yesterday). Had a nice conversation with the guy who had a Chinese accent but communicated well in English. I specifically asked if...

For anyone curious, I ordered an Air 3S from DJI store last Friday, it shipped Saturday out of Malaysia, with stops in China, Japan and South Korea along the way before landing in Anchorage where it cleared customs less than an hour after the plane landed. Delivered yesterday, no mess, no fuss...

Purely speculation here, but I think local agencies might be expecting some big federal grant $ to replace their DJI models if they are in fact banned. And they’ll probably get them too. The federal government won’t want to be seen as crippling LE but since they’re the ones that “took them away”...

Have a farm out in a rural area, gated, nowhere for them to leave it. I had it routed to a local Walgreens which has a FedEx center where it’s waiting for me now.

I would think customs would be more concerned with the country of origin than a 2 hour stop it made along its journey. The commodity information on the customs declaration I see on the FedEx website lists the country of manufacture as Malaysia, not China, so that might have something to do with...

Haha, maybe! It had quite an interesting route to get there! Shipped from Malaysia, to China, Osaka Japan then Seoul South Korea before making its way to anchorage! That does sound like some Underground Railroad stuff! 😂 My guess is it’ll fly from Memphis to Orlando, then trucked to Tampa.

I was shocked when an air 3s I ordered on Friday cleared customs less than an hour after the plane landed in anchorage yesterday. I had resigned myself to settle in for the long haul and expected weeks. It’s currently cruising at FL33- probably the highest it will ever be again in its life- on...

I see some older posts but nothing very recent…. Anyone made a purchase from DJI store since beginning of June? Any issues with either customs holds or unexpected tariff bills? Saw DJI US say they were working with CBP on the holds and FedEx/UPS on the unexpected bills a month or so ago, just...

It’s probably more like 30 days than 12. There will be 60 units total and they will arrive 2-3 at a time. We’re hoping for 2 at a time, that means more transports and more money! Haha. The delivery schedule calls for one per month for the next 36 months, starting late spring next year. We are...

It sounds like I need to ask for a couple volunteers from our admin staff and get get certified. I’m sure we’ll have several raise their hands. I’d love to do it myself but as the PM I’ll be otherwise occupied. Though I think I will get my 107 just to have it in case I need to step in at some...

Thanks for the feedback y’all. In summary, our job is to receive some very large, very heavy items and transport them to their final destination. These are prefabricated power plant parts, each with a length of over 250 feet weighing over 200 tons. We will transport 60 units over the next few...
