Do all dji drones suck ?

[Wayassfasterthanyou]

Mavic has been nothing but crap !!

Constant updates keep me from flying and now gimble motor error after update !!!

I am selling it .

My parrot bebop always works

Are the phantoms Any good or are they problematic like the mavic ?

None of my DJI drones have sucked or been "crap".
Phantom 2 Vision +, Phantom 3 Professional, Mavic Pro, Spark - all good

have you tried to refresh firmware? I did an update and I lost downward sensors. it wanted me to calibrate them ...but went I tried I didn't get any output from them ( no red box) I re-flashed firmware and I got the red box back

No problems her either...my best flier

No problems here either. I had a Bebop 2 Power prior to buying my MP, and had it not been for the limitations of the camera, I probably would have just stayed with it. In some ways it was more fun to fly, especially with the banked turns in its sport mode, but in every other category the Mavic is all business. The portability of the form factor is a big plus as well, also not a fan of how Parrot “locks” the props onto the motors.

You’re doing it wrong.

 

[Wayassfasterthanyou]

My mavic has let me down on 2 winter holidays, been in for repair for camera not working after 2 flights and now gimble error ..

In Costa Rica it said it needed update and would not fly without it!!

I have flown it 5 times at home and it was great .

Just too fragile and too many software bugs .

 

[Wayassfasterthanyou]

You’re doing it wrong.

Icon says update now .
I click it ...

 

[Wayassfasterthanyou]

Why all the updates ??

I shoot video for a couple companies and try take my mavic but you get to your shoot and it needed an update so you scramble to find a connection ..

My parrot worked out of the box , it did say I can check for updates but it still flew .

Dji requires a registered account and updates or it sits .

Or am I wrong ?

So that is the best reply??

Typical dgi fans ..

Thanks for the help

UHHHM....... Yeah, I think you're wrong. No "update needed" ever keeps you from flying that I have seen.

I think you need to Re-do whatever updates, with a solid connection to the DJI server. NOT through the free WiFi at a coffee shop, or on a "rooted" 3rd word android device, or 5 year old phone or tablet of any kind. Update EVERYTHING not JUST what you think you have to do to fly..

 

[Wayassfasterthanyou]

Everything is charged and I am at home with a 10mb connection.

Not asking for updates now just gimble error .

Next step ?

have you? tried this?

 

[ac0j]

Yes, turn everything off, reconnect to DJI assist, reflash, and try again.
Ever had a hard landing or crash?

 

[Wayassfasterthanyou]

have you? tried this?

Where do I find this option ?
