I figured I'd upgrade at some point...

I bought a Phantom Pro 3 in March, and had a ball with it for two weeks and then it threw an ESC error and I had to send it into DJI for warranty service. Of course, I hit them just as they moved which apparently caused all sorts of chaos over there. I've been without my phantom for a month now and really missed flying.

I spent the last month reading this forum as well as Phantom Pilots, and got lots of great tips to further my education. I couldn't wait to get flying again. So this weekend I did what any irrational glutton for punishment would do... I bought a Mavic Pro Fly-More kit. It showed up today and I went for a quick flight but it's too windy for me to go too far. So far I'm as impressed as I expected to be! Hopefully I won't ever need to send this one in to suffer DJI's terrible 'service'.

My name is BorisTheSpider, and I've been using DJI for 2 months. I used to have a family, people liked me, etc...

When I've been dealing with DJI support and my mother asks why I've been busy, I tell her I play the piano in a brothel to spare her sense of pride.

You're a good son.

BTW, I fix Mavics and Phantoms, and I have sent many in to DJI for repair for one reason or another. I can say that DJI's repair quality is very good, but their communication skills leave alot to be desired. If you do need to send it in for service, which most dont, just be prepared to wait 4-6 weeks to get it back. But what you get back after a repair is usually ok, I have plenty of experience with that. As long as you go into it with your eyes open and are prepared to wait.

That being said, I think you made a good buying decision, and wish you happiness with your new Mavic.

Good to know that I can expect a quality repair, thanks. Of course, now that I have a new toy they can take all the time they need!
