Jessops UK Orders

beachsidebaz · Nov 21, 2016

It's a strange situation that's developed here with the Mavic......I agree with trog that they (dji and stores) shouldn't be promoting a product that quite clearly has an issue being produced in the numbers needed but at the same time in a normal environment people would cancel and walk away but as Peterev says there's nothing like it and so long as companies like Jessops don't take our money then people can afford to wait! But I think back to someone saying the DJI can only produce 200 a day.....I'm thinking that might actually be true.

The CEO of DJI is a hard nosed player like many Chinese and although I'm sure he's shouting a lot at people over the Mavic supply issues I'm sure he's not losing sleep over it because he's got plenty of other products and unlike GoPro his company is still on the up so he's going to remain bullish and those still waiting will still stand in the queue......but remember DJI will price their technology to make it hard for others to get into the market so it'll be a long time for an alternative to show, if ever, so as frustrated and disappointed as I am nobody has my money yet so a patient pleb is what I need to be!

I got a call earlier too saying my mavic is now in stock and they took my card details again.

Seems there is light at the end of the tunnel....

Has yours been dispatched yet? Kind of expected mine to have gone by now.

That's a good sign... Some of the other guys had the same thing then bang, it's on your doorstep! Keep the faith! Haha

I ordered on the 10th October and am patiently waiting, but I really would like it soon, so I can play with it before a holiday I have planned.

I am going to NeC drone show and I am going to have it out with Dji on the stand. See what they have to say to my face.

that's called shooting the messenger. Do you really reckon the UK events/sales team can do anything about this situation? I think you will be spending your energy on making yourself and someone else angry, and achieve nothing

That 200 a day I posted here as it was posted on the dji forum a while back saying that someone in China has posted this info ..... I still think they are somewhere between 200 to 500 a day at the most ...

You guys will get a tracking number by tomorrow and have your drone within 24 hours from then. At least that's how it worked for me.
The weather has been atrocious so only a couple of flights in the back garden for me so far.. I'm new to the drone world and 10m seemed awfully high. Couldn't get it to RTH despite achieving 23m in height, although I preferred not to try again as the proximity of trees was too much of a risk in my lack of experience in trusting full automation, preferring to bring it back under full control. This aircraft is so easy to fly, especially knowing that if there is any risk at all, just stop your current manoeuvre and let it hover. It holds station so unbelievably well, giving you time to re-assess and check all instruments and risk assess the locale. I'm thrilled with the Mavic!

Yes but it will make me feel better that I can voice my frustrations. Nothing like having a bit of negativity at an event. It is a manufacturers nightmare. They are still representatives of DJi even if they are only the messengers. Maybe they will feedback to the mothership the concerns of their customers.
