The last time I sent my bird in for a repair DJI sent me a different repaired unit. Will I be required to update or create a new registration every time this happens?

Yeah, I tried turning it off twice but it wouldn't shut down so in a panic I decided to pull the battery.

So yesterday I tried to land on a small stool and the bird tipped and started going crazy. I then grabbed one of the legs so it would hit anything else while the motors were still going. Because it went into Atti mode, the only I knew how to shut the aircraft down at that time was to remove the...

Thanks! That did the trick. It was never in my bag but now it's going to stay there permanently.

My bird side a glassdoor today on landing attempt on a balcony (reckless me) and three of the propeller broke. They are somehow super tight now (probably due to impact) and I can get them out with my bare hands. Any removal tips or techniques you guys have? Thanks in advanced.

Just got my bird back from repair today and noticed at the firmware on it says 1.4.10. I don't remember what it said before I sent in.

FWIW on my 3rd flight on the 1.4.001 firmware my bird fell from the sky unexpectedly. Still waiting for analysis from DJI, which should be arriving tomorrow. I suspect that one of the motors stopped working mid flight. Not saying it was firmware related. I had so much fun on the 1.3.20 firmware...

Did DJI tell you that one motor stopped in flight or did you know that at the time of the indecent? Also, I heard from DJI today via email that they had finished by repaired. I also got a FedEx notification saying mine would arrive back home on Friday. So that will make it exactly two weeks for...

Agreed. People with perfect birds have nothing to really talk about when they do what they are expected to do as advertised.

Quick update. I sent mine in last week. DJI acknowledge receipt earlier this week with a repair tracking number. Today I went in to check (just for giggles) and the assessment was already done and the unit already being repaired free of charge. It's nice that DJI isn't charging me for it, but I...

Sorry brother! Mine crashed almost two weeks ago with no warning either. DJI said send it in.

Video editing? Definitely no. If you want the most bang for your back, build a hackintosh. You can build a decent video editing machine for $600.

Personal articles policy would definitely cover. Not sure about homeowner.

Well, I gave it another shot anyway but it still would not connect. The iOS kept saying "RC connected. Connect the aircraft". It powers up but is probably unable to initialize successfully. Only LEDs on the left side of the aircraft blinks. The other two on the right just don't work at all.

I'll posting photos when the result back from DJI, which hopefully a few weeks from now. Let's just say it's pretty beat up. I can power it on but the RC will not connect so I can't check if motors are still spinning. Also, I don't see any sign of it being hit. All I heard was the props...
