    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    My gimbal and camera were destroyed as a result of the malfunction. Without that it is worthless to me. To fix that is $800. I will not pay that knowing that the aircraft is capable of a catastrophic failure while at significant altitude through no fault of mine.

    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    DJI has been very unresponsive. I would give their customer service an F. My next move will have to be to the media. I have a compelling story they will eat up.

    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    Hello Phantom Board! One more FYI - not a single word from DJI about my warranty claim. This Customer Service has not impressed me one bit.

    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    No it has been drying out since Saturday, I want to make sure before I turn it on. With the gimbal and camera destroyed I will not pay $800 to replace those on this aircraft knowing it is capable of falling from the sky for no apparent reason.

    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    I brought it in to my authorized dealer (Hobby Action, Tempe AZ - they are awesome) The gimbel and gimble ribbon are destroyed and we are making a warranty claim with DJI as the aircraft was purchased less than 2-months ago and it was clearly a mechanical, electrical or software malfunction...

    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    Thanks. I used a blow dryer on low for about 20 minutes. I can't remove the shell because I do t seem to have an Allen wrench that tiny for the outermost screws. I will have to take it to the hobby shop tomorrow and see what they say. I am so tempted to power it up, but know that is a poor...

    DJI Phantom 2V+ CRASH INTO POOL!

    Oh my. I was flying my DJIP2V+ around my back yard and it literally fell from the sky like a rock from 100' right onto a roof and then into a pool. The crash knocked the battery out of the unit and lost two propellers during the ordeal. Otherwise the vehicle looks pretty good. My...

    Looking for drone operator in Santa Barbara tomorrow

    You could not get paid for the drone flying or photos, but one could get paid for photography consultation and simply give the photos/video away for free. Or better yet, if you know an ancient Chinese cave Shaman you might be able to sell magical blessed paper clips for $250 each as a separate...
