    Phantom 4 build quality.

    Thanks guys for all the responses. Its all good. In the room where I opened the box the lighting wasn't that great and it looked a lot worse than it really is. I agree, I should have purchased from Amazon or some other store, DJI customer service is the worst !!!!!!

    Phantom 4 build quality.

    Haven't taken her out yet. Spent the afternoon dealing with this cosmetic issue. I'll probably leave it as is. To me its a greater risk sending it in and getting something worse ... In better light it looks much better !

    Phantom 4 build quality.

    I'm reluctant to ship back a brand new drone and have them ship me some crappy refurbished replacement !

    Phantom 4 build quality.

    Here are two more pics from a different angle. The drone was purchased directly from DJI and I called tech support earlier and they are willing to exchange it but the process will take 2 weeks !!!!!

    Phantom 4 build quality.

    I received my P4 today and I'm generally happy with the build quality except for where the grey underbody meets the glossy white shell. See attached picture. It's seems that a little more effort and care could have been taken to ensure a seamless joint. Do they all look like this ? Thanks...

    Phantom Remote

    Great news ! I have been re-linking the remote and using it with both of my P3Ps so I'm familiar with the process. I jut wasn't sure if the Phantom 4 remote will work with the Phantom 3. Thank you !

    Phantom Remote

    I suffered a crash a while ago and I ended up purchasing a new P2P from DJI at a discounted price. I was able to replace my camera on my crashed phantom and it works great now. I am upgrading to the Phantom 4, my plan is to sell the new P3P package with my remote and keep the crashed one...

    My P3P crashed, DJI not cooperating

    A quick update for everyone .... Its been 6 weeks since the unfortunate crash of my Phantom. After pages and pages of one way communication with DJI, I finally received an email from a manager this week who responded to my questions. He was kind enough to explain to me the basis of their...

    My P3P crashed, DJI not cooperating

    To be honest, I haven't decided yet. It's not about the money at this point. Their lousy offer is worthless to me because I can easily get a new P3P on sale with the remote and charger for not a whole lot more. My current Phantom still works fine, I can replace the camera for around $350 and...

    My P3P crashed, DJI not cooperating

    Agreed. That was for sure my biggest mistake. Lesson learned.....

    My P3P crashed, DJI not cooperating

    I was using an iPad Air2 LTE with full GPS and Internet access. When I replay the flight on the iPad DJIGO app, I can see my location updated at certain intervals. Yet another mystery why the home point didn't update during the flight. I am a relatively new operator but I did my due diligence...

    My P3P crashed, DJI not cooperating

    Thanks Mike. Your assessments have always been very fair and impartial and I appreciate your input. I wasn't expecting a full warranty replacement as I also made mistakes. What I find most annoying is DJI's position that the altitude numbers in their flight logs are 100% accurate despite...

    My P3P crashed, DJI not cooperating

    Did u miss the entire part of this thread where it's abundantly clear that the Phantom calculated the wrong altitude? The reported altitude at the time of impact was off by over 40 feet. This was certainly a contributing factor in the crash. As I've said before, I did make mistakes, however...
