    Propellers hard to install

    Are you sure you are buying/getting OEM props? Knockoffs could be the issue. Package should have a cardboard peg board holder attached to the plastic bag and DJI should be stamped into the blade.

    Regulations CANDA as of July 2017

    I see the need to inform and teach people about how to properly use our flying camera platforms, with reasonably restrictions to protect the greater good. This proposed law is far too onerous and restrictive as laid out. You are quite thourogh in the Document you posted, so I imagine your...

    Regulations CANDA as of July 2017

    Complete rubbish and knee jerk reaction to a "perceived" issue! Only the left wing wing nannies could come up with such controlling, ignorant set of regulations! INCREDIBLE !!! Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways <vomit> Canada Gazette – Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations...

    Dji repair sent back wrong drone?

    I don't know about the U.S. or.... but in Canada "Independant Authorized DJI Repair Facilities" do not do warranty work for DJI. Having said that if I needed a part I'd go to my local authorized repair shop and buy it from them. Some how I doubt they would have just a fan and one would need to...

    Dji repair sent back wrong drone?

    Sorry to hear about your issues with DJI. I got a chuckle out of this post as it was so reminiscent of my recent experience with my P3P. :( I'm a couple years older have sent hundreds of items in for warranty repair (gadget nut & computer store owner). I can honestly say my experience with DJI...

    8 Mistakes that can lead to disaster

    Although some people can shutdown with CSC there is plenty of evidence one should not use CSC to shutdown a P3 when on the ground. So if you have a P3x don't bother trying to shut off your craft using CSC when all you have to do is hold down one stick, which makes it a non issue.

    DJI is keeping my drone

    Received a refurbished unit back to replace mine that had cracks around the motor mounts. Mentioned to them the camera was rarely horizontal since the day I bought it. Forgot the camera warranty was only for 6 months so I got charged $260 to repair the camera that never worked properly (lesson...

    DJI is keeping my drone

    You could try the online support chat feature, that's how I FINALLY got mine back. In my case it took six weeks from the date they received it to the date I got the shipped email! Several emails to support yielded a lot of sorry's but no visible action, phone calls where a huge waste of time as...

    Well I just joined the "Stress Crack" club :(

    Who knows warranty work with DJI is a crap shoot as well, seven weeks and my P3P is STILL not in my hands.Although it is shipped as of Fri. I used to hear how bad their service is, and now I know for myself just how bad it really is!

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    Thanks for posting your reply, will make sure I use the link you supplied to voice my opinion. I hope every UAV owner in Canada will take the time to input to the process. It's the only way we are going to be heard and once law, it will be tough to change !

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    This new law is far too onerous, confusing and in some cases ridiculous! Education and resonable requirements are the real ticket to success. Just for clarification last years Transport Canada guideline indicated a 30m minimum lateral distance from people, structures or buildings. (4.2 (g))...

    Litchi Folks, I Need Your Help

    @Paul A Byers, if you post the mission your having trouble with maybe someone can spot something. Seems to me I've had this problem before and ended up adding a couple more waypoints for the trip home and then it worked.

    Flight list log missing

    Experienced a similar problem when I accidently updated the Android Go app and then rolled back. Had this event happen a few times. The new log would show up and I'd sync it with the cloud. When I would roll back the vr. of the Go app those flights would no longer show up in the DJI Go app. But...

    Cannot connect to Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (2016) T-819 9.7"

    The forum has many threads on the subject. Bottom line I've had good success downgrading the DJI Go app to v2.8.3, quad firmwareat 1.9.6( or 1.8.8) with controller at 1.6 . She works like a champ all the time with that config. Any DJI Go app above that will result in video connection issues and...

    High Speed P3P

    Now that is too frikin cool! What a great tool!! Had no idea you could overlay the dataset onto the video like that. How do you manage to sync up the video/data streams so well? If that wasn't your personal best speed what is it?
