I've been thinking about the issues of our P2V+s falling out of the sky, fly-aways, sudden loss of control, early battery failure (swelling/non-charging), firmware (3.06) upgrade problems, gps fluctuations, etc.
As a newbie, with only 8 flights, this really has me concerned.
Losing a $1500+ hobby investment gives one pause to question whether this is the equipment to rely upon.
Fortunately, to this point, I've not experienced any of the above symptoms, and sure don't want to!
Curiously enough, I've not seen (perhaps I don't know where to look) any 'official' responses from DJI related to these problems.
I have read conjecture and experiential anecdotes here on the forum, but again, no DJI response to validate, rebut, or offer suggestions to test/prevent these issues.
I'm seriously considering returning this equipment before I experience a tradgedy that prevents me from recouping my money. A pity, because this thing is a blast to fly and produces some really nice aerial photos and video.
For the investment we have all made in our hobby, and DJI, I believe it is incumbent upon DJI to regularly and often report back to our community of users on the SOLUTIONS (or problems) they have discovered from returned units. A pro-active approach on DJI's part would go a long way with many folks to quell the fear of losing equipment in a disaster. Perhaps DJI can also share mods, revisions, or required hardware upgrades recommended for more reliable operations.
BTW: I DO NOT point the blame at DJI for ALL the issues. I DO admonish them for not providing documented SOLUTIONs to these issues, or at least narrative to instruct US how to address these issues.
Anyone have some DJI FACTS or documented responses from DJI concerning these issues?
