I would love to say that I'm happy to provide the public service but the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was "ugh, I have to deal with that P4 again today" which I am sick of in a way I can't even describe. I'm definitely not getting another one and I'm annoyed I have to even go to the store.
All I'm saying is Apple got in bed with the wrong people although they are flying off the shelves. From a business stand point they are doing great with the P4. Howevr, if you are not in the know, you might keep this definitely broken gimbal and it would fly fine for 3-6 months or less and then bam, gimbal overload and you have to RMA it. Bump that. There is a guy on the DJI website that had to go THROUGH 6 BEFORE he got one that was in good working order.
As an early adopter, I have patience for error but this is beyond and again, the worst roll out in the history of anything that I've watched roll out and was a part of. If DJI survives this, I'll be amazed. I don't know they can unless they keep their people that could actually help locked up. If they will let me open it at the store (they didn't yesterday, he said just bring it back if it doesn't work) and I asked him and said "there is a decent chance there is something wrong with this and I'll bring it back, are you sure you want to let me exchange it" so at this point I'm not demanding anything, I'm going to embarrassingly go back to Apple and tell them and show them (NOBODY AT APPLE) knows anything about the P4. Yesterday as I was showing the guy what was wrong with the other one before the exchange, there were like 7 Apple employees watching and asking questions about the Phantom that would be asked by someone that saw a prosumer UAS for the first time ever.
I'm thinking they made some decisions about selling the P4 based on the end run of the P3X.
Although again, he told me they come in and go out daily and aside from iphone is the best seller in the store. Not sure how I feel about that comment.
