If his analogy were correct. Like with General Foods. They still are market leaders, just a different name: Kraft General Foods. Circuit City wanted to be the market leader but never were. That title has always belonged to Best Buy. RCA was a leader in the 40's and 50's but have been out of the game so long, I'm surprised you used their name. Compaq was nothing more than a clone...they led the cheap market and their computers failed at a substantially higher rate than the true 'leader'.
So what's the point? The point is that I never said nor implied that who was king today might not be tomorrow. Look at Britain's PM as an example. The DJI mindset is one of innovation and continuing support. Then people come in and say "hey, I was using your product with an app you did not design to go with it and I crashed. I want you to take care of the problem and fix it for free".
Let me try to explain this another way that maybe you'll all understand better:
Guardmy6 is bitching that DJI has screwed him because he was using a 3rd party app. All of a sudden people come out from the woodwork to crucify DJI. Everyone agrees DJI is at fault for the crash, even though the entire scenario was being controlled by an app not of their (DJI) design.
Why did you buy the Litchi app? So you could make the P3 do things the DJI GO app doesn't have/support. So, in essence, you are having the P3 do what it wasn't designed to do, regardless of an app that attempts to circumvent what was designed into the machine and original (DJI GO) app.
You pushed the machine beyond it's design limits and now you want DJI to pay for your f-up. You used the P3 inconsistent with the design parameters, regardless of what anyone else claims they do, YOU are the one at fault for using the P3 NOT as it was intended when it was sold to you.
I hope that clarifies things for the members here, because I sure can't explain it any more clearly. Use 3rd party apps/products at your own risk. Plain and simple and really...is common sense.
Drone on...oh wait...sorry.
