That's a lie.
No, DJI will NOT honor your warranty if you purchase from someone not on the approved list.
Phantom 3 Standard Approved List - Phantom 3 Standard Authorized Dealers | DJI
Phantom 3 Pro/Adv. Approved List - Phantom 3 Professional & Advanced - Dealers | DJI
There are some people who are going to look for any reason to be negative, I have no reason to lie. I buy from RC Depot Hobbies at distributor prices, they are on the approved list. DJI sent me to them to buy product since I cannot purchase the volume they want to sell directly to retailers. I have been told all warrantee are good when I sell. Not sure what else I can say, but I would be careful slandering a person on a national forum jeriami...
