After having my Drone for about two weeks, on my 9th flight, my Phantom 2 (w/ H3-3D gimbal/goPro 3+) lost all power. It was at about 50' and I could see that the LED's fully shut off. It flipped upside down by the time it crashed to the concrete below, cracking one of the arms, ruining the motors and doing a pretty good number to the gimbal. Fortunately, I got great video of it taking place and I know for a fact that I didn't do the down to the inside power down sequence.
I contacted the dealer that I got it from and they have the video and are working with DJI on getting me a replacement but I am becoming pessimistic as it has been about two weeks. I ordered it through Amazon and with an Am Ex who has dispute resolution. I bet Amazon would possibly take care of it but wanted to see what the dealer could do first. If not, I know Am Ex would handle it but that would probably take a little work.
Has anyone else had any luck with replacement of a faulty Phantom from DJI? If so, how long did the process take? Any recommendations?
