    DJI Gogles

    I had the exact same problem. I use progressive lenses, and my reading prescription is approx. 1.75. I took the goggles with me to my local pharmacy and tried on the cheap readers and found that I could use 3.25 readers and the screen is crisp and clear. $20 fixed the problem. Who knew? Hope...

    Phantom 4 Pro Controller Issues

    I'm enbarrassed to say that I've owned 3 drones for over a year and still have a question. When I go to fire up my Phantom 4 Pro and after I've started the DJI GO 4 App and the drone, I notice a red "No Signal" message at the top of my controller screen. I've re-linked the controller with the...

    DJI Customer Service- It just keeps getting worse!

    Thank you for your thoughts. I wish I had known about your company as I went to Amazon, who has provided me with many examples of reliability, to get my new Mavic.

    DJI Customer Service- It just keeps getting worse!

    I contacted DJI this morning as I had not received any update on the delivery. Through the chatline I was able to find out, from a Tech Support person, that the delivery was scheduled for March 13-18. Hearing it from the horse's mouth is good enough for me. As I mentioned previously, this is the...

    I thought I'd experienced Frustration before, but.....

    Hi AerialZ- You're absolutely correct- I previously had a Phantom 4 (still do) and it was absolutely trouble-free. It's an incredible piece of technology. Yes, I got one of the first Phantom 4 Pro units and I sent it back for replacement. I do realize that a brand new model is going to have...

    I thought I'd experienced Frustration before, but.....

    Thank you for your very kind response. I love my Phantom 4 and I know that eventually I will feel the same way about my 4 Pro. I have recommended DJI drones to as number of friends and my recommendations have led to the purchase of a number of drones by them. As wonderful as they are however has...

    Noise Question

    I hate to admit it, but they're both about the same noise level. Now, I'll go one step beyond and tell you I just got hearing aids. Oh well! Thanks for your response, though.

    Noise Question

    Thank you for your reply. I have a Phantom 4 and love it. I just noticed yesterday when i first flew my new 4 Pro that it just sounded a lot louder than the 4. I need to get it out today and look further into it. It just souded louder and had more metallic noise like from the motors themselves...
