    So let me tell you a story...a Phantom story.

    Well, because of all the issues I had with buying a good P4P I'm happy to say I have been flying my new Typhoon H w/RS and very much enjoying it! It's a very cool and stable system from my experience so far and glad I ended up with it. My Mavic is solid and always a blast to fly too. So I'm good...

    So let me tell you a story...a Phantom story.

    Well...I know DJI can make a good product. I have owned a few Inspires too. T601's ran fine no issues, Mavic Pro runs fine no issues so I know they can do it. So far from my experience with Phantoms they seem to be all over the place with quality issues and stress cracks. If I were DJI VIP I...

    Yeah I really wish I would have just kept that very first one I bought off Amazon. It was the from DJI store and refurb was like new aside from missing a couple caps on the legs. It probably would have worked fine too. Like AirMan said its probably the universe against me.

    New P4P issues

    Yeah, like I said in my other thread...I'm holding off for now as the Phantoms seem to be a crap shoot to buy a good one. I myself lost a lot of respect for Amazon regarding what they are putting me through with the incident 1 on the other thread. Although I have purchased many things from them...

    So let me tell you a story...a Phantom story.

    I did decide to hold off on a Phantom for now...I'll let this streak end. I'll keep an eye on DJI online reviews and later maybe try it again. Everything sent back and credited except for the very first Amazon refurb I purchased and returned. Still waiting for the bank to give me a decision on...

    Yeah I agree buy from authorized dealers and factory new. As I did and now that one is going back today as its defective. But yeah no harm. Its all good. As long as get what I'm paying for and it works I'm happy. Sure seems like I'm going through a knot hole to get there though.

    New P4P issues

    Well, the seller just provided me a return label for my defective P4P. I'm sure you guys think I'm wacky at this point but I agreed to try another factory sealed unit. If this one goes south I'm done with Phantoms. Maybe one of you guys out here in AZ would let me fly yours as I will not be...

    So let me tell you a story...a Phantom story.

    Well...I can tell you being retail store manager for 12 years in the day there are unused open box items out there. Ask me how I know...but you are correct that when an item has a factory seal broke it is no longer a factory new sealed unit. In the case of a drone has it been flown or activated...

    New P4P issues

    Purchased from a dealer on Ebay... Came factory sealed! On the phone this morning with DJI and the guy could not figure it out either, said to return it or send it in. I tried different cables, FW updates and refreshes on the AC & RC...just not working, Should have known somethings up when the...

    So let me tell you a story...a Phantom story.

    Or an idiot, like I have been feeling lately. Been on the phone with DJI this morning trying to get my P4P to link up...even though he kept calling it my Phantom 3 Plus we could not get RC talk to the AC. So he wanted me to download the RC FW from the support site and I did but its only a .bin...
