Just added Pgytech Payload Drop System to the bundle:

I recently had 5 Mavic batteries replaced under an unofficial extended warranty. The batteries were manufactured in the fall of 2018, and apparently there was an issue with them. All 5 swelled up, and DJI replaced them. They were about 2-1/2 years old (since date of purchase) when I contacted...

Yes, you can switch to manual control of the AC. Sorry but I can't remember how it did it. I only used manual control when I was concerned that DD wasn't returning to home for a new battery early enough. I took over control, landed, swapped in a new battery, and it easily resume the mission...

I have a similar problem as the OP and use a similar method as quoted above. I keep 2 sets of 2 batteries and charge 2 every 10 days. The 2 that get charged alternate. This way each pair of batteries gets at least a little rest below the full charge. Yes, batteries are cycled about 18 times a...

Remotepilot101 was all I used. Passed with 3 wrong answers. Easy to understand and they seem to add content as new information comes along (like odd test questions). I believe they offer the guarantee too. Lifetime access included, which is good because I need to renew my license soon. For any...

This is an interesting comment, and one I would have agreed with before I started with DJI Drones. I've pulled batteries out of the case and they've been strangely warm. I attribute this to them going into self-discharge after the preset time (10 days for me). Even though they discharge slowly...

I used them on a P4 gimbal arm repair. They replaced the gimbal arm (instead of trying to sell me an entire gimbal assembly as some others tried to do). Decent communications and no subsequent issues with the repair.

Not to hijack this thread but there are clearly some experienced people here that might know the facts. I own a P4P+, which I bought used. It didn't come with DJI Care. Can a used, working, drone get DJI Care? I've heard it both ways, but haven't found any links/forms to apply for it. Thanks.

I fly for a fire department so I don't have the option of advance warning a day or even an hour before the drone is needed. Is there a way to maintain a certain level of partial charge? For example, I'd be happy to be able to maintain a known charge range (such as between 80% and 90%) in some...

There has to be a better way to keep up with batteries than what I've been doing. I have the self-discharge set for 10 days. After 10 days, the battery starts to discharge, and I can put it on charge to bring it back up. If I forget or I'm delayed, then I have batteries that don't have a full...

I'm not sure if it's the same scam, but for the one I saw (same kit, $400) the seller's story (not in town, had to put it on ebay, etc.) eventually leads you to a VERY slick copy of an ebay listing where you can "buy it now" for $400. I knew it was a scam from the start ($400 was the immediate...

I've just found something called a Mustang Rescue Stick. It's intended as a self-inflating throw device, weighs just under 16 oz, and presents a very small area to the wind. Yes, we may not be able to get it out there, and it may fail. This doesn't replace a rescue boat, which we will still be...

As part of our Fire Department's water rescue capability, I have the need to be able to drop a flotation device (life jacket, boat cushion, etc.) to someone in the river. I know I can't be the first person to look at this problem. I already have the Pgytech payload release device, but i'm...
