As with anything sent in for repairs, sometimes we don't know all the circumstances as to why it takes longer than we think it should. While all of the above posts indicate great service and turnaround time, there is always going to be that one time for someone where they didn't get their...

Rumor has it, The Mavic Pro II is the next in the drone world from DJI

I have used after market carbon fiber props since I bought the quad and have never had any issues. I have never used the original DJI props that came with it.

It is my understanding that the same registration number can be used for any unmanned aircraft you might have. You don't need a registration number for each one.

DJI does not cover Fly-aways unless they have changed their policy in the last 6 months. They usually require you to have the bird before they will cover anything. In the U.S., if you had State Farm insurance for $60/year, they would have covered the cost of your quad on a fly-away with no...

You got your package. You can blame whoever you want but neither is going to compensate you for nothing. Enjoy the quad and move on to flying instead of trying to figure out who owes you what.

I didn't think they put the safeguards on these quads so people could ignore them. To me, that's just asking for trouble. If you have everything set up right and push the right buttons, everything will work just fine but these quads can't compensate for pilot error.

I insured mine with State Farm for $60/year and no deductible. One agent I called wouldn't insure it because I didn't have my other insurance with them but this one did. I had to show receipts for everything I wanted insured but had talked to others who had insured with the same agent who said...

I changed over to carbon fiber props on my second flight and haven't gone back to the original props in over a year.

Those shell prices seem a little high. I had to send mine into DJI for repair and they charged me $3 for the upper shell and $8 for the lower shell. Of course there was labor and a bunch of other parts they replaced but it sure doesn't compare to what Amazon or eBay is selling them for. Have you...

I purchased 2 of the third party batteries and they seem to work as well as the original battery does. The only difference I have have noticed is that the lights on the top of the battery are not as green as the original. Almost like a pale green but they snap in okay and have been using them...

And then there's me who just loves flying the quad and keeping it in VLOS. Nothing more. Not out to show off or break any records.

I insured mine with State Farm. Checked with a couple of SF agents. One wouldn't insure my quad unless I had my other insurance with them but the 2nd one didn't require it. Cost me $60/year for full coverage with no deductible. Can't beat it

I use the quick disconnects (QD) on my quad along with the metal plates to reinforce the motor mount area. They gave me longer screws with the QD but they weren't long enough to use on the QD and the metal plates. I ended up drilling down into the QD the thickness of the screw head which made...
