    Where can I buy DJI repair parts in Canada?

    Most Authorized DJI Repair Centers are not allowed to sell Repair parts to customers. However if you are set on doing so ensure that the parts are official DJI parts. Third party parts can void the drones warranty and potentially cause more damage. *Commercial links removed by Moderator*

    Prop Guards

    If you are using name brand DJI Prop Guards they will not cause any added damage to your drone. They do add touch bit more weight which could lower the battery life by a small bit though.

    Software Specific to Construction Industry

    We always recommend Drone Deploy or Pix4D for our clients. Drone Deploy is more user-friendly, while Pix4D gives you more customization and freedom, though this platform is better for those with more mapping experience. DJI's free GroundStation Pro app is also a great app for flight planning...
