I was foolish enough to purchase anew DJI Vision 2+ drone a couple of years ago and have just discovered that I wasted $1200. Why wasted you ask? Last year after only a little use I put the drone away with the battery removed as recommended. This year I get the drone out and surprise no...

DJI customer service is indeed lacking. I finally got them to give me an RMA for my copter as I had the problem with the ESC boards not being the right version for the motors and my altitude reading was always 100 feet to high. After sending the copter to them at my cost it took them over 7...

One time I had a freeze when the copter was a ways out and reported Control Signal Lost but the video came back when the copter got closer. The 3 freezes in question all happened when the copter was relatively close - one time it was still on the ground with the props spinning BUT the video...

@Kaehn That being said the video HAS frozen on me 3 times and didn't come back until I exited the application and re-established communication with the copter.

Thanks for the answer! The first one you mention is the one that gets bad reviews for breaking apart after just bumping into something. I have ordered a set of the Bestem Aerial snap on guards and will give them a try!

Well for the 2nd time my DJI prop guards saved my butt for me but this time one of the guards broke - probably fortunately as it cushioned the fall when the copter landed square on the outer edge - errant tree branch 10 feet off the ground! I remember reading a thread on here about a company...

Thanks for the update - I tried to get them to pay for the return but the tech told me he can't print out prepaid labels to countries other than the US. Hate to lose the copter just when we get some good flying weather but don't have much choice!

Camera Freeze Up? This has happened to me 3 times now using the Vision Plus app. When flying in GPS mode and recording video the screen will suddenly freeze - sometimes it digitizes sometimes not BUT I cannot get the video back. The application seems also to have frozen but I cannot confirm...

I contacted DJI support and they told me that my problem requires that I return the copter to California for evaluation/repair. Spoke to the guy in CA and he clearly understood the problem and my concern and issued my an RMA to return it. It's unfortunate that I will have to pay the shipping...

Talk about timely! I went flying yesterday and grabbed 12 minutes of pretty good video. When I got home the file showed as an .MP4 but couldn't be played by Quick Time of VLC. Your program worked perfectly - converted it to h264 and now it plays just fine on VLC.

Now I am really nervous - I have just checked my Vision 2+ V3 copter (purchased in Dec 2014) and it appears that all of my capacitors are blue. Previously after reading a similar thread I wrote to DJI support and advised them of what had been written - there response was that this was 3rd party...

Agreed - it takes somewhere around 80-90 minutes to charge a battery that has been depleted to around 10% of capacity. Well if the issue is a dual problem - battery quality/charger quality then I will have to keep looking for better batteries and a better charger obviously - can't afford to...

Well they certainly aren't "low priced" - not from DJI anyway. It will be interesting to see if anyone who has bought the LimeFuel batteries reports better luck with battery life! I wonder if that charger that does 4 batteries at a time properly charges the batteries - if you read the article...

Aha! Knew there had to be a reason - it was reporting safe to fly Non GPS so that might be the reason it reported ATTI. Wasn't too worried about the MCU error - not with a battery that was as depleted as that! Thanks for the response - looking forward to flying it for real when the weather...

I have seen many posters comment that they are finding their batteries are becoming unreliable after 30 or 40 flights. This does not seem to make a lot of sense since according to most Li-on manufacturers the batteries should be good for ~200 cycles or so. I found this interesting article on...
