Re: Another one bites the dust -UPDATE- found it!! - Page 5
DBS, ****...... I read in my thread yesteray this happened to you. Sorry for not getting in here sooner but I'm totally bummed you also experienced this. This is not right to happen this time of the year. I actually have stuff I ordered for flying in cold air winter in shipment now. It will suck when it arrives.
I'm ready to go the extra mile to figure some of this out. I would rather we try to keep all technical stuff in one thread, whether it be in mine, yours, or a new one, but regardless in one thread. How do you feel about that? I tried to pay attention to each one of your post in this thread up to this point of my post here. And I cannot see any blame towards you in the failure. Those wires are not easy to break. I wanted to test before I posted, and I just took one of mine that the wire was pulled out of the solder with a chuck of solder still attached, and I folded the wire 3 times 90 degrees to each side and it didn't break. So this is using a wire that has been associated with heat and as I say the wire is melted into the chuck that stayed on it. Had you went against some kind of installation recommendations, then it maybe a different story. There needs to things in place such as, use this type of soldering iron at these settings, use this brand of solder for best results, never fly in temps below x degrees, do this after hard landings, and so on... That is just not the case here. And if they coming off the production line having the same issues, there is something seriously wrong and the customer should never have to eat the negligence of the factory. Ask General Motors on customers eating their faults.
So my quad is worse then yours, but I do think the camera/gimbal on mine would be a easy fix. It doesn't show any bad signs other then a small bolt hole. Everything moves freely with it. I know I could be wasting my time, but I really feel like DJI is responsible for what has taken place. Btw, I had both my flight logger recording data and I just posted images showing just before it rolled to the right side and dropped from the sky. Anyhow, let me know your feeling on the technical data. And again I'm sorry you also had to go through this.
