Hi all, I feel I need to share this issue on this forum, as I have communicated with other owners of this popular remote release device who have had this issue and tried to resolve it with the manufacturer (without success) and have ended up throwing the whole lot in the trash in dismay.
I have owned the FliFli dropper for about six months and used it every weekend for drone fishing, it has been very effective and I have been very pleased with the 1km range and DJI user intuitive design.
However, a few weeks ago the remote would not complete the activation procedure, regardless of resetting or synchronising process being done.
I was then informed by another frustrated FliFli owner who experienced the same issue that if you keep the remote plugged in to a power source it operates fine, to my surprised this worked! I used the dropper for a couple of weeks coupled to a powerbank (believing that the Li-ion battery in the remote must be faulty or expired) without issue.
It was only once the powerbank accidentally became detached, that I discovered that the remote worked fine so long as the charging cable alone was attached! This suggests that perhaps the inductive load created by the cable is enough to keep the remote awake?????
Anyway, the battery holds fine and the system works well so long as the charging cable is attached to the remote!!
Hope this is helpful to other FliFli owners experiencing this annoying fault.
Cheers
