Ok, so DJI have fobbed me of with an untrue analysis that has been diverted to show that it is not covered under their warranty - I owned a DJI Phantom 4 - I took it out walking for the first time I noticed it starting to drift, I pressed Return to Home, the Phantom 4 Slowed down Turned and moved forwards towards me, told me that the forward sensor had stopped working and then disconnected from the controller never to be seen again. DJI Gave two Points that showed the Phantom 4 Drifting and concluded that it was blown away - NO DJI THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!
no mention of the facts as I stated above, I have the Flight Log To Prove it and everything the Phantom 4 is supposed to do just didn't happen.
1) return to home - - That didnt happen.
2) Nearly 5000m Range - 1480m @ 208m Height - well within advertised capabilities - did I mention that I was in the middle of nowhere so no signal interference
3) smart return to home, means that it will avoid obstacles in its path - hows that supposed to work if the fault shows that they stopped working.
4) Speed capabilities 45 miles Per Hour - That means that it can handle 45 miles per hour winds again well within its advertised capabilities.
The analysis showed that from one point to another with no movement of the controller that it was moving and as such it was blown away - do not fly in strong winds is in the warranty, but what constitutes strong wind?? there was nearly no wind when i set it off, it hit some wind whilst in the air but nothing that it was not able to
cope with.
I have read that this is not out of the ordinary for DJI - One guy had it where his drone (with witnesses) dropped from the sky, but because it landed in water DJI do not cover for water damage, so not covered under warranty.
I AM JUST SO ******* FRUSTRATED!!!! I Will be paying for the Finance for this drone, because I wanted to buy the best - for the next 2 years - I now have nothing to show for it! and alls I get from DJI is sorry but **** You!!!! - We will just make up an analysis so we don't have to do anything.
I Cant escalate my issue as there is no escalation procedure, any further contact goes back to DJI support who did the analysis.
