New firmware

:cool: Good call! Generally, if you aren't nasty with the support, they aren't nasty to you. Not always of course, but 9 out of 10 times you will be helped.

Hope it doesn't take 5 weeks! But at least DJI is acknowledging this issue and willing to rectify the situation!

And I know it isn't (shouldn't be) necessary, but thanks for doing the honest thing! THAT is what will help this hobby. :cool:
 
I don't think you should go thru Amazon. It is DJI fault for the update. It worked well for 3 weeks prior. NOT Amazons fault. Deal with the manufacturer, don't be dishonest and return a used, broken drone.

I agree that it is not Amazons fault. Nor is it his fault, he didn't break the product it failed, isn't that why you would buy a product from a retailer that gives you a 30 day guarantee?

It is in Amazons Business plan, I am sure they also have an agreement with DJI. When Amazon makes there purchase's I bet they make an adjustment with DJI on all returned products.

I bought my P2V+ directly from DJI, the units FPV would work 1 out 5 tries and then quit in about 10-20 secs.

Only choice, send it in for repair, took 1 week after it had been received to be checked in, overall it was gone 7 weeks, they had it 6.

Then I lost it in the woods, I believe it is stuck it in a tree. The P3S came out about 5 days later. Wow good price I will use it to look for the lost. Only place to buy it, DJI direct, Amazon was just now getting inventory on P3 A/P's. P3S, went defective on a firmware update.

Phantom 3-Std Weak Remote Signal

Same thing, I can't return it, I have to send it in for repair.

Only had one chance to use P3S to look for the P2V+ before winter and the rains hit, one flight and I got rained out. Spent another 2 hours on foot looking in the place I wanted fly.

Hey guys. I am new to the Phantom family.

Anyways I finally updated the firmware to the latest one but unlike some of y'all I've been getting strange reports post-upgrade.

So I think it is fair to give y'all some background.

I also own an Inspire 1. It is my workhorse but anyways ever since I've been upgrading my Inspire since mid last year I've been getting these strange results post-update.

I mean these are strange upgrade results some are just off the wall but then some are just plain ludicrous.

Which I fully believed my Inspire was possessed but the demon himself and now has infected my Phantom 3 Standard.

I'll post some of the results I've been getting as since this is a Phantom board I'll be posting that first.

From my new Phantom,
