These are the issues I have come across in my travels through this board (with my issues being first):
1. Gimbal not quite level - no fix yet, must return to distributor.
2. 3.0 & 3.2 software seems to cause degraded flight stability stability. - no fix other than dowgrading firmware.
3. No video - multiple reports of camera issues and app issues. - no fix yet, must return to distributor.
4. Loose connections inside Phantom. Open it up, check them and fix with silicone.
5. Transmitter bricking on update - no fix yet.
6. Flyaways - even experienced pilots are having them. Plenty of precautions, no explanations.
It reminds me of a 100 other must-have toys from my youth- seemed really cool, sometimes even was for a while, then it just broke. For $1369, this should be reliable, easy to repair with surplus parts available, and excellent, fast customer support and service. It is NOT reliable, it has few surplus parts available, and poor customer service/support. This has to be the coolest, most exciting hobby I've gotten into in a long while, but I am spooked. DJI... not quite ready for prime time, baby. I own a Phantom FC40 and a P2V+, I will not purchase another DJI product, unless some things change.
