So, exactly what is it you're hoping for? A very candid statement from DJI that yes, there was a problem together with a straightforward description of what to do to fix it ... assuming it can be done with a software fix. Or, assuming Snapdragon's post today is correct and DJI have just changed and restarted the manufacturing process of the gimbals due to all the problems people have been having, are you hoping for an offer from DJI to replace your unused gimbal with one of the retooled ones?
My new upgrade board should be shipped out today ... ordered it Friday night ... so, it should be here in a week or so ... and that means I'm going to be faced with the same decision. The Phantom is working fine right now ... except, of course, any video I shoot is totally crappy ... so,will I do the install and hope for the best, do the install and contact the dealer if a problem arises, or, like you, wait for DJI to weigh in on this? Tough one. But, I would imagine I will do the install. If I wait too long, my dealer may not want to replace it should anything go wrong.
