So I fully understand that i should not expect much sympathy on this subject at this moment in time, however, after spending roughly $1600 on a P4P a few years back and less 25 total flights, life’s curveballs began. Nothing we all don’t go through (and not all bad) just normally not one after the other, and another. Anyhow, the P4P took a backseat. Living life in its case.. The 2 times it was transported, from sold home to newly built home, always in the case. I removed it a couple of times to update firmware as well. Well today, having never forgotten that $1600 marvel….I finally get to a place where everything else can wait or go away. L.ol. “I am putting this bird back in the air.” WRONG. Battery bricked, controller stuck on 2 blinking dots. And , as ALL of you were already aware, as soon as I type DJI Phant…..s.o.b.!!!
Support Ended. Literally devastated. And absolutely disgusted. Yes I have now gone through and made note of all the various fixes for the battery and the controller, And I realize if I could get those going, I could still use the drone, Assuming I’m willing to fork out another $200 or so for a damn remote ID whatever box. And also yes, I totally understand that this was 5 or 6+ years ago. But for about three months and $1600 I literally had the best consumer drone that money could buy on the planet earth. Today I literally have nothing. Like plastic in a Styrofoam box Is what I have. And then the icing on the cake, Ironically, the one thing I wasn’t shocked by, to place myself back up at that level of drone ownership today on the DJI store, Would require a $2200-$3000 slap of the ol plastic on the counter. And trust me here guys, As someone who owns literally One or more of every single product category Apple produces (nix the VR thing. LoL) in either is current iteration, or the one previous…. with many previous generation devices in the original boxes in a closet …as well as .TV from simple 1080p LCDs to 4K LEDs to 4K QLEDs, I completely understand the Concept of the electronics cycle…..HOWEVER, each and every one of those devices I just named, Without exception, Still operate today in some capacity, And over 3/4 of them cost nowhere near $1600.
I apologize for the rant, As I said, in the beginning, I realize this is not new, and I am probably not alone.
But I am simply disgusted. I gave away my DJI Osmo Mobile about 20 minutes ago,….without any hesitation or regret. By far One of the coolest products I’ve ever owned, unfortunately, made by a company I simply am afraid I no longer wish to be associated with. Thanks for the platform to say as much.
