Since this thread has spiraled into the realm "what the heck??" I'd like to just place this here, and i'll gracefully bow out.
Edison started this post and listed 10 different threads of people that have had problems after updating to .0400.
The VERY FIRST thing that Hallmark did was come to the defense of the company, and the state that the problems really aren't that bad.
Then Watchberger (albeit with much more tact) said the same thing.Listen, I've got no problem with DJI as a company. And I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone here does. I think we want to see more accountability and transparency. And that is ultimately what this post was initially about. Wanting DJI to own their mess.
Both of you are entitled to your opinions, but how does refuting that a problem exists help those pilots that ARE ACTUALLY HAVING ISSUES? - EDIT: Watchberger started out about finding root cause and solution, so i must give credit for that.
You both point out that many pilots are not having issues. and nobody disagrees with that. Does that negate the fact that a problem exists?
Just because it is fixable in some instances, doesn't mean that a problem isn't real, or serious.
I troubleshoot technical stuff for a living. I like to think i'm pretty good at it, and I like to think that I know a few things about electronics. And one thing that I have learned is that as hard as you try to make a standard, there will be variances. The ghost in the machine lives. Firmware comes in and moves the ghosts furniture, and sometimes, he doesn't like it.
A wise man once said to me "Without truth, or proof, perception is reality."
Hallmark has repeatedly asked for proof of statements made. I respectfully ask this. Can anyone here (not just hallmark) prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the firmware update DID NOT cause my problems? The answer is no. So my reality is that the firmware caused my problems. After a few weeks, i was able to fix mine. Other pilots are not so lucky. So guys, CHILL. A problem is a problem. Folks come here for solutions, not to watch a bunch of grown a$$ men argue. --self included-- (well, actually, when you step back, and grab the popcorn, it's kinda funny, but still)
We are all here because we have 1 thing in common. We all own DJI Mavics. No matter which flavor, we are all pilots. Where did the respect go? Tounges in bungs? Come on!!
EDIT 2: I told hallmark, and i'll say it publicly to watchberger. I respect your opinion. both of you have obviously been flying for much longer than I have, however, in this instance we don't agree.
