Good advice Gerry, I did not know that.
I would send #2 back in. If you can cancel it on your credit card do that and immediately order another one. Call into support a half hour before they open so they will talk to you first. I did this over the phone when my first PV2+ arrived with a bad motor. DJI did not mind because 6 months ago were having a hard time getting parts so I am sure my was gutted for the camera and ribbon.
Here are some thoughts:
PV2+ #1 Send it into USdronerepair on facebook for the repair, great guy, great price!
PV2+ #2 Take a tachometer to the motors to see if they are all healthy. I have a better GPS antenna on order as well, and I have more on order for some friends. I do not need the one I have on order as my stock one works fine for now until I film again. If you want mine to avoid the lead time let me know and I will test it and send it to you. If you are planing to fly more than a few times a month in unfamiliar places you REALLY NEED to do this mod.
Foil the GPS antenna. Dont buy the foil sheets from ebay as they are way too big, add too much weight and do not protect the leads. Get the real copper tape and protect that with Kapton tape. Remember you are shielding the GPS antenna and its leads from the DJI itself and not the other way around so use only as much as you really need.
I feel you pain and have had three flyaways on two different PV's from a location I was working on and we had to shoot. I never want to see any Phantom turn it's back on me again. The first one took seven days to find.
I am putting together a care package for a few pilot friends, PM me if you are interested in one.
I have new foil, tape, GPS antenna, tac, and the 7th channel upgrade on order. I am ordering a few of these so PM me and I will set you up. |
