I purchased the Inspire 1 Raw to take my business to the next level. I also got the osmo grip for it, and was very pleased with what it's capable of.
It was a huge investment in my business, the full package put me back just under $7k.
On my first software update, my osmo handle no longer worked. Easy fix, I'll just roll back the firmware right? Nope, they don't let you. After hours of trying to figure it out, I was told by their support that the only option was to send it in and have them roll it back. So, I mailed my Inpsire, X5R, and Osmo to them & they rolled the software back for me. However, when I got it back, the X5R camera and the black plastic case that it goes in, were both in Terrible condition! The only way I can describe it, is if someone was to stand on the case and slide around on concrete like it was a roller skate. I then realized, they had sent back someone elses camera, & it had a different serial number.
So, I called DJI again, and they opened a second case number and told me to send in the scratched up camera so they could send me mine back. Unfortnately, this whole process takes about a month each time, which has been a huge hit to my business! So, I send the camera back in without the drone & osmo, so that I can get mine back. I clearly explained everything that happened, and attached all conversations, case numbers, and serial numbers up to this point.
However, Instead of sending back my camera, they sent me a bill to replace parts on the scratched up camera that doesn't even belong to me!! At this point, they've stolen over $3k of my production equipment, cost me months of business, months of lost income, and don't even have the decency to respond or allow me to talk with someone.
It's now been 3 weeks since they gave me a bill for a camera that doesn't even belong to me. I've been calling & emailing every two days & they refuse to let me talk to anyone that will actually look at what's going on or give me an aswer. They keep saying "I need to talk to my manager, and they'll respond in two days". Two days later, they say the same thing again and again. If they were doing this to my Mavic that'd be one thing. However, they're doing this with a business asset that's supposed to be a part of their "professional line".
DJI has been illegally getting away with "business" like this for many years. However, if anyone else on this forum stole thousands of dollars of my production equipment, I'd have them arrested. With that said.... there is a very high chance, that DJI ins't responding because they no longer have my camera. So not only are they guilty of stealing, but so is whoever is currently in posession of camera. Being in posession of stolen property is just as bad as stealing it.
If you received a product from DJI that wasn't the same serial number that you sent in, there is a very high chance you are in posession of someones stolen property. DJI is not a company that cares about helping your business. You can glance at any drone forum and see that. You can look at their reviews on any website and see that.
As of now, I'm left with a useless drone body and osmo handle and I'm not about to buy another $3k replacement camera from the very company that stole my other one from me.
The most recent case # they gave me for this is: CAS-1630111-Z5L5K1
The bill for the scratched up camera is only $300 to fix it. Every day that it's not being sent back costs me at least that much money. The day rate for renting it out, is that much money. So, I could care less about paying the $300. The problem is that if I pay it, without them bothering to get in contact with me, then they are going to "fix" the scrathed up camera and send back the camera that doesn't belong to me. I didn't send it in to get it "fixed". I sent it in, because it's stolen property and doesn't belong to me. It's also not in anywhere near the mint condition of the one that I sent in for a software rollback.
At this point I've lost easily $10,000 in months of missed work, missed rental rates, and stolen equipment.
The point in all of this:
If you're running a business, purchase equipment from a real "professional line". Don't buy expensive drones from a toy manufacturer, even if the specs look nice. This is not a company that you want your business to be dependant on.
