Until this episode with the Mavic 3 that I purchased in 2021, I have been a big fan of DJI. I've owned several Phantom 4 Pro V2.0s, a Mini 2, an Inspire 2, a Matrice 220. And I've taught classes to new drone pilots in which DJI's product lines have been the sole focus. Until recently, I've encouraged my students to purchase the Mavic 3 with the expectation that the SDK release was imminent. Now I'm encouraging students to look at Autel and Skydio as more reliable manufacturing partners for their drone businesses.
When I purchased the Mavic, there were very clear unequivocal statements from DJI that we would have to wait about a year for the SDK to be released for the Mavic 3. I purchased the Mavic 3 based entirely on that warranty from DJI.
I know of no other manufacturer that promises certain functionality and then completely turns 180 degrees and says, "No sorry that's not happening after all. Please spend more than twice as much as you did and only a year later to get the functionality we promised you. We changed our minds."
An internal corporate "change of plans" does not eliminate the express warranty. The Mavic 3 now knows how to do waypoint programming so programming by DroneDeploy, Litchi, Pix4d, etc. should be equally possible.
PLEASE RELEASE THE SDK FOR THE MAVIC 3 AS WARRANTED IN 2021! |
