I have no choice but to express my appreciation to DJI, I sent my Inspire 1 in after a crash, that I felt was due to an upgrade issue with a broken arm. They received in August 7th after 7 weeks no contact I emailed them, they sent their sincerest apologies for being so far behind in the service center, and issued me a "one time" new replacement that they sent and I received today!

I hear all the complainers, so it's only fair to praise them when they've went beyond any reasonable request I could've made.

THANKS DJI,  back in the air just in time to comb the WRP fields for my big buck! Deer hunting made easy!

Very good to hear. I have been hearing a lot more positive reviews lately.

Using the drone as a spotter is an interesting way to be hunting. I like it!

What revision did they sent you, D Version? Was the ono you sent in A B or C?

How exciting this would be with a FLIR cam still waiting for it

I sent my unit on september the 1st, received by DJI according to the tracking number on the 4th, DJI wrote a mail that same day, on September 10th they sent me bill, i paid on the 13th, it was a Sunday, so i guess they were not working on California, they confirmed the payment on the 16th, wrote me back informing about replacing the Inspire for a one time courtesy on the 17th, sent me a tracking number con the 21h, i will received my new unit on monday, extremely fast service, very happy with this fix by DJI, hope the service will work the same way for everybody and the keep improving those times, but anyways the deserve congratulations on my behalf, i was waiting an answer after 8 weeks of they received.

Regards,

Leo

how much was the bill for?

@Jon - good deal. Considering DJI takes on a lot of heat, that I wonder if even is deserving? Most companies would tell you that your own your own so I think DJI went above and beyond customer service!

Same thing happened to me...I sent my I1 C model to DJI for damage due to a couple of fly aways...after 8 weeks DJI sent me an email with an apology that said they were sending me a new one  DID NOT EXPECT THAT...and they did. ( C model )  This I appreciate very much because since I purchased it they had it longer than I did.   When I got to test fly the replacement... I flew it for about 13 mins., low altitude, doing just basics to see if everything was OK. I checked the bird and noticed the left and right tubes that support the landing gear struts and the props were loose..------I held the rear strut and moved it back and forth and the front of the tube moved 1/8 " back and forth......After checking with tech support I sent it back.  I am a little disappointed that something like that would get by QC.  Anyway I am happy that one week after I sent my C model in for repair the first time, I bought another Inspire so I could keep flying.  That one was a D model and it has been flawless.  I think DJI is trying but if I could not afford to buy a second Inspire .... I would not be flying at all for many months.

Didn't have a clue there was such a thing as A B C or D, how do I check, and what is the difference? Also I may have sent my thank you too soon, I can't get it to update any version firmware all I get is a blue light on the tail.

Let's hope this is the start of a new DJI customer service policy.

That great, Hay if DJI are replacing some of these with new ones hows about selling some refurbished units to us poor people who can only afford Phantoms  ;)

yea thats not bad for a full replacement unit really depending on what the damage was. they arent cheap to fix buying parts from other dealers, would be a lot cheaper probably if dji sold parts legit but the only way to get them is from dealers who buy new units and disassemble them to part out, not really cost effective but better than waiting two months or more for dji to fix and send back.  i crashed mine and fixed it myself, broken camera gimble $550, broken carbon fiber arm $400(didnt buy one though, fixed with patch for $2, not perfect but it works), broken antenna wire in the landing foot $175(cheap thin crap wire hard to fish though tubes, broke new one immediately on install so currently im one antenna short, only 3 out of 4 but works good enough within half mile range with the bad side facing me, no change in distance with good side facing me.)

Thats an expensive solution, but better than wait 10 weeks...

my thoughts exactly

Congrats on the new drone, but you are a coward and what is wrong with hunting.
