I first sent my P4P in for repair due to roughly this error: “vision system requires calibration”.
At this time I did NOT have gimbal issues, the horizon was always good.
Over one month later I received a different unit back with no paperwork, no explanation. I had to be the one to contact DJI to get Refresh updated to the new SN. NOBODY at DJI will explain why I got a different unit back.
So this “repaired” unit now has the gimbal issue. It won’t maintain a level horizon. After several IMU / Gimbal calibrations, during which time the gimbal locked up pointing down and back. At that time chat support said ship it back and they’ll “expedite” it.
Long story short it was another three weeks before I got yet another unit back. During that time one of the supervisors, over the phone, told me he’d ship me a NEW unit OVERNIGHT. He quickly took back what he said about a NEW unit, but PROMISED to ship a replacement overnight.
The day that supervisor PROMISED me that I’d have the unit in my posession he sent me an email stating “And as promised we will provide a overnight shipping for you.”
The unit did ship that day, UPS GROUND. It took five more days for me to get it.
So now I have an obviously used P4P (the UV filter has small scratches in it) and the gimbal won’t stay level.
My symptoms?
Take off facing west and the horizon stays level if facing west or east. Face north and the horizon is tilted one way, face south and the horizon is tilted the other way.
ANY manual calibration just offsets everything. I can get it level north and south but then east and west are tilted.
I’ve done the IMU and gimbal calibration. My first unit did NOT have this problem! WHERE IS MY FIRST UNIT?
I chatted with TS once more and the guy said “send it in’. I insisted to speak with a supervisor because I had already sent it in twice. He kept presenting me with the repair form, I kept insisting and he finally said OK, a supervisor will contact you within 24 to 48 hours.
That was a couple of weeks ago and I've heard nothing. I am so disgusted with DJI. Support outright lies, I have it in writing. I agree with some other posters here, DJI seems to not (DOESN'T) care at all.
One poster said we need to tone it down. Huh? I’ve got over $2K in DJI equipment, bought the Refresh package, never crash my aircraft(s), and this is what I have to put up with?
I have a theory on why my first unit was replaced without an explanation: Someone at DJI realized it had a GOOD gimbal setup and used it for themselves or a VIP. NO ONE has offered an explanation, they just ignore my question.
ONE QUESTION: During gimbal calibration, what’s the gimbal supposed to do? Mine moves side to side a couple times and that’s it. It NEVER moves up and down during calibration, only during power-on. DJI support doesn’t even give me a straight answer to that, they only ask me “do you get an error?” |
