About time with a positive thread? Lets hear how many hours you've got on your aircraft! Would you choose DJI again?

I already did choose them twice.  Is that enough?

Yeah, I will choose DJI again. I got no choice. ;)

Only had mine two weeks and have about 6 hours flight time and wish I had chosen them sooner.
Could saved myself an intermediary step of a H*bsan

i had a phantom 2 that i crashed repaired it but then the phantom 4 cam out and i must say I'm very happy so far =)

ps so far i only have about 3.5 hours on the phantom 4 so far and 23 flights totalling 57km which i think is quite impressive information =)

p3p with 190 flights
yes I would buy another p3p when this one ditches in the drink

Phantom fc40 with lots of hours on never crashed only one close shave when i nearly got caught out over a river in cold conditions, totaly my fault and lesson learnt. Phantom 3 pro about 20 flights never crashed, only problem ive had if you can call it a problem is when i had a vps error message show up i was over a disused railway embankment so it could have got confused with the steel rail tracks, never shown up since thankfully. These dji drones are fantastic and i would buy another p3p should the worst ever happen. Only problem would be finding the money again. Having said all this there could be an improvement with the materials used on the shell and controller,   Hawk.

Between the Litchi app & the DJI Go app, I've got about 120 flights, 20+ hours and over 200 miles flown....
On the Litchi app, I've got 61 flights and 10 hrs. & 41 mins. in the air.   
And with just the Litchi flights, I've flown 107 miles.

Longest mileage- 24,455 ft.
Longest flight- 17 mins. 24 secs.
Highest altitude- 1642 ft.
Farthest distance out- 5435 ft.
I would definitely go with wnother DJI product.
In fact, I'm going to pick up the 4 in the next few months.

Reported by the Go app*:

• Total Flight Time: 23Hr57Min
• Total Distance: 313,124M
• Total Flights: 290
• Growth of Value (whatever the hell that means): 317,586
• Top Distance: 8,873M (stock antennas with parabolic extenders)
• Max Takeoff Altitude: 300.4M
• Top Speed: 18.3 M/S
  

Yes, I would pick DJI again.

This is for 2 P3Ps. I don't know if it counts Litchi flight stats.

The ranges provided are based on averages across all users data.

The maximum end of each range is approximately the 95th percentile, except
for Highest Altitude which ends at the maximum configurable value of 500m.   

My P3P has nearly 41 hours of flight now, with over 300 km of accumulated distance. I have cleaned off the bug bits now and then, and I did change props once... so, yes I would go DJI again!

I have flown 51 hours (oh ya!) and yes I would choose DJI again. I wish I could be flying right now but it's much too windy today.

Combines between GO and Litchi ( The bigger portion on Litchi)
429 flights
38hrs 36min
Max speed 73.0 mph (it must have been a stiff tail wind! This fact is from the GO app.)
Max alt. 1616 ft

"Coulda saved myself an intermediary step of a H*bsan"
I'm with ya there, although that experience makes me enjoy my P3S even more now.  Plus, I gained experience with a bird that didn't always do what was expected.

Whe you find out what growth of value means let me know haha! how much did u gain with the parabolic extenders?

Thanks

73 mph!! did you fly during a hurricane??

I have 26 hours of flight time with 199 flights and almost 980,000 feet of distance. Top distance is 24,000 feet and height is the max ceiling. I've owned it for maybe six months and have never had a single issue with the p3s.

So yes, I'll probably be choosing dji again when this one dies.

Since I have no battery mods and no plans to do that, I think what I am getting from the parabolic extenders is just more assurance that I can get the stock mileage that DJI claims I can get.

To wit: many times I haven't been able to get the spec'ed transmission distance of 5K (3.1 miles) because I was flying in places with too much interference. The parabolic extenders let me finish my mission without losing remote signal (either video, control, or both) in such places.

Otherwise, I have no interest in breaking distance records. I just want greater signal fidelity where I do fly.

Not too much.
They look similar and function the same way.
I guess the biggest difference is you have access to more settings with the DJI app.
But with Litchi you can plan & store missions, record the device flight screen and enable audible feedback that relays the quads current condition. (distance, altitude, speed, battery)

Did someone say wind???

I don't remember my Phantom flying that fast! The Go app show that as my highest speed.

I have Phantom 3 standard, total flight time: 5hr 50min, top speed: 58.1mph, top distance: 1640.0 ft.Would definitely buy another Phantom.

What are the parabolic extenders?

I think there are several different kind, including making your own, but these are the ones that I'm using:

About time to update my flightlog! I got the 3 4K about 3,5 week ago, since then i've had 52 flights, 4 hours and 17 miles in the air!  Top reach 550m (CE) and didnt push it, just ran out of space.  Got 3 miles in one flight aswell. Really satisfied with it. I'll leave the first ever video below, the camera settings were completely off so sorry about that;
