In case any of you think I'm a DJI fanboy, you'd be so wrong.
With DJI's A3 flight controller and Lightbridge 2 system ($1999) you'd think I would not have to deal with this BS.
Yeah, it works. Kinda. Sometimes.
So there I am, $3000+ into a system that should work flawlessly out of the box, a scheduled flight actually happening, and the system doesn't connect. For like 30 minutes.
Then it suddenly does, barely just in time to make the takeoff cost worth it, and I get some cool footage.
A day later, and I fire up the system at home. It connects without a hitch. Which is weird, but I noted my startup procedure, just in case it mattered.
Two hours later, I fire it up again, with exactly the same procedure, and it does not connect, and gives all sorts of guff. So I shut it down, and try again, more methodically checking my procedure.
Nope.
Two hours after that, after hard resetting the controller and ipad several times, full system reboots, it SUDDENLY connects ... and I don't really know why ... same as the other day when it finally connected in the air.
It's totally random. But once it starts working, it stays working ... until it gets shut down ...
This, my friends, is absolute BS. If there was another company that offered similar systems/decent quality (when it's working) I'd be so happy to pay double what DJI charges ... but there isn't, so they have us over a barrel, and they are not being gentle.
I am really really livid.
But, happy to say, that the system works well when it does, and I guess that's the price I pay ...
DJI can go ---- ----------!
