So I bought a new MP and did all the suggested installments of updated app and firmware. Calibration of IMU was successful and compass had a "good" calibration. The video actually recorded all these steps for 3 minutes and continued to record for a 4 minute flight. All went well til the end when everything "disconnected", no video, no flight control at a distance of 10ft. Could this be a firmware issue? The "new" drone is now destroyed and sent to dji. Did i just eat 1300 bucks and gunna get some refabbed piece of crap in return? The shop where i purchased it from is handling the case and I don't wanna settle for anything less than new. Bought a P3 the same day and don't have any issues with it.

Hi Skunk, I'm sorry to hear the unpleasant experience. Generally, the "disconnected" means the mobile and RC do not connect well, but it will not affect the control of RC. Could you tell us your case number? We'd like into the exact status and try our best to help you.

This sucks, hopefully you get a brand new AC in return.  Keep us update on this case.

100% DJI is going to say pilot error and charge you to fix it. Also, DJI seems to only send out refurbished units for warranty claims.

That is correct. DJI protocol is to always bill the customer and only in rare situations take responsibility and repair the AC at NO charge to the customer.

DJI protocol dictates charge the customer no matter the issue on our end because we are in business to make money and not be responsible for inconsistencies with our products. The customer is never right just always at fault.

Not sure why you calibrated your IMU and compass this is almost never needed unless you are prompted by your app.
