After a week of Complaining about my customer service experience they’re finally going to take a look at my Flyaway event.Thank you to the Dji forum Community for all your help


Dear Christopher,

Thank you for contacting DJI support. Your case has been escalated, and is currently being investigated by a customer support supervisor. We appreciate your patience and will reply back shortly.

Best regards,
DJI Support


So While we wait I decided to make a little video. Because I know everybody works better with a timeline

How was your customer service experience?

Flight data

Strange I had to reset my password for all my DJI accounts

I'm glad to hear that they're taking another look. I doubt that you'll be offered a free warranty replacement since it was outside the 1-year warranty period, but hopefully you'll be offered a discount coupon to offset some of the cost of the loss.

The second video shows zero satellites and no GPS very clearly.  Even the distance is in the millions of meters.  You can't expect the drone to work properly if not launched properly.

Honestly, I can't imagine why you are arguing over this one. The warranty has expired and you flew knowing there was very weak gps and interference.

I think that you did not take any precautious measures before the takeoff. 0 satellites and no GPS signal. I'm gonna say this is on you, and don't take out all your hurt feelings on some customer service person. You can't expect a drone to RTH when it has no idea where it is in the world. Don't blame DJI for bad support, this is 100% on you and that film about Adventure Untold is just capitalism, if you know what that is! Think before you fly, think before you talk. Have a good one!

Look like gps goto 0  10 second after motor start at this point eyes are on Mavic

You’re right  I should’nt updated firmware . I believe the update had a different tune for the startup of the Mavic pro  platinum completely useless.

And capitalism ???? I’m out 2000 bucks over this lost drone Goggles batteries etc.

Thanks for your patience. Please feel free to contact us if you have any doubt in your case.

It looks like the gps dropped out just as the motors started.

Even if gps had failed, you should still be able to fly it in atti mode or whatever it is that it reverts to.

I try to gain control it didnt Seem to respond properly I never fly Mavic in ATTI mode but I have  flew other drones without gps and have a lot of flight sim experience and once flew a real Cessna 152. Between mode changes and If  notifications it was very over Whelming.

Did you not restart the craft after updating? And yes capitalism, thats money, you buy, they sell, they profit, thats how it works.

I follow the on screen Instructions and yes the Mavic did restart. It went through it’s usually startup Routine play startup music an Twitch all for propellers and so on. The thing that was different was that it was stuck in ATTI for 5 min. Then gps with 13  satellites kick in controller was green So I started auto takeoff. Everything was fine until one minute 48 seconds. That went ATTI came back Starting to Drift drift backwards. I tried to regain control By throttling forward to no avail seems like I had no  lateral control
Elevation seem to be working I gain height to increase signal  and avoid obstacles. This was about 40 second  and then the downlink went off for about 10 seconds. And the rest is pretty much history

Did you not have any satellites? Thats what the data said.

I was preparing controller log an saw I had old firmware on controller V01.03.0900 and 4.1.22 on Mavic could this cause problems?

Glad it’s being reviewed again

It's pretty obvious that there were No satellites / No GPS and should have never taken off in that condition . What's on your device is also,what's on your DJI GO4 App. Your should have rebooted everything to see if you could grain GPS/ Satellites before taking off.  I always look at GPS, RTH point, IMU and Compress readings before I ever take off. That should be standard practice as a UAV pilot.

If it that important then it should be on main controller . When I took off noting look different to me
Remember these drones are being market to consumer with no flight experience. If I have
0 satellites.It May mean I have a hardware failure.   I brought a drone with Gps not one with out

Hi all hope you enjoy? Thanks for all your help

Soon to follow a Review of DJI MAVIC PRO REFURBISHED

Glad to know the issue turns out to be great, hope you will get the drone soon.

. I’m having major problems DJI trying to pull fast one on me. first they send me a 15% of a Refurbish offer with overnight shipping. Mavic So I think great deal. Then last Minute they send me a shipping notice  that says  I’m receiving Mavic without battery or propellers with 5 day shipping.  So I ask  where’s the deal and they advice me that it’s impossible for me to return The Mavic because it a Virtual order and they ran it as a repair and its Warrantee is in question. So I think I’ll be re-posting that anti Dji video. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!

Hi Chriswood, sorry to know the issue still hasn't been sorted out, I have transferred your frustration to local team to verify if the battery and the propeller should be included, please wait patiently, thank you.

Please let me know if the battery and propellers are included in this shipment as per the sales receipt. If I don’t have an answer in writing by the time of delivery, I will be forced to refuse shipment and file a claim with my credit card company that I did not receive what I was purchasing. Yesterday I called and customer service was not able to tell me if I have a warranty with this product. They also told me it was not returnable since it was filed as a “Virtual order”. I am not sure what that means?

Thank you for your update and glad that the issue is resolved. Hope you can receive the battery and propellers soon and enjoy your time. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. We'd glad to help.

UPDATE: battery and props Received. things are coming together Mavic Pro Scheduled for Tuesday the 13th delivery.  Hmm I thing there’s a  ❤️ story brewing !!!

      But unfortunately I’m have another problem I sign up for Dji select program and have a 50% off coupon Dji care program and I got a message saying that the Mavic Pro has been activated for more than 48 hours (which is impossible since its still in transit to my home) and I purchased Dji care before on this Mavic Pro.  This has me worried that this refurbished Mavic is being sold to me without a warranty. In short I’m looking to Insure my investment. My Serial numbers is 08QDE1H01R030R I Check the web site and Confirmed that you are able to buy Dji care on refurbished Mavic Pro. So what’s going on if I have a problem with my Mavic Pro I don’t want to be told “Sorry we can’t help your Mavic Pro is Out of Warranty” After paying $650 bucks.

I see the reference to a mention of Tom, out of Lakewood, NJ, as local DJI...
Does DJI have a facility in NJ?  Does this mean that I can get support from the East Coast (without sending to California)?  I had a Spark, briefly, and expect to get a M-A  (FMC) when they  become available at Best Buy.

Hey there, as far as I know, there is no DJI Official Repair Center in NJ, if there is an issue with the drone, you still need to send the drone back to the DJI Repair Center (California). But if you don't want to send the drone in, you can also check if there is a recommended repair center nearby. Hope it helps.

Tom in NJ was a  member of  DJI  management team the battery and props we shipped out of California

The number they call from is in NJ, but I believe Tom is in the DJI Cerritos, CA,  facility.m it was Tom who (supposedly) personally took my 5th Mavic Pro off the shelf and had the DJI fight team test fly it prior to shipping it to me (none of which actually happened).

Yeah, I thought the same, until he didn't do all the things he promised to do... except send me a new Mavic.

Guess what ?
