I sent my Mavic zoom in for repair.  It was 4 days old and somehow the obstacle avoidance did not seem to work and the drone hit a tree. DJI said pilot error so I paid $300 and just got my drone back.

The remote control is not only not mine (it needed to be bonded to the drone ) but it was returned damaged...see below.

I am going to call them and I’m expecting them to mail me either my remote back or a new one.

Do you guys agree?  I am also hoping that they will not require me send this one back and wait for a new one.

Case

CAS-2255555-F8M9T1

Typicaly they have a policy requesting to only return the damaged item and nothing else (no remote, accessories, etc) and state they are nor responsible for any other items being lost or damaged.

They would have unbinded that remote to bind with their own equipment for testing, so it probably is the same remote in all honesty. It just wasn't taken care of.

I noticed my M2P remote the plastic scratches extremely easily compared to my MP. Usually I just toss the RC in to a side pocket on my backpack. my MP1 doesn't have so much as even hair scratch or anything. My Mavic 2 Pro from just putting it in the pocket of my backpack and having it in there for maybe a week looks exactly like the photo you posted up. Which **ssed me off but oh well.

If I had to guess.. That is yours and it just was not taken care of. Hopefully DJI steps in and offers something in return

Hi Greg, thank you for providing information and I'm so sorry about what happened to the remote controller of your Mavic 2 Zoom. As per checking the case was created online and please be informed before proceeding to submit your online repair request we do have this information provided on the website not to send some items that has no defect.



Also I can see that same remote controller was shipped back with th same serial number on it. But since it does not sound like the kind of experience we would want you to have, I will request someone contact you from the respective department to try to assist you on this matter.

When I get home I will check the serieal number on the remote to make sure it is mine.

However your comment on not sending in anything that is not broken is concerning. First off my 3 day old zoom crashed into a tree which should have been avoided by the obstacle avoidance. I sent everything back because I wanted to make sure that all of the equipment was working properly.

Are you saying that if I send something in that is not broken that DJI will break it ?  What does it matter if I sent  He remote back ?  Does that give DJI the right to damage it ?

Im not trying to argue or start anything but some companies will not even return extra stuff you send in. It's not the best CS for sure that they do that but some still do.

I think most companies trll you not to send anything beyond the specific warrantied item to avoid issues exactly like this one.

Just play it cool and be nice despite your frustrations though and it sounds like DJI might be willing to help out. Othereise DJI is known for giving a hard no.

DJI asked me send them a picture of the serial number on the remote.

I am hoping that they will agree that this was not how the remote looked when they received it and that they replace it.

We have already forwarded your concern to the respective department. We will get back to you once we received the feedback from the repair team.

Just be patient and see what falls out.

So the saga continues. I am still being hopeful but my frustration is mounting.

Per DJI I am mailing them back the remote controller (only the remote ) so they can replace it. They told me that it was already approved for replacement since they see that when they received it , it was not scratched as they noted it was in new condition.  

I called today to make sure that once they receive it they will send me a new one only to be told that they will have to determine if it’s covered under warranty ???  This is not warranty , they damaged the LCD screen.  

Please DJI do the right thing and help me !  Please expedite this and get my back in the air with a remote in new condition.
