Phantoms are complex machines. There is a lot that can go wrong, so of course you will see people complaining of all sorts of issues. As such, I'm honestly surprised there are as few threads as there are. Personally, mine has been almost flawless. I fly conservatively and safely, but I think the vast majority of people who crash it on the first time and blame the product might actually be blaming the wrong thing. That might be an unfair judgement, as I'm sure there are a few unlucky ones who fly safe and have it fly away on their first flight, but that is a tiny tiny minority, if it exists at all.
I trained for hours on cheap quadcopters before even considering buying a Phantom. When I was seriously considering buying one, I trained in simulators, researched the laws in detail, recommendations, YouTube videos, all sorts. It's not just an investment of money, but of time too. If you neglect to invest time in learning and patience, then you can expect frustrations and problems. That also applies to dealing with DJI. We know DJI support is shoddy, so buy from a dealer. That's the key thing. The rest is patience |
