Thanks to this thread, I just inspected my P3P with a magnifying glass I had lying around, and no stress cracks at all. I voted.
Just two words of caution when throwing around the numbers like "over 2,000 views", and using the voting numbers to calculate statistical relevance of a random sample; 1) this thread is now 4 pages long, and each time you view this thread, the count goes up. I can see the same names commenting over and over again, nevermind the same people coming back to see how the discussion is going. So, 2,000 views doesn't mean 2,000 individual people.
With respect to voting numbers, this forum in no way represents the entire global universe of PH3 owners - not even if you tried to count only English speaking, North America owners. However, IT IS a random sample of this DJI Phantom 3 Forum participants who ALSO felt like voting. That's it. So, 49 people on this forum who opened that thread and decided to vote believe they have stress cracks - 186 in total. Think of it this way, when the first two people voted, and one person said "yes", and the other said "no", does that mean at that time that 50% of all PH3 owners have stress cracks? Probably not.
Also, just watch the placebo effect. If I just randomly pointed out into the ocean and said, "OMG, look at that whale!", a large number of people would respond with, "Oh yeah, I see it." Even if nothing was there. All plastic molds have some blemishes and discoloration. So, I'm not saying people aren't having real stress cracks, just watch the "mob effect", and seeing something that might not actually be there. But if it's there, then vote, and contact DJI and open a case. Kind of a dead issue already - Tahoe_Ed said if your case is legit, DJI will fix it.
That said, I'm glad this thread was started if it helped even just one person discover some cracks they might not have noticed before their warranty expired. That's what this forum is for. |
