My P3P has one or two minor issues that I'm currently having to live with.
The first problem I noticed was the vibrations after updateing to FW 1.5. After doing some tests & adjusting basic gains it's at a point I can live with it until a better solution is found.
The next thing I've noticed is the altitude isn't stable. It can't hover a metre off the ground without slowly losing altitude, although it's within DJI's stated specifications so not really an issue as such. What is an issue is the height readout in the app varies by several metres over the coarse of a 15 minute flight, to the extent I need to allow for it when setting RTH altitude & keep a keen eye on any low-level waypoint missions, which can lose altitude when supposedly travelling on a straight & level coarse. I'm currently having a dialogue with DJI EU support over this so it may or may not get fixed. So far so good though.
What I'm less than happy about is the lack of feedback from DJI about whether they've accepted there are problems & if they know what's causing it & if so, how they plan to fix it, especially with regards to the vibration issue. It would gain them a lot more respect (& ultimately sales) if they held their hands up, explained any issues & kept everyone informed. After all, no-one really expects perfection from something so advanced & complicated. No doubt they feel they'd be advertising their faults to the world if they publicly posted issues on a public forum, which is understandable, but that doesn't mean they can't send targeted messages to it's known customers, either within the app or by email.
I'm planning on investing in an inspire Pro some time this year, once I've got my Permission for Aerial Work from the CAA, but may hold off until I know any issues are getting dealt with.
