I have worked for a couple of companies that have failed because of the very issues we see at DJI at this time. Management is driven by the Marketing department rather than the technical side of the house. It is amazing that the products being produced and sold are totally technical but the Marketing guys seem to be in the driver’s seat.
Either the management of software development is totally incompetent or his superiors are. In either case, someone needs to be fired.
First, you never release product until software development signs off on current release version. Second, you never release software until it is fully tested. Third, you never release software without accurate release notes being published at the SAME time or in advance. Not to mention instructions on how to implement software releases especially when they are as convoluted as the current update procedures for the new Phantom 4.
I would hate to see DJI fail as a business but they surely will if the management of this company does not get its act together.

I feel sorry for the people that support us on these forums. At times it would appear that DJI ties their hands behind their back and leaves them in the dark as much as we are. I for one really appreciate the level of support they give use especially given the number of questions and issues.
