Hi everyone!

I need your help!. My Phantom 3 Pro was stolen around hour ago. Is there some way to track it down remotely. Does the drone have a GPS system able to show up its position when its turned on?

Thanks for your help!!

Cheers

My email:

I will send and email to corporate. They will probably need your proof of purchase.
I see it was last flown on 6/15 in La Orotave but that was your account so it was you.
If someone else flies it then it will register the serial number in whatever account they start or already have.

It won't be my email, but I asked someone from headquarters to look into it.
The chances of anything happening are slim.
It has to be flown and they have to log into the account. And who's to say that they might say they bought it from someone selling it on the street.
We'll see.

If it end up DJI does see a login and IP address/email then I'm not sure if they can give you that information. It may be something that you need to report to the authorities.

Because of privacy issues, DJI may not be able to give you the info even though it's your stolen aircraft.
Look at the big picture, you say it's stolen but how does DJI know that.
Let's step outside of the box to understand why DJI may not be able to provide info to anyone.
So being unrealistic, let's say you are a bad person and you sold the P3 to someone and you wanted to get close to them for whatever reason good or bad intentions. If DJI provides you with basically their address and something bad were to happen don't you thing DJI will be responsible for providing you private information or a person's location.

I have no idea what they can or cannot do, I'm just thinking of an example if they say they cannot provide any information without some kind of court order.

But i have Spanish police proof of crime, with copy of case and crime number. I can send it to DJI as a proof of crime. There is my name, address and e-mail on it.  Also that paper shows what i said and what has been stolen. Also date and time with reference numbers.  
I hope it can be good proof of what happened.  
I can send you thru e-mail if you wish to have a look.

I can check the last location of your drone by your GO app so that only tells the last time you used it unless your phone/tablet was stolen too and the GO app with your account was used.

My drone was taken along with photo of brothers engagement party. I know there I something DJI can do but every call I make, I get a different response. "can only track while in flight" , "can track for 2nd registered users on one Serial Number", "can track just takes up to 4 hours to get last known location", "cannot track at all". The case was stolen along with remote and drone.

my info is as follows

Craft SN: P76DCK06A26312
Carrier SN: P78DCK05060051

Just your email does not give any information as it's only to your account and registers a flight when you fly with your account.

You piggybacked of a post I was assisting another user with.
Please PM the story. And the only way it can be tracked is if the person uses their email for the GO app and if DJI gets a location with email and IP address. You need to file a police report and the police have to contact DJI with a subpoena as they will not release any information to you.

To DJI,

My drone got stolen.  I am wandering if I can buy another controller and have DJI program/register the new controller to the frequency of my drone.  And if can know where my stolen drone is flying at, I can go there and use my new controller to take/fly back my stolen drone to me.

The application of two controllers for one drone already available.  Not sure how much more of a technical challenge it is to implement an override function to a controller to override another controller in the case of retrieving stolen drones.

Appreciate any feedback.

Ken

DJI please do something with that. Drone costs like IPHONE, iphone has option to be linked with appleid.  Why dji drones has no option like that ? My mavic has been stolen, police needs GPS coordinates. If dji syncs my tracks to the cloud so they should be able to provide that information to police. But online support cannot help. There is emails of HQ but we dont know it! police doest not knows so nobody can helps its too sad. And i know that djiken trying help us but has no ability.

We are deeply sorry for your loss, we would like to help, but really unable to track the location. Once customer purchased the drone, it will become your personal property, we can only check the flight record unless customer sync it to the cloud and provide us DJI account as well. Otherwise we cannot find any trace of the drone, in this case, please call the police to check the surveillance camera.  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
