I'm near Winnipeg, MB. I ordered mine from DrDrone on Oct 15 and received it on Nov 15. Pretty happy with their service. This is my first drone, but I used to fly RC helicopters - so this sucker is a breeze!
I'm having one small issue with mine where I get a Compass Error pretty much constantly while flying. After all my research I think it needs to go back for repair. Not fond of sending it down to the USA for repair as it might take months to get it back.
I pre-ordered mine from DJI end of September, received it in Montreal mid Nov. That is six weeks but I was told the waiting time is more lower now, around 2 weeks.
I had some gimbal issues when the temperature started to get low and had to send it back to California for repair. It won't cost me a dime but it will probably take 3 weeks: one week for shipping, one week for repair (this was completed today) and I expect to get it back within the next week or so. That's the risk of buying the early models. If you can wait, you may get a model that has a few known issues already fixed. A couple of friends of mine took the risk and just ordered theirs. We'll see if they have more luck than I did... The gimbal issues and camera lens partially out of focus are the 2 issues I heard the most on this forum (after the very early losses of control that now look resolved by recent firmware updates).
I can't wait to get it back. It is really flying incredibly well and it's very fun to fly. Battery life is impressive even in cold weather (assuming you start your flight with a warm battery as recommended by DJI). I got about 23 min flying time by -10C. |
