I thought that was DJI talking directly. But unfortunately, what was said is true. DJI purposely tries to prevent you from flying with certain devices, and it's only luck that one guy found a workaround. Very bad. And DJI still hasn't returned my request for support on this issue.

Well dji emailed me this today. So hopefully they can send me the battery directly. "On a related note, I am currently coordinating with our warehouse team to verify the possibility of sending a replacement battery directly to the Philippines. Rest assured, I will follow up with their response...

I fly my drones with a Samsung Tab S3. Unfortunately, back around 2019, they updated from Oreo to Pie. It turned the S3 into a total pig. Nothing but lag. So a few days ago, I finally got up the balls to try to roll it back to Oreo, and it worked. I lost a lot of data and settings, but I'm glad...

Tell me exactly which thing I did, that was so careless or negligent. Then I will respond. Got a shocker from DJI today. Now they say it was a European battery, so they can only send it back to a European address. Even though when I lost my mavic 3 pro that was purchased in Thailand, they sent...

Well, looks like you guys have some egg on your faces. Just got this from DJI: " Hi Steve, Thank you for contacting DJI Technical Support. We are glad to inform you that we already a feedback from our relevant and we can go ahead and replace your faulty battery. By the way, may we know your...

DJI determines whether or not the warranty applies. Not you! I didn't even have to tell them what happened, but I did, because I'm an honest person. I will respect their decision. Not yours. By the way. Objects do not drown. People and animals drown.

I thought the batteries now have a 1 year warranty? I'm not sure where I trashed DJI. I have a new DJI story, but I guess I will have to start a new thread for it, since it's not related to this battery thing. My main complaint on this battery thing, is I gave them all the information they need...

Hi GagetGuy. Thanks for taking the time to read, and comment, on my post. I realize the purchase date is when the warranty starts, but I lost the receipts for some of my purchases, so I can't prove what those dates were. But knowing when the batteries were manufactured, might give us a good...

Yesterday I could not fly my mini 3 pro because DJI wouldn't let me. I flew from the same location 2 days ago no problem. This is my email exchange with DJI: Also, I told them I have a video of the whole thing, but they haven't asked for it or told me where to send it. On Mon, May 27, 2024 at...

Here's the email I got from DJI yesterday. Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry about the manufacture date of your battery. We appreciate your interest in this detail, and I would like to clarify that, unfortunately, we do not have the capability to view the exact production...

Yea, I can see why topside would be dangerous. Not much room to avoid the props.

Ok. I'll do an internet search on why drones need a compass.

Yea, I did clean the contacts with contact cleaner. Didn't help. Either saltwater got in the battery, or it shorted out, and damaged the internal electronics. I thought these batteries were relatively watertight. I wonder if you can open them up? I see somethings that look like fasteners on...

So if you just hold it, the props will stop automatically?

In my opinion, to hand catch, you have to turn obstacle avoidance off first. That's what I do.
