I thought it would brighten the place up a little. :-)

Hi all. Ok I was very nervous about updating after reading through this thread. However update AC, 4 batteries and RC x 2. All ok. Went out today and it flew like a dream. One 2 second GPS drop out. Flew away to about 800m out without issues. Beautiful day for flying here in Holmsbu, Norway...

Evening all. Here is the final update. Received the drone back from DJI Netherlands in super quick time. Opened it up to find all ok and extra battery, charger, props, cables and new instructions. "Leaking" oil on one of the feet still there. Maybe its just left over from manufacture? It is a...

Hi. My Gps problem was all of the time and was not worse or better depending on landing gear position. When the shop had it for repair they noted "Safe to fly, non-gps" even with 18 satalittes locked so they replaced the MCU and apparently it was able to achieve Gps lock afterwards. I...

Good morning all! UPDATE: Drone was shipped to DJI Netherlands and arrived at 18:00 yesterday evening. Received this at 10.45 today. Dear sir, Your inspire is ready to be picked up by UPS. UPS tracking number: We have added an extra battery as we said, Checked everything, - Fly test -...

Mine are all original Dji blades. It's not just balance to consider but even slight error in Angle of the blade could be enough to cause performance loss. Very sensitive things are propellers and blades.

At the time I had the quick release 1345s and I think 2 firmwares ago. Not 100% sure though. I think I calculated I got back approx 15mph in Gps mode. Not sure if the drone software can detect prop imbalance and reduce performance to compensate but new props solved my problem.

If you have noticed a drop in performance, try a new set of props. Mine was sluggish and when I bolted on new props the performance was back. Just a thought. ;-)

It's weird you say about the dealer. In my forth and last email to DJI I explained how badly the dealer had dealt with me and my case and the response back from dji was that it has nothing to do with him and just important that I am left happy. So either they are dealing with it behind closed...

Thanks Skynet1. I do think it was the best step and I am hoping they deliver what they offered. I have just now received the return label (pre-paid) and a collection pickup time so looking good. To be honest I have heard mostly bad things about DJI customer service however on this occasion...

Yes fingers crossed. Concerning the dampener I was more upset that he accused me of damaging them (how you could do that I do not know) and the fact it would have to go back for repair again. As you say hopefully a moot point. Thanks again. John.

Good morning all and Happy Easter! :-) I decided to write directly to DJI after all. I was extremely unhappy and felt like I had wasted a bucket load of cash for nothing. I started my message in big letters asking for a manager / Director to respond and this morning I received this email...

My new TB47 arrived totally dead. No lights no matter how i pressed it. Charged it for 1 hour. Then charged it for 22 hours and still nothing. The shop replaced it for free. If it suddenly started working I would be concerned it could also suddenly stop working again. Mid-air. Ugh. :(

FFS just realised what he wrote. Quote " All 4 landing legs / dampeners passed our checklist, and we have footage of the landings so this have to have happened during or after transport. Unfortunately you cannot change the landing leg / dampener yourself so it has to be returned to us if you...

Just got this from the shop: "We have checked the movement of the arms while in transport mode on a new model, and it is the same there. This will be eliminated when the arms are raised / in flight."
