I have now participated quite regularly in the continuing conversation that takes place here for about a half a year. I understand in comparison to many that is a very short time. I'm sure many have noticed though I choose my words carefully I call it as I see it. I'm beginning to sense a clear and present undercurrent that leads me to believe that DJI exerts undue influence in what is posted here. I recognize the Editor more than once has alluded to job offers and that many here act a beta testers so there exists a constant conflict of interest between the truth and what DJI would like communicated by defacto Employees. I watched Machoman be banned for spreading to much truth to forcefully. Unfortunately sometimes it seemed to be laced with unsubstantiated fiction. Even so I find that censorship troubling. I have been very careful not to yell fire in the theater or claim the sky is falling and have done my share of defending a company that grew at a rate they hadn't planned in their wildest dreams to. All that said it doesn't forgive thievery or fraud EVER. So I ask simply though this site provides excellent information and seemed to be a place where honest conversations about truthful experiences was promoted is that all being manipulated by the fact that this site is influenced heavily by DJI indeirectly? Second and more importantly as this all grows are we all comfortable renting equipment costing in excess of 8K in some cases and at least 3k in most. I say renting as we are and many have become blind to it. Does the equipment you purchased have the features it did when you paid for it? Does it have the features you were promised when you paid for it? Do you have a say what features are removed from your equipment? Do you have a say what features are added to it? Do you have a choice as to the service of your equipment? So after one answers these questions can you say whether you really own your equipment or are you simply renting it? I've asked myself these questions and have become thoroughly disgusted. As I was one of those lucky enough to be warned I called foul when I unboxed my PRO with the 1410 transmitter. I have an exchange waiting at my retailer I'm becoming more confident will be an outright return as will the 14 lenses still eligible for return. The rest I'll sell. I wish you all good day and implore you to take the blind folds off.
