Well, my inspire and x5r are in broke thanks to DJI.
Long story short, I was flying back to home, at 24% I was 100 meters away, the wind was so so, but bear in mind I had been flying fine for many minute before that and not had a single incident since day 1 of owning it.
As I am bringing it, down I get a motor overload warning, at which point the drone struggles massively against a wind it was previously doing fine with, I note that the drone is now being taken away by the wind and I am powerless to stop it, so I switch it into atti mode to get more power to try and fight, no good, at which point the thing is now heading toward a mountainside which I could have cleared but at 15% a warning flashes up on screen saying drone is now landing.
You already know the rest, my drone and camera are in bits 20 meters from the TOP.
I have the log on my inspire which confirms what I said. I was just wondering if DJI are liable?
For the record its the Inspire 1 V2 with the better motors, so the motor overload message is BS.
There were two critical problems from DJI.
1) The motor overload message at 24% made my drone massively inefftictive.
2) The auto land at 15% made a bad situation even worse.
I have flown this thing for over 2 years without a problem and I know **** well the motor overload and auto landing before it should caused this.
Does anyone know what the best course of action is?
I really cant afford to replace it and I feel DJI are to blame.
my inspire needs a new arm which isn't too bad, the X5R seems good on the top base, the bottom bit with the lens, but the mid section is bent and broke.
Drone still works, starts etc, so I am hopeful I can get her back up and running.
I am in the UK. Might just send it off to DJI and prey they have mercy.
I would need a fully loaded inspire 2 to beat it and the X5R is still huge money new.
I am quite reluctant to buy a second hand one without extensive testing before hand which makes a hard item, even harder to acquire.
