Not broken. Drone is still intact.
Also I worked for Target yes they do as long as serial numbers match because they send it back to MFR

If 75% of the propulsion system is "lost" the vehicle is not intact.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 11:00 pmGoddammit Ron the BODY of the drone. Guy got excited and made a mistake

The DJI equipment is very durable and easily fixed. The propellers are meant to break away in an impact to not damage the motors. Replacement controllers and batteries can be found online for cheap.

Props are quick release plastic props. They can be taken off and put back on (and I bought extras in case of crashes) so they’re back on. Drone flies fine outside except the damn GEO/GPS issues and fly zones here in the metro dc area

There are ways to fix that issue. But its going to require the drone to stay within LOS.

The DJI GO 4 app and the software makes it very NOT user-friendly. I am still kind of stressed about figuring out all of the settings. They don't make it easy. They should have a mode that relieves them of all liability so we can fly it wherever the fuck we want.Barnes93cb wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 11:18 pmThere are ways to fix that issue.

Yeah they designed it to be pretty idiot proof. The motors turn off when props aren’t detected or they over-rev
There are stories of drones flying away when the GPS signals aren’t available mid flight.

Just take it apart and put an aluminum shroud over the GPS. But then it will be LOS or video only.razr390 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 11:22 pmThe DJI GO 4 app and the software makes it very NOT user-friendly.

There are different apps you can use to mitigate this problem.

No GPS means the DJI goes into “Attitude (ATTI)" mode and it means that it can hover away or it doesn’t stabilize as well it’s a risk/reward proposition I’m not comfortable with.Barnes93cb wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 1:01 amJust take it apart and put an aluminum shroud over the GPS.
