Props to DJI Repair

[Jeffmcguire]

I bought a used P4P v2.0 over a year ago that I used for flying bait out while surf fishing. I crashed it hard on first flight because i didn't realize i had a prop not secured. I fixed it myself, new gimble arm, upper and lower shell and land gear. It worked but i had some random issues. I think the environment I use it in was starting to get to it. Well it came to a head one day when while attaching bait it quit responding to my control and we crashed it from 5ft into a few inches of salt water.
Local guy quoted me $1200 to fix it as "everything was fried". I only paid $700 for it so that was out. That is how i wound up here. After some reading I sent it to DJI to see what they would say. After 3 days since i shipped it, they came back with a quote of $383 plus some tax. I paid it immediately and 4 days later a brand new AC and controller arrived in my original case with my battery i sent with it.

I can't say enough good of my experience with DJI. I was looking at finding another used unit on market place or here for $600-$900, so to have a brand new unit for $400, I'm ecstatic. Like others reported they called a day or 2 later to check on my experience. If your looking for a P4P repair consider DJI!

In the future, I'm going to a better bait release system. I was just using the old flat hook where i would fly out, rotate 180° to drop in. Now I'm going to a unit that is electronic and has a safety built in in case it snags something or reel binds.

Still flying 3 P4P's for fishing. I've been using a bait release made by Gannet that will release under tension, quick tug or locking the reel while in forward flight releases the bait. A cheaper and simpler release I've used is a downrigger release clip centered below the camera. Both use an adjustable tension depending on weight of bait or whatever is attached. I can carry nearly a kilo bait offshore with these units. I have a smaller setup on my Air 2 drone as well. Great fun

Thanks Capt. That is exactly what i went to. I like the fact that the Gannet has the electronic release but if it snags anything it will also release.

DJI has always treated me fairly.
I use their Maintenance service on my job's Enterprise sUAS as well as the 3 Enterprise sUAS I own.
It is a very professional service complete with maintenance reports.
My Mavic 2 Enterprise had an issue that was found during a Basic Maintenance.
I was told I would have to pay for the repair since Basic Maintenance did not cover the faulty component.
I was sent a quote for $87.
What I received when I got my sUAS back was a brand new aircraft.

Not too bad for the oldest sUAS in my fleet now being the newest (At the time).

Since then I have sent in 4 sUAS for varying levels of DJI Maintenance and have been very happy with the result and confidence in all the aircraft's air worthiness.
