Any DJI Phantom owners out there? I bought one earlier this year and it’s only been a bit of a mess. The first real flight, power died and it dropped like a rock. I shipped it back to them, 6+ weeks later, I get it back and GPS lock seemed to take almost 5 minutes. Just wondering if we have a DJI community on Tindie…

After crashing a second time, one arm is bent. Bought a new shell so going to replace the shell and see how that works out.
Drones - no where near as rock solid as they’d make you believe…but still tons of fun

Emile, happy to see you like them ! I have no Phantom but worked a lot on drones and I am testing a prototype that will be one of the next ones to be sold: microdrones with high quality cameras at a very low price ! (I attach an image)…
What you say is almost true, and frankly - as I use drones in some professional applications - I am developing low cost solutions with high quality responses. If Tindie will start a section on drones I can contribute immediately with some material, images, videos and so on.

Great! I’ve been waiting for more drone activity in https://www.tindie.com/browse/robots-drones/
Funny enough, I finally got all of the internals out of the busted shell, into the new shell, and tested it yesterday. All good so far. I’ll try and fly the phantom next weekend and post a video.
Glad to have another quadcopter fan around!

I will start soon to sell it on Tindie (price will be less than 100$), I keep you informed.
Have a nice day. Enrico
