I filed a "fly away" report with DJI, not claiming it was their fault in any way
. They looked at the report (complete with video, telemetry data) and agreed to
give me 40% off the purchase of a replacement DJI 3. Since I was already plannin
g on rplacing the DJI 3 with a DJI Mini 4 Pro, they're applying the discount ($2
00) to the purchase of a Mini 4 pro. DJI is a pretty cool company for doing that
!
