Saturday was a sad day for me. I had to put TWO brand new drones back into the mail. One back to Amazon, one to DJI. I’d been watching for a sale on A Mini 3 Pro. The sale showed up on Amazon, so I coiled myself up like a spring and launched into action. Halfway to my shopping cart, I remembered that a buddy got a great deal on an “open box” drone so clicked over and found the Mini 3 with the Fly More package (extra props and batteries) for nearly half off ! I couldn’t “buy it now” fast enough !!😃 30 minutes later, wallowing in my buyer remorse, I though to myself “self, that deal was too good to be true” So, I logged back on and of course I’d purchased the wrong drone. I’d clicked on Mini 3, not Mini 3 Pro. KHAAAAAAAN !!! And, of course, after only half an hour, my purchase had already been pulled and was too late to cancel the order. So, in my panic, I did what any red blooded man would do, I ordered another drone 🙄 Prime had the 3 Pro at my doorstep the next day, the 3 would take a few days to make the trek.
Saturday finally rolls around, it’s a bright sunny day and I’m ready to fly ! I had a few domestic duties to attend to including putting the Mini 3 in the mail back to Amazon. I rushed home pulled the Pro out, ran my checklist, started the motors AND …… only 3 of them turn on. Guh !!!! Yep, motor seized. I logged on to DJI customer service, but there was nothing to be done. Alas, it went back into the mail. I went from two new drones to none in amazingly short order.
My work drone, Mavic Air 2, still travels with me and after a fresh snow fall, I was still able to get a fly in today. No telling when the replacement 3 Pro will come, but this will be DJI’s customer service test.
