DJI Products are as good as their service and at least today that Sucks.

Los Angeles, CA-My DJI Inspire 1 drone cost well over $3,000.00 extra batteries are well over $200.00 each.

Realistically you need several additional batteries if you plan to do any extended flying.

One of the batteries I purchased was only recharged seven times and somehow gave a "damaged cell" warning. The battery is absolutely unusable.

Three DJI technical support calls later they told me to send it in with photos of all six sides of the battery with proof of purchase and I'd get a replacement. Sounds simple!

Not so fast! The date on the receipt Oct 2015 was not readable. So they refused to send me the replacement. Without a better copy of thr receipt I'm out of luck!

So now I'm supposed to kiss enough ass to get a better copy of the receipt from my dealer. He's closed today so it will delay replacement assuming the dealer will generate another copy. My drone dealer is top notch in every way and I know he will help me within reason.

I asked DJI if they would simply call the dealer who knows me very well and could verify the sale. I was told that the DJI policy would not allow for a simple phone call.

Needless to say I'm going to be unlikely to recommend them or purchase another product with their very unreasonable nitpicking.

I'll say this for what it's worth. I'm not talking behind DJI's back. They are getting a link to this review of their service.

I'm angry about this crappy treatment and hope this fiasco won't get worse. I will update and publish just how this aggravation is resolved.

An Update!

DJI finally heard my complaint and cut out the obstruction. They were slow but by within a week they sent me a new battery.

My lost productivity because of the battery problem was much greater and more expensive than had I just bought a new one! That was indeed unfortunate.

DJI makes wonderful products. They like every relatively new business has some setbacks. Dealing with fraud is no small problem and security measures are no small concern.

I've heard a multitude of complaints about DJI's service. Will their service ever have the same excellence as their products? We all hope that will be the case. I say they need time to streamline and make service more customer friendly. I hope my criticism was constructive and helpful to that end.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive. Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning. That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed. It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide. Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community. Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
