Theres is something MAJOR going on at DJI. There is NO stock of anything in the UK. Dealers have hundreds of thousands of pounds out waiting for stock but nothing is coming through. My GPS has been gone 4 weeks now with nothing coming back. Dealers dont keep spares so its a reet pain in the butt. I just wish I had sent all mine back rather than trust DJI to sort out the issues and stand up and admit publicly there is a problem and they are spending every waking hour working on a solution. IF that solution is to recall then so be it.
I think you may be right. Just take something like a Zenmuse NEX or an S800 Evo. Lots of large dealers are out of stock. Why? These are relatively mature items, so what's the issue? It seems like DJI does a production run, produces minimal or no spare parts, then moves on to the next thing. They seem very averse to having any inventory that might not sell -- and way more focused on the headline new product than on parts, support, etc. I don't mean to take anything away from DJI. The reason they get so much attention is that they are leading in many ways and producing things people want.
Maybe this is a dealer issue too. I don't know what DJI's returned stock policy is, but say they stick dealers with all unsold inventory. Then dealers may be very cautious about ordering, that feeds into DJI's production, etc. Who knows. In an environment like we have now with massively fast innovation, new products every month, products having lives measured in months, etc., I can imagine that inventory, planning, production, development -- all of it -- face serious challenges and odd incentives.
