Hi everybody, I wanted to let you know that if your thinking of having your DJI what ever built by a professional, DJIUSA is a good place to go. I had noticed that Robert was tough to get a hold of lately and frankly was a bit frustrated. Talked to him on the phone this morning and he advised me that he has been relocating to have a better place of operation to do his builds. He is about there now. Some of you may think thats its a little weak to not build your machine your self, and honestly I think it is too. After all, when you build something your self, you have a darn good idea of how to fix it when "if" it messes up on ya.
But this is my 4th copter. I have a Walkera MX 400, "my first quad" and it was an expensive toy not for any kind of serious camera work or serious anything. Bought a Turbo Ace X830s, and it was really expensive thought it looked up to the mark. Un fortunitly, it uses Xaircraft electronics which are bottom of the barrel for sure, I did not know that untill it was too late. Not knowing better, I did some research on Xaircraft stuff, and stupidly went to Jeffery at Xaircraft USA. This guy is so full of crap its running over on the ground but man can he sell!
Bought the X-650 V-4 with the V-2 hard ware not the V-1 that was in my Turbo Ace which was even more usless. After a short time Jeffery talked me into converting it to the V-8 saying it would be so much better, and that if it lost a motor it would still fly, all total BS! All it did was use more power and shorten flight time.
I got the whole package with Auto Pilot, GPS, compass etc. I will say that if it works, its not too bad. Just dont hit return to home. It wont land its self, but once or twice it did more or less come back in my direction, but more times than I want to remember, it went crazy and took of for parts un known. if you turn off RTH in flight, its all over it will freak out and flip over and dump its self hard. I have spent well over $2000.00 in the initial buy and all the rebuild parts I needed. A total horror story I wont go into further.
After hearing how so many people were having a great time with the DJI machines, I went for a F-550 hexa with WKM electronics. I had spent a small fortune on all the other crap I bought and with crap results to go with it. This is the reason I am so long winded here. I wanted to explain why this time I just didnt not want to chance anything. So I bought the best of everything and had a pro build and set up everything. I sent Robert by JR 11X transmitter with a new receiver and asked Robert to set that up to so that when I got this all back it would be as well tested and thought out as what I thought was possible.
It is! What a night and day total difference. This machine is awesome and is solid and stable as anything could be. " I hope I dont jinx my self " Bottom line, if you want the best possible out come and your not an expert or even close to one, Robert at DJIUSA will make your day for you and believe me, when all you have had is bad luck and dissapointment, Roberts, way is the only way to go. No I dont work for him! :nevreness:
