Just had to send a Matrice 300 in to DJI for service a couple months ago. I read all kinds of horror stories online about how bad DJI's customer service and service experiences had been for people. Thankfully I had nothing but excellent care from all departments. The drone was still in the warranty period and they replaced it with another unit without question. It was about three weeks from shipping to receiving back. I can definitely understand that without a backup that kind of timeframe could kill your business. Glad there was a repair shop you could take it to personally and have a quick turnaround on it.
Yeah! Even after reading all the horror stories about DJI, I had a Air2S that for some reason the altimeter went nuts and ended up in the water! They replaced it. I forget exactly but in a week or so had a new Air2S! I'm not far from their Dallas repair center which is a plus.
Did you ever contact DJI and ask why the 3 prop emergency landing feature didn't allow you to have a "semi controlled" decent? I was hoping that feature would be a life saver in situations like that.
Never a good day when your drone falls. I've had a $350k drone fall before as well as an M600 Pro get show with two rounds of bird shot. Thats what insurance is for! Thank you for sharing this. So many people don't fess up to a crash or failure. The harsh reality is none of the commercial off the shelf aircraft we fly are type certified or even have published MTBF for all the important components. It's not if the drone will fall, but when the drone falls. I tell all the students I've taught, be prepared each time you send the drone that it may not come back.I've watched a brand new Phantom 4 Pro have the screws on the propeller mount back out on the aircrafts second flight.
10:46 insurance on anything is bitchy.. i think the companies just want money and not pay for anything.. my brother got a brand new house and is insured for both wrong materials and faulty installations.. turns out the company that built the house used inside pillars outside.. so they started to rot after a few years.. but.. as he saw this happening and reported it to his insurance company, there was a loophole in the contract.. so he straight up asked em.. if the house collapsed do to the pillars, would he get anything.. no.. because he noticed that the pillars were rotting and told em.. think he swapped company shortly after.. he had to buy new pillars and hire people to swap em out.. got nothing from insurance
How about buying a Mavic-3 T as a backup AND a secondary drone for use at the same recovery or second concurrent retrieval.?? Also… Please take a look at the AccSoon Cine-Eye-2 paired up with a few iPads mounted in heavy duty cases… It takes the HDMI out from your RC and rebroadcasts video/audio to up to 6 mobile devices at up to 1000’. The mobile devices run the AccSoon app and it really works incredibly well and is stable and cheap enough. We use it as a secondary method of permitting Fire Department incident command etc .. to view what the drone operator is seeing. Our primary unit was custom built in-house. Transmits up to a mile, All signals are encrypted and remote viewing terminals are contained in pelican cases. Many more features ,.. too much to list.. but the AccSoon is much easier to deploy and a fraction of the cost. Thanks for your videos …. Good luck with the drone. (ps. We lost a Mavic-2 zoom when the Lume cube lighting brackets failed and took out props. They are a miserable company to deal with and discontinued their drone lighting products.
I have two DJI mavic 3 The only way the insurance is worth it is if you end up having a flyaway and you can't find the drone. I spent more with the insurance because I had to purchase insurance at 300 for two year and extra year if you don't use the first two and pay the deductible. Without paying the insurance I just have to pay the deductible which is usually $150 ish depending on the damage they just swap drones out anyways.. cool videos man keep them up never knew people are using drones for hunting deers like this..
A month ago, my Air 2S shut off when it was landing. Fell about 40 ft onto concrete. Battery was at 60%. Top and bottom shell both cracked up pretty bad. Also damaged one of the sensors. I had just bought a DJI RC controller and only had 7 flights on it. My brother in law replaced the broken pieces but was still getting error messages on the sensors. Sent it away for repair. Any thought why this happened??
If I understand what you said and showed in the footage, you're suggesting that an accessory device came off the mounting rails while the drone was banking to the left. Then the device fell to the right. While that sounds counter-intuitive (i.e. falling upwards) it makes sense that the air stream would push it to the right. Did I understand that correctly? New drone owner here. Thanks.
Had a Matrice 210v2 fall out of the sky after sitting stationary at 250ft. It was near us, and we could hear it revving up as it walked itself forward against our control inputs. Then it fell into the parking lot, destroying itself and its payload of 2 batteries and a z30 camera. We will NEVER spend that much on a drone again, certainly not until DJI can put in some fail-safes and better telemetry that can tell us that it's hurting before it tries to kill someone.
Not sure if someone asked this already but, If the light wasn't mounted correctly and it came off mid flight. How were you able to recover the light? Wouldn't they of crashed with some pretty good distance between them?
Expensive lesson . Not sure how much business you do or how much you lost over this ? Maybe someday another Drone maybe as a backup or even for expanding your business ?
I collided with a bird mid air with my FPV drone and it dropped into a river right at the harbor One of the worst moments of my FPV career Watching everything in the googles, you see the water coming closer and closer and then you hit the water and then black screen
Just for the heck of it what exactly does one pay for drone deer recovery ..... I'm just imagining some of the hunters in my area and what kind of clientele they would be so are they offering a six pack of beer or actual money 🤣
Bro I am sorry about your drone dropping and getting some serious damage. I watched the entire video and in matter fact I am talking about your video right now in my livestream buddy. Great video and you got yourself a new subbed here. I would appreciate support if possible my friend...
@@dronedeerrecovery hey whatever suits you but they’re pretty easy to work on idk the bill but I’m sure it wasn’t cheap and it’s probably only hr of labor no more
“200’, 500’….250’? WHICH is it? What makes that Matrice 30T “worth” $20K? Edited to add: Not that it’s an expensive drone but I JUST “RE-insured” an Air 2S for full replacement value..just so I have it covered. My DJI ‘ Care Refresh had expired Dec 1st and I went with a “Personal Articles” policy of $1K and the premium is very reasonable, only $75 a YEAR…NO deductible. Sure, it’s not a Mavic 3T or an Autel model but it’s peace of mind nonetheless. The ONLY thing I’m not covered for is repair..
I heard that State Farm covers drones. I have had mine for over 3 years without a problem. I was in a vacant parking lot, no cars around flying about 20' to run the battery down. There was a wire from one light pole to another. I looked up and it looked like I hit a buzzard. I looked down at my iPad and saw it on the ground. It had a broken ND filter and the front left collision sensor was damaged along with two props. I stopped at my State Farm's office and showed the lady what had happened. She started the claim and told me to send them the bill for repairs. DJI sent me a brand new drone. The cost for repair from DJI (Fort Worth) was $245.00. I told State Farm to put my house and both vehicles on a policy. I saved $ 1,200 per year with them over my old insurance carrier. When ever the weather gets better I want to go flying again.
Hopefully someone smart finds a way to help you. Maybe we name the company "Drone Drone Deer Recovery Recovery". Actually, it sounds more valuable a service than the one you provide.
How did 250ft turn into 500ft ? Which one was it 😅🤣 Is there really that many people that can't track their deer they shot 🤔? Sheeesh I may start this niche service in my area...
Have not watched this yet but from the previews I can say , this is my experience , I have had a bunch of drones shot out of the sky , I had heliopera come right afterwards and a bunch of police cars going crazy in my hood. I accidentally took my drone higher than 200 ft and I happen be in the most tightly watched airspace in the country well one of them. know where I was? Anyway. they shot them down with something , I 'm going up , up and about 400 ft, as I'm looking at a beautiful skyline as it's getting dark and I see the city, my drone wobbles and winds up hard then 30 seconds later it literally falls falls right onto a neighbors back deck and explodes, not on file but my phantom literally is in a thousand pieces. The neighbor comes out of the house but is not sure what happens,. a helicopter shows up about 5 minutes later and about 5 cop cars start driving around my hood ,, all crazy ,, fast then slow looking and driving in Alleys ,, I said oh she and rolled out. I repeated the same thing about 2 weeks later and got the same result./. That was about 6 hundred and some dollars. I just had destroyed , man I'm hard headed.
They usually have to bring it down in controlled decent if in restricted air space so it doesn't fall onto someone or something & usually chase you up from file .
You should consider other services: pull front wheel drive crossovers out of the mud - gun safety for virgins - sound shots are bad. Seriously, if you can’t guarantee a clean kill and recovery, let someone else hunt your tag. I know that even in a perfect world, some deer are going to get lost, but it shouldn’t be enough to spawn a business of deer finders!
Hey you might need to think get you a backup if I ever happens again you won't be out of business fix the one that's broke but you will still be in business
I'm not going to lie watching this was very difficult. It would be nice if you could include the inputs that you made on the joysticks at the time when the Drone went down. That would really shed a lot of light in terms of what was happening from the pilots end. It's either a problem with power management or Gyro. Hang tough bro
Let me know if you can see a bullet going through the air and hit your drone. Drone can be easily be in VLOS and not see a small bird or a bullet from a gun.
@@dronedeerrecovery if I heard a gunshot and my drone explode it would be easy to deduce; if you were far enough away you didn’t hear the shot I doubt you were within vlos imo. However I didn’t say you weren’t I just said you should have. No reason to get super defensive.
Now don't get all silly on us. Honey… If somebody shot it. You would see a hole somewhere in the plastic. Or it's what took the arm off? Did you hear a gunshot? You think he was a long-range sniper with a scope? Out there in,, Boomy Ville. I doubt. Somebody is sitting around all day. Waiting for you. To fly your, drone. As they are used to waiting for, ducks. Granted that. So it's possible. Then they hit the leg. Off it went. Like a plane going down in flames. But yeah that was a total bummer. Regardless of how it happened. It's not fun. Dropping something so costly. And why you should just switch to a,, DJI or Autel. For, $1500-$2500. And then you won't throw yourself in front of the next bus.. And nobody's going to know. Tell them you're using, that one. No, honest. They'll never be the wiser.. Audio is strangely that way, also. Which is what i Have been specializing in as a career for the past, 50+ years. As I cannot quite discern. When I actually started? I could say, 8 years old. But at the same time. My first technical leap was,, at 12. By, 15. I had a 2 day per week show, to do. At the, Community College of Baltimore. At 15. Or was it the, multimillion dollar, recording studio complex? When I was 17. But then again. Becoming the overnight, FM DJ. For then, Baltimore's, #1 Progressive Album Rock, station. When I was 19. And one of the youngest. To hold that position. For a #1 rated station. In a major market such as Baltimore. And that was a gas and a, half! But then maybe it was when I was, 22? When I designed and built from scratch. Baltimore's second largest, music and commercial production, recording studio, production facility. And not just the acoustics. I designed and built. A large frame custom audio console. Requiring a custom-built, cabinet to house it in. And 10 feet long with a Producers, desk. And weighed in at, a couple hundred pounds. For the cabinet. And it was an enormous undertaking. Since, I had no training, to do that. From an academic background. None, zero, zip, nada. I'm just a stable genius. And I know one who's not. We all do. Some even voted for him. And I hope have, buyer's remorse.. Oh. And later. By 1981. I thought myself to be a large asset. To NBC-TV Engineering in, Washington, DC. Where I spent the next 20 years. And the last 30. With my formerly, Audio & Video, Production Facility. In a, 25,000 pound, Mercedes-Benz, diesel box truck.. With 2 control rooms and a, machine room. And ancillary storage area and kitchenette. With audio and video playback systems. In each of the 3, soundproofed rooms. Separated by solid core, wood doors. Which get left open most of the time. But for the few occasions I needed it. I'm like Scotty from Star Trek. Only in a studio. With hundreds of knobs and dials, meters and monitors of all sorts. And can be quickly reconfigured. For a variety of audio and video recording, purposes. To fulfill the clients requirements. And up to, 48 tracks of, simultaneous recording. And it's a monster! Or was. Prior to a pandemic. When I figured after 30 years. With my studio. It was time to, retire. The virus provided me with a clue. As I'm now 67. And not the man I used to be. In fact. Not a man anymore, at all. But also no competition to, Caitlyn Jenner. If ya follow? Yeah but how can anybody do all that without a degree? I'm just naturally, a super intelligent, brainiac. And stable genius. And happened to have a knack. For what I do. Very well. Which is, twiddle a bunch of knobs and dials. And act like I know, what I'm doing. As I'll get the hang of this, one of these days. Before I fall over, dead. I think I fell asleep while writing this. As its almost 5:30 AM. RemyRAD
this is an absolute joke, he refuses to accept that its something with the drone or fc, who knows, but i like the first response is, we have a light in stock , still trying to sell upgrades . what a bunch of garbage. i will never own a dji drone. i use there v2 googles for my own builds, but the prices are absolute predatory to anyone who has common sense and can build, good luck with that man
You should have bought the drone the guy had sitting on the shelf and you'd be working the same night and you'd have an extra drone I understand they're expensive but I run a business plowing snow and I have 2 plow trucks because one might go down and believe me my plow truck costs more than your $20000 drone. I also have to mowers, this is your business, right? So if I was you I'd seriously look into another drone it a write off. I'm just saying deer season is only weeks long you only have days literally to make you money.

A good example why every business needs to have a back up for every tool.

You can buy a parachute that deploys when you through a switch on when it senses the drone tumbling.
Interesting- thanks for watching
Great to know that everything was a quick fix... and that it wasn't shot out of the sky!

How about buying a Mavic-3 T as a backup AND a secondary drone for use at the same recovery or second concurrent retrieval.??
Also…
Please take a look at the AccSoon Cine-Eye-2 paired up with a few iPads mounted in heavy duty cases…
It takes the HDMI out from your RC and rebroadcasts video/audio to up to 6 mobile devices at up to 1000’.
The mobile devices run the AccSoon app and it really works incredibly well and is stable and cheap enough.
We use it as a secondary method of permitting Fire Department incident command etc .. to view what the drone operator is seeing.
Our primary unit was custom built in-house. Transmits up to a mile, All signals are encrypted and remote viewing terminals are contained in pelican cases.
Many more features ,.. too much to list.. but the AccSoon is much easier to deploy and a fraction of the cost.

So its pilot error... Were the mounting screws not tightened?
Yes it was pilot error - the mounting rails can sound like the light is locked in even if it’s on one rail. Lesson learned for sure.
Not sure if someone asked this already but, If the light wasn't mounted correctly and it came off mid flight. How were you able to recover the light? Wouldn't they of crashed with some pretty good distance between them?

what was the cause of the failure? Im from the short

I'm not going to lie watching this was very difficult. It would be nice if you could include the inputs that you made on the joysticks at the time when the Drone went down. That would really shed a lot of light in terms of what was happening from the pilots end. It's either a problem with power management or Gyro. Hang tough bro
Thanks
$450 plus 100 to recover the deer lol I’ll buy a brand new deer for less then that! 😂😂😂
10-4 good luck
So obviously you need megga dollars just too maintain your drone , with all the possible variables.
Down in Ohio, swag like Ohio 😅😂😂

Wow.
👍
Wait a second...... your running a drone and can't fix it?
Yep I have professionals do that for me
You should know what happened to your drone as it should have been within VLOS.
You also claim you were 500ft which you should know it’s only supposed to be at 400 feet.
He said 250 over takeoff altitude
Let me know if you can see a bullet going through the air and hit your drone. Drone can be easily be in VLOS and not see a small bird or a bullet from a gun.
@@Andyrewk you definitely didn’t watch the video and hear how it was explained.
@@dronedeerrecovery if I heard a gunshot and my drone explode it would be easy to deduce; if you were far enough away you didn’t hear the shot I doubt you were within vlos imo. However I didn’t say you weren’t I just said you should have. No reason to get super defensive.
I love the subject matter BUT can u hold the frame for more than 5 seconds. 90% is HERKY JERKY. Camera guy has ADD.
🙂 we’ll do better 👍
Now don't get all silly on us.
Honey… If somebody shot it. You would see a hole somewhere in the plastic. Or it's what took the arm off? Did you hear a gunshot? You think he was a long-range sniper with a scope?
Out there in,, Boomy Ville. I doubt. Somebody is sitting around all day. Waiting for you. To fly your, drone. As they are used to waiting for, ducks. Granted that. So it's possible. Then they hit the leg. Off it went. Like a plane going down in flames.
But yeah that was a total bummer. Regardless of how it happened. It's not fun. Dropping something so costly. And why you should just switch to a,, DJI or Autel. For, $1500-$2500. And then you won't throw yourself in front of the next bus.. And nobody's going to know. Tell them you're using, that one. No, honest. They'll never be the wiser..
Audio is strangely that way, also. Which is what i Have been specializing in as a career for the past, 50+ years. As I cannot quite discern. When I actually started? I could say, 8 years old. But at the same time. My first technical leap was,, at 12. By, 15. I had a 2 day per week show, to do. At the, Community College of Baltimore. At 15. Or was it the, multimillion dollar, recording studio complex? When I was 17. But then again. Becoming the overnight, FM DJ. For then, Baltimore's, #1 Progressive Album Rock, station. When I was 19. And one of the youngest. To hold that position. For a #1 rated station. In a major market such as Baltimore. And that was a gas and a, half! But then maybe it was when I was, 22? When I designed and built from scratch. Baltimore's second largest, music and commercial production, recording studio, production facility. And not just the acoustics. I designed and built. A large frame custom audio console. Requiring a custom-built, cabinet to house it in. And 10 feet long with a Producers, desk. And weighed in at, a couple hundred pounds. For the cabinet. And it was an enormous undertaking. Since, I had no training, to do that. From an academic background. None, zero, zip, nada. I'm just a stable genius. And I know one who's not. We all do. Some even voted for him. And I hope have, buyer's remorse..
Oh. And later. By 1981. I thought myself to be a large asset. To NBC-TV Engineering in, Washington, DC. Where I spent the next 20 years. And the last 30. With my formerly, Audio & Video, Production Facility. In a, 25,000 pound, Mercedes-Benz, diesel box truck.. With 2 control rooms and a, machine room. And ancillary storage area and kitchenette. With audio and video playback systems. In each of the 3, soundproofed rooms. Separated by solid core, wood doors. Which get left open most of the time. But for the few occasions I needed it. I'm like Scotty from Star Trek. Only in a studio. With hundreds of knobs and dials, meters and monitors of all sorts. And can be quickly reconfigured. For a variety of audio and video recording, purposes. To fulfill the clients requirements. And up to, 48 tracks of, simultaneous recording. And it's a monster! Or was. Prior to a pandemic. When I figured after 30 years. With my studio. It was time to, retire. The virus provided me with a clue. As I'm now 67. And not the man I used to be. In fact. Not a man anymore, at all. But also no competition to, Caitlyn Jenner. If ya follow?
Yeah but how can anybody do all that without a degree? I'm just naturally, a super intelligent, brainiac. And stable genius. And happened to have a knack. For what I do. Very well. Which is, twiddle a bunch of knobs and dials. And act like I know, what I'm doing. As I'll get the hang of this, one of these days. Before I fall over, dead.
I think I fell asleep while writing this. As its almost 5:30 AM.

It’s not 20k
🤔
this is an absolute joke, he refuses to accept that its something with the drone or fc, who knows, but i like the first response is, we have a light in stock , still trying to sell upgrades . what a bunch of garbage. i will never own a dji drone. i use there v2 googles for my own builds, but the prices are absolute predatory to anyone who has common sense and can build, good luck with that man
👍
14k for drone $1800 for spotlight
Plus, batteries
Tldr, user error
🤔
You should have bought the drone the guy had sitting on the shelf and you'd be working the same night and you'd have an extra drone I understand they're expensive but I run a business plowing snow and I have 2 plow trucks because one might go down and believe me my plow truck costs more than your $20000 drone. I also have to mowers, this is your business, right? So if I was you I'd seriously look into another drone it a write off. I'm just saying deer season is only weeks long you only have days literally to make you money.
We now have two flying and have learned a lot - thanks for watching
@Drone Deer Recovery I would assume in a job like that 2 drones would pay for them self especially during deerr season.
20K on a DJI lol
🤔
DJI are at the forefront of domestic/ industrial drone technology.
Bird attack
😶
@@dronedeerrecovery just a guess, more likely the battery pack installed wrong
very bad camera man all video is so shaky can not watch it.
Thanks for watching
Ohio drone repair
Yep
Hmmmm Ohio
🤔
funny as hell $20.000 drone you should have lost it in the water
this is the punishment you get from hunting deer ? KARMA'S A BITCH
Not hunting, recovery only - thanks for watching
You pissed off another hunter and they shot it down. You probably messed up his hunt. Just because your done hunting don't mean everyone else is.
Drone malfunction - no-one 'shot' it out of the sky - which is very illegal just for reference.
@adrianmateodrones sent me
👍
For 20.000 I'd be getting my money back
😁👍
