I was with an individual that we started our team together 2 years ago. We were working with SAR K9 teams training. We were flying the drones to familiarize the k9s with the noise so they would learn to ignore them. We were also flying above them and acting as a overwatch for any thing that...

I agree entirely. I find it disappointing that they seem unconcerned about what is needed and more concerned "if I qualify for the grant they will buy what ever I give them." Siras, they import a drone with other capabilities and wipe it down to a basic drone. I emailed the company rep with...

Check to see if your local drone dealer can get all the parts for the Enterprise versions with carbon arms. I havent found one that could. The carbon arm is thin around the motor and a slow 3 ft drop sliding off the hood and striking will fracture it. And the repair cost is 463.00 for one arm...

As a drone pilot and program supervisor in Public safety I do not support the ban. Having to swap to american made drone companies would destroy our abilities and mission operations. I would love to buy USA made drones. BUT, they are obsolete, expensive and overall worthless. They lobby the...

We fly DJI m300/ M2ED/ Autel 640T and I own a Teledyne Siras. Autel Customer service is non existent and a farce. The camera on the Siras is great but the drone is oversimplified to make it supposedly secure. It doesnt do wifi or cell which is ridiculous. But for the 128 zoom and the Flir bosun...

I agree. I spoke last night with Autel customer service. Basically informed them that all parts need to be available to dealers and the ability to do all repairs including warranty. Why should we pay higher rates with the drone maker when our dealer base is at times a better rate on repair work...

Got updated invoice for my repair. 399.00 Paid and getting my repair completed. But all parts should be available to the dealers. Much better service if we get to use the people we know and rely on.

Hope you dont need a carbon arm replaced. They will not ship them to dealers. And wait till you get the bill. A carbon arm is not a 250 dollar repair as on the rugged model. And if you insure your drone and controller with UPS for shipping that is 150 plus right off the bat since your dealer...

Go with Mavik. I have a 640t with carbon arms. Autel will not sell the carbon arms to dealers. If you need an arm replaced it will cost you 500 dollars plus for what should be a 200 dollar repair. When you call Washingtons location the person on the phone first says" your dealer can buy the...

If it is the enteprise carbon arm they will not sell the arm to dealers. 600 dollar repair with shipping . If it was a dealer repair it would be 250.
