[QUOTE="wordzenpix, post: 51649, member: 10322"] There are enough of these reports, mine included, that it's clear to me that DJI either has major QC problems or a fundamental flaw in the software/hardware. Mine was brand new, less than an hour of flight time and ignored my commands to land at its current position. There are liability issues here that are going to bite one day. I don't trust autonomous-assisted devices, so I flew the fourth flight on a day when no one was on the beach. Had there been, the Spark would have become a low-flying weedeater, cutting a swath at four feet of altitude all the way down the beach. I had to jump out of the way when the obstacle avoidance failed. Instead of people, it chose a red cedar to cut a swath through, chewing through a few needles before stopping 54 feet up according to the telemetry data. My wife is an attorney and says that DJI IS liable for warranty coverage of a defective product if the consumer is deprived of use of that product owing to a manufacturing defect or failure during the warranty period. I've asked for a refund from DJI which was refused. I'm not done yet. I WILL NOT fly another autonomous-assisted drone of any brand. There are just too many liability issues if things go wrong as has been amply demonstrated on this forum. [/QUOTE]
