I filed a "fly away" report with DJI, not claiming it was their fault in any way. They looked at the report (complete with video, telemetry data) and agreed to give me 40% off the purchase of a replacement DJI 3. Since I was already planning on rplacing the DJI 3 with a DJI Mini 4 Pro, they're applying the discount ($200) to the purchase of a Mini 4 pro. DJI is a pretty cool company for doing that!
