Drone diagnostics for faults that are not obvious yet
If the drone shows warnings, unstable behaviour, charging issues, or intermittent faults, you can send it in from anywhere in Australia or use Ballarat workshop drop-off during business hours.

Diagnostics-first support for difficult drone faults
Not every repair starts with a clearly broken arm or damaged camera. Many drones arrive with intermittent warnings, charging issues, unstable hover behaviour, or faults that only show up after storage or firmware changes.
Australia-wide mail-in drone diagnostics are available for those enquiries, with Ballarat workshop drop-off available during business hours.
It is also a practical entry point for newer DJI models like Neo, Neo 2, and Flip when the search query is symptom-based rather than model-page based.
- Useful for unclear, intermittent, or non-visible faults
- Ideal when the owner knows the symptom but not the failed component
- Helpful for newer compact DJI models such as Neo, Neo 2, and Flip
- Supports Australia-wide mail-in assessment and Ballarat drop-off
How the repair process works
Diagnostic pages need to reassure customers that they do not need a technical diagnosis before getting in touch. The process below shows that the initial enquiry can start with symptoms alone.
Step 1
Tell us what is happening
Describe the warning, strange behaviour, charging problem, or power issue as clearly as you can, even if you do not know the technical cause. Start with the model, the fault symptoms, any visible damage, and whether you would like to use our Australia-wide mail-in service or Ballarat workshop drop-off.
Step 2
Ship the drone or use local drop-off
Most customers send the drone to us by courier from elsewhere in Australia. If you are local, Ballarat workshop drop-off is available during business hours.
Step 3
Diagnosis and quote
Diagnosis focuses on the reported symptoms, visible condition, power system, sensors, and any behaviour that can be reproduced during assessment. Once the root cause is clearer, we can recommend the most sensible repair path or next step. Once we confirm the issue, we send through the recommended repair and quote before any work begins.
Step 4
Repair, test, and return
After the repair is complete, the drone is tested for the reported fault and either returned by courier or made ready for local pickup.
Next step
Book a diagnostic assessment
Tell us what the drone is doing, when the problem started, and whether you want to mail it in or drop it off in Ballarat.
