In my previous video, I discussed that my new DJI Phantom 4 Pro + would not allow me to complete the activation process. While the Dealer was helpful, he spoke to DJI and they determined the drone was defective. 

After I boxed up the Phantom, I released the previous video and posted this issue to the Forums and Facebook Groups. Input came back that the name I used for the copter during setup, Phantom 4 Pro +, was causing the rejection as DJI's system doesn't recognize certain characters or symbols. 

While this video goes into detail of my second round of attempts to get this copter activated, near the end of the video, I deliver a Gadget Guru Editorial and I can only hope the fine folks at DJI are listening.
