Although the drone market is quite growing, it has been some time that Xiaomi has not brought out any new products, indeed unfortunately it is news of these hours that the Chinese company is withdrawing some batches of its legendary Mi Drone 4K, as some specimens are having problems with loss of power in flight, putting the safety of others as well as of the vehicle itself at risk.
Recall that Xiaomi is not directly the direct producer of the Mi Drone 4K but rather FIMI Technology, which on the other hand has long since embarked on its own path, detaching itself from the protective wing of Lei Jun's company. It is in fact FIMI to announce the withdrawal of some specific models of the drone in question and in particular those produced between February 8, 2017 and February 18 of the same year.
Xiaomi Mi Drone 4K: the company withdraws some defective specimens
The products recalled by the company are those that have the serial number WR JTZ02FM, so we advise you to check if your model corresponds to this because it could become a serious danger for yourself, for the drone but above all for the people around the area of flight.
According to FIMI, 4000 drones are affected by this safety problem and a withdrawal plan should be published on its website in the coming days, that is fimi.com. In the meantime, the company still recommends all Mi Drone 4K owners to update to the latest firmware version available.
Definitely bad news for all those who own a Xiaomi Mi Drone 4K, even if a minimum of praise must be given to the company because in poco time has drawn up an intervention plan to solve the problem. For the rest, there is no need to create alarmism, as if on the one hand it is true that 4000 specimens are hypothetically affected by the problem, a selection must be made of how many are actually still in circulation. On the other hand, 3 years have passed since the production batch and considering the low cost to which the drone was sold, it is conceivable that many have bought it as beginners and perhaps within poco they also split it ...
A meager consolation, but anyway if you are one of the owners of the offending drone, keep an eye on the manufacturer's website for more information about it.
