Questor Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I was one of the early crowd funders for the Lilly Camera... It's production has been pushed back several times now for almost over almost a year, so when I saw that this Mavic came out I was interested. So now I'm trying to get one Mavic drone into my shopping cart on both my desktop computer and my phone, and both are jammed up. I think the DJI servers are being overloaded with requests. I'll keep trying. Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched their corporate live stream announcement this morning. Everyone in the audience was applauding at each segment of the presentation. Then I tried ordering one and sure enough the site was overloaded! 1 hour ago, KingSong69 said: nearly the same as "gopro karma", or? It is suppose to be better. Time will tell. The people that have been waiting for the Lily Drone should ask for a refund immediately. The company is 15 months behind on their promised delivery date and Lily does not have any collision avoidance like the Mavic. Lily corporate raised over 30 million on the Go Fund Me site. Not good!

I plan to just let it keep loading with hopes I will move onto the 'payment' step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably get a refund. I'm actually working with a guy who is good friends with the Lilly guys. I'm on the same page at DJI. I was able to add an item to my shopping cart, and got to the checkout, and then it crashed again. Hey Rehab! Stop clogging the DJI site!

Questor Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have also canceled my Lilly pre-order. The folks at Lilly must be really worried right now due to this DJI product launch. Additionally, Shares of GoPro fell 4.6% to $16.15 in afternoon trading Tuesday in New York. DJI drops a bomb! BOOM! Anybody want to buy my DJI Phantom with 2-way gimble? I have extra propellers and battery packs as well. Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If even 50% of the customers cancel their orders (30,000) their will not be enough cash to continue. This could also have a direct impact on the Go Fund Me site! Who would ever trust another start company up on that site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questor Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Update: I placed my pre-order for the Lilly camera May 5th, 2015. I just received notification that they will issue me a credit. I feel bad for the Lilly guys, but stringing people out for 15 months is just not a good business plan... Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Glad to hear they at least contacted you to issue a refund! Few more weeks and our Mavics will be shipping!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planetpapi Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I recently bought Phantom P3 Advanced. Sent back for constant IMU errors and was told they replaced the mother board and sending it back to me. Too bad Mavic is out now. Almost pre-ordered Lily back then but didn't. Feel bad for the Lily team. All those Lily's "amazing" features ( Follow me, POI, Selfies etc etc) are now common features on Mavic and Karma. 30 Million in funding is no small feat for non existing product. How do they compete with Mavic with no release date? I bet Mavic 2 will be out before Lily even come out of their shell. Would be very interesting to watch...

Hopefully it is fixed to your satisfaction! Yes...major ouch for Lily! I have been on Mavic forums and they tell me DJI never meets their release dates but only in terms of a few weeks...month at most. Certainly not the 18 months Lily has taken advantage of. Oh the Lily boardroom must have been steaming when Mavic had their live conference announcement last week. I have not heard if @questor received his actual refund yet.

Rehab1 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 @QuestorI knew it was to good to be true! I just received this email from DJI. It appears their is delay shipping the Mavic No date has been set for delivery. Hopefully the outcome will be better than the Lily drone debacle 2 disappointments today! Dear Customers, We said at our Mavic Pro launch event that we would begin shipping in mid-October. We’ve just passed that, and if you’re wondering where your Mavic Pro is, we’d like to offer an update. Since unveiling the Mavic Pro, we’ve had amazingly strong global demand. Production is in full swing, and we will be fulfilling orders as fast as we can. If you have a DJI customer account, we’ll be sending you updates, or you can check for new information in our online store http://store.dji.com/product/mavic-pro. We thank you for your enthusiasm and patience and for being a DJI customer. Best, Adam Najberg Global Director of Communication DJI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questor Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well, even though I have an E-mail from Lilly saying that they will refund my payment within 15 days, It's been 19 days, and nothing yet. I have written to Lilly two days ago requesting an update, and still no reply. I may have to contact my credit card company about this. Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Business 101 - never promise the moon and then don't deliver. It just makes you look bad in front of clients and damages reputation. Then again there are tactics that increase hype like what Nintendo does with some of their products. Remember when the Wii first came out? And their balance board? They produced them in limited batches but not enough to meet demand so people went crazy tryng to get them since they created this exclusitivity and shortage of product. The console interface was pretty novel for the time, but after a while it all gets old and others catch up. Lily had a great PR commercial and promised great features, but it ended up more like vaporware in the end. They might still release something at some point, but they've left a bad impression with all the delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mavic offers the same tracking feature as the Lily but without the bulky forearm transmitter and it also has obstacle avoidance technology where the Lily does not. I would rather buy from a proven company like DJI that has been around for years than a start up. Would love to be a fly on their boardroom wall.
