I think it's easy enough to fix.. Just grab a pair of players and Sqeeze that gap closed to Prevent the lanyard from slipping out..!Question??? Why were you using the lanyard with the ring in the wrong position? the flat end is suppose to be in the nylon not sliding around the hook clasp.
Got to agree with Rich. The main reason for a lanyard is to allow you to be hands free without having to set the radio down. I let my radio "hang" from my neck quite often, and I don't look down to see if the ring is turned to the correct orientation. The ring should work regardless of which way it is turned, that is how a ring is designed.Nick, perhaps you should contact 3DR and alert them to the issue?
Most people will have the transmitter hanging from their strap from time to time.
I just received my lanyard the other day. I was hoping for a nice quality unit, but I thought it seemed a little 'cheap', but I shouldn't complain for a free item which was shipped to me at no cost!
I thought it should have been adjustable in length, and a bit stronger looking. Your pictures confirmed that is may not be strong enough for its intended use.
I'd suggest that people be very careful when using this lanyard.
I guess it was long enough for Collin to use....I received my lanyard last week. Not adjustable, too short. Will not use.
i recently received my lanyard about 5-7 days ago. and the ring ripped a hole thru my lanyard which made my controller to fall and caused my drone to crash. drone is fine and still flies but my gimbal and go pro were broken.View attachment 1084View attachment 1085
Looks comfy tooI use a heavy duty laptop bag strap that I clip to a thick keyring I put on the controller. Works great. I know its overkill, but it won't break.

Send the photo and explanation of what happened to 3DR, If the logs corroborate your story (i.e. the logs don't show you doing a bone head move, then trying to blame the lanyard), 3DR should make good on this.

Unless you just want to collect the lanyard, I would get a proper remote strap. The lanyard puts the weight on your neck, which kind of stinks. I picked up this one (or maybe a very similar one) and have been happy with it for those times I'm using the remote for extended periods. It's also convenient if I just need my hands and don't want to put down the remote.I know who's is a bit late by a couple of yrs but I never got my lanyard and would still like one....anybody know where I can find one?
