I take my share of the blame for this crash...I just expected it to go straight up. i'll try this app again but will either be in a more open area or use the method discussed above. Take off with DJI app then switch to the Hangar app.

Well..some good news albeit pretty slow. DJI is going to send me a replacement under my DJI Refresh. I was worried since using a 3rd party app. No clue if its new or refurbished. We'll see . how long it takes.

I'm still waiting on repair/replacement update. It's been sitting stuck there since 5/16

Well crap..10 of 11 reasons should count for something. I'll just tell them I flew it into a tree and see what happens. I think if I could find the parts it would be an easy fix....but that's just me being me. I'd prob have a few parts left over as usual. .

All systems go..10 satellites. It just went up at an angle instead of straight up. I was assuming it would not be covered since I was using a 3rd party app? Not trying to cheat anyone or get something I don't deserve, but what do I tell DJI. Never had to file a claim before because this...

so...first ever issue with my Mavic was on my first flight (attempt) with this app. It took off..went up and went at about a 45 degree angle upwards into a tree:-( instead of straight up....didn't respond to any stick movements. Yes...i should have probably been in a more open area but it was...

obviously not an engineer or battery expert....but why can't you just leave 3 on the charging hub at all times? I don't...but it would seem like the easy thing to do?

So how do you turn the motors off if you have the mavic in one hand?

BTW...since i'm too lazy to look it up....what does the video caption switch do?

Awesome...thanks guys. I'll check it out next flight.

I haven't seen this mentioned or found a thread on this, but when flying there are often white/black lines on my phone display in light areas of the picture or video stream. It doesn't show up in video or really affect the flight ,,but does obscure some of what i'm shooting. Anyone else seeing...

Any homeowners or renters policy should cover liability for injuries or damages to others...unless you are breaking the law or causing intentional harm. Call your agent to verify.

talk about hijacking a thread...wow.o_O Is there a shrink on here...i need head advice..not technical.

So I've gotten pretty good at flying and operating my MavicPro...however I still have anxiety/apprehension about flying with strangers watching my every move when I get ready to launch. I'll drive to a nice spot I want to shoot...someone will be parked there, sitting on a bench, wandering...

What SteelFlyer said: when in doubt... let off the sticks. Don't start pushing them every which direction in panic mode.
