Battery popped out

[jordanemchugh]

Soo,
yesterday I was flying my mavic above a river in Colorado. I had been flying it for about 12 minutes and it was about 50 yards away, 4 feet high, and the drone just dropped like a rock. I recovered it and took my mavic to a electronics water repair shop.

It does still work, but now the gimble is upside-down and spazzing out. Any recs? Who knows how it the battery popped out it was pretty wild. Maybe it wasn't in there? Didn't recover battery, watch out make sure they are both down.

I have found that there is a temptation to use the 2 black release buttons when fitting the battery which leads to it not latching correctly, it is better to just place the battery in position and press firmly down till it clicks loudly into place. (without touching the release buttons!)

Wow, Harley dude, that sucks, I am sorry for your loss. I would have never thought to double check, from now on I will.
