Hi all
Took the plunge during lockdown a few weeks ago and picked up, after hours of research and deliberating, the mavic air 2
On day 2, I crashed it into my house...was flying over a field right in front of it and brought it back in sport mode... I started trying to slow it down way too late... In short, I was over excited and got too confident too early...
The screws inside the gimbal cover on one side got Shawn off (I checked the flight data and was travelling at 8m/s when it crashed down from 18m/s 10 metres earlier... I was so gutted... (I live in a very rural area of South England)
I have been able to clip the gimbal housing back on, but it's not perfect... The video now when I take it up, is ever so slightly wobbly in certain shooting modes, most noticeable when flying It straight forward... And earlier I had a warning saying gimbal motor overload.. I guess if needs a repair for sure
I do have the dji care refresh, but it really seems like it just needs a repair, rather than a new camera...
Being new to all of this, what tips do/thoughts /advice do you guys have?
Very excited about this new hobby though and it was inevitably going to happen at some point..actually quite amazed about how little damage there was for the impact..
I have attached a pic of the gimbal, you can see one side has a gap..
Also attached is a couple of pics I did manage to get on my first few flights! All unedited and straight out of the drone
Cheers, Bert
