Mavic Pro / Crashed after take off

[facasi]

Hello,

Today I flew my mavic twice without any issue. On the third one the Mavic took off and started to fly like crazy and crashed in a wall, everything happened in no more than 25 seconds. No mayor damages, only the left back leg is a little bit off.

What could cause this crash? Everything was fine before taking off, Satellites, GPS.. Also I was an auto take off.

You might want to check prior posts... there have been issues with auto takeoff.

Thanks, I will. Just in advance, is this something DJI is taking care off ?

Really? Bummer. I was gonna use it to hand launch cuz I saw that short vid that made it seem ideal.

Whats your firmware version and your app version?

Whats your firmware version and your app version?

Firmware: V01.03.0600
App: 4.0.7

IOS, huh?

Personally, I feel there is something screwy with firmware .600... just rolled back to .550

So, is this something DJI should be responsible for the crash ?

I made all the pre-fly check list and everything was ok. This happened in no more than 3 meters height and 25 seconds.

I would suggest you send in your flight log here for the experts to look at before we point fingers at .600 as the real culprit...

I just looked at your flight log, and your joystick controls where erratic. That's also when the drone began to move.
Did the drone fly into the wall backwards? It looks you steered it there.

The drone was turning without steering, not hovering in place; when I noticed I began to try to controlled without luck.

I'll have a closer look later, but it looks like you ended up steering the drone into the wall yourself.

 

[facasi]

If I did it it was because of the erratic movements that the drone was making by itself.

In your video it
looks like that tab is broke or bent where the left arm meets the body. It seems to be a weak point that fails when crashed.

It's broken and eventually needs repair. You can either have DJI fix it, or you can do it yourself. Be warned the DIY is involved and requires a soldering iron.
