Well, I suck. In less than 14 days and on my 52nd minute of flight time with my new Mavic 3 Classic I flew it right into a tree and destroyed it. 3 of 4 propellers were destroyed and the Gimbal housing cracked open like an egg. Sure glad I purchased the refresh plan.
I already have a DJI Mini 3 Pro. Crashed that one once already too. But one of the big selling points for the DJI Mavic 3 was its omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. I know it's not foolproof on any drone. I especially know that now. But I'm curious to hear your thoughts on why it failed in this specific instance:
Go ahead, let me have it, but you're not going to hurt my feelings. I already know how much I suck, how my flying sucks, and what an idiot I am.
I'm disappointed that the obstacle avoidance failed, but at least now I know from first-hand experience how unreliable it is.
Just curious to hear people's thoughts on what fooled the AI in this instance. Is there any chance this was a device malfunction? Or am I 100% at fault?
Here's a link to the flight log I uploaded to phantomhelp: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
Thanks!
