I bought the kit for the goggles and I flew the Avata a few times, but without spending much more on the extra batteries, I don't see me using it much. I am more of a cinematic drone guy, so I am selling my Avata. I see them going for €500, so I am open to fair offers to anyone in Ireland. I...

I think I need to learn how to use the automated modes such as active track and autopilot. It is not just "point and click", trusting it to do what I would do. I need to learn what it does, what the programming tells it to do. I just assumed it would do what I thought it would do (stay to my...

There have been several reports of fly-aways and strange flight behaviour. A lot of the bugs have been addressed and fixed, but I have observed some "strange" "mind of its own" behaviour that can lead to issues, such as mine. It just went where I didn't tell it to go and crashed.

Hi @Hard2reed, I am sorry that happened to you. We never expect to crash, but much like car insurance, it is best to have, just in case. I am no expert, there are others here who can help you analyze the logs, but if it shows it was a malfunction, yes, DJI will send you another drone and honor...

Exactly, we need to monitor and not trust blindly. I had piloted the Mavic Mini and Mini 2 for years with no crashes, so no excuses for me. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself! For that, I have Care Refresh. To the landmarks I go make more videos for my channel!

My drone just came back and suprise, surprise. I paid for a repair, but I got a NEW DRONE. I managed to de-classify it despite being January 2nd, so I'm happy. Don't let the box fool you, I just got a new drone, no N2 controller inside :D Lesson learned: don't trust OA 100%. It is good, it...

I had not realised that! Thank you, I will be more careful next time. I did put it in sports mode due to strong gusts but i thought i had put it back to Normal. I didn't know OS didnt work in sports mode.

That is true. I should have updated. However, since the drone was close to me, I could override the RTH and land the drone immediately. It was not far off the ground and only a few meters away from me. I usually update the home point when I walk about, but that day I just forgot to do it. Good...

That is sad. There should be a policy to replace the drone with the same characteristics as the previous one. In any case, let's see what happens. This whole 120m limit from takeoff and not from the ground is a joke. Thanks for the reply

Hi fellow pilots. I am in doubt about an aspect of the Care Refresh. I currently own a DJI Mini 4 Pro that I have de-classified from the C0 label to allow me over the 120m limitation. However, said drone crashed and was sent to DJI to inspect. In case they send me a new drone, in case mine is...

I suppose so, I mean, they are not built to withstand crashes, so they can be under 250g.

It is surely possible. Again, I "told" the drone to follow me to my back left, so it should not have been anywhere near those trees. If it did hit a tree, I have no idea why it was there. Also, it fell to the left of the path, opposite side to the trees when I found it. It was not under the trees.

Sorry @slup I had not seen your message and analysis. That is brilliant how you plotted that. As you can see, I set the drone way to my back left so that it would be nowhere near the trees. The only part where the trees overhang the path is right in the begining, and I flew past those just in...

Tell me how to share that and I will :) I am not sure into what it crashed. I would think if it were a twig, it would just stop and drop or something, but there was quite some damage, so I think it might have colided with a light pole.

No wires at all. All the wires in that particular part of the park are underground. I do always stay well away from wires, of any kind. I often fly over the train lines but keep well away from the over power wires, for example. I have been there several times, I love walking in that park. Here...
