    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    Thank you for this! I'm curious how you managed to display this angle. Is that through airdata.com? The hills aren't extreme, but there are definitely some steep inclines, and I don't think that comes across in Google. For example, on the street where the drone crashed, the incline is steep...

    Repair advice for broken front arms of Mavic Mini?

    The thought occurred to me. That would definitely be on me though.

    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    You're right. Honestly, the only reason I was flying so high is that my area is fairly hilly and I wanted to account for the tallest trees and buildings (including after accounting for changes in elevation) when flying using the map. Any suggestions as to how I should be calculating minimum...

    Repair advice for broken front arms of Mavic Mini?

    I'm definitely thinking about it. If I try first with bi-component epoxy glue as m80116 suggested, and that doesn't yield satisfactory results, would it make it harder for you to fix?

    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    Looks like I bit off more than I could chew. Are there other DJI models that could handle similar wind speeds?

    Repair advice for broken front arms of Mavic Mini?

    I posted about my crash at Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?. I'm looking for advice on my repair options. I hope that this is the correct forum. I do not have DJI Care. As you can see, the left arm broke completely (wire is still attached, but the arm is broken) and...

    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    I hear that. Biggest screw up from pressing RTH is that it actually caused the drone to ascend to my RTH level (which was set pretty high to prevent the possibility of hitting anything). Now I have to decide if I'm going to pay to fix it (hopefully just the two arms) or completely replace it. Sigh.

    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    Very helpful. Even if the data is relative and not absolute (because of the profile that was used), the data does show a correlation between the increased wind speeds and my loss of control. I'm surprised there was that much wind because of wasn't that windy at all at ground level. It appears...

    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. Regarding my cancellation of RTH at 13 minutes, 23.6 seconds, I cancelled RTH there since the drone started moving backwards about two seconds before that. Was it wind that was causing it to be pushed back away from the home point? Are you seeing any wind data?

    Loss of control of Mavic Mini - Pilot error or malfunction?

    This happened last Sunday. I started my flight by ascending to 50 meters and setting the RTH height to 50 meters. I flew about 275 meters and came back. So far so good. Got an intermittent strong wind warning, but the wind didn’t appear to affect my flight, so I kept going (first mistake) and...
