Sorry to hear about your loss. do you have mavic care ?

Hang onto the dead batteries, the BMS controller board inside and the battery case may be valuable. Someday demand for battery refurbishment may prompt a service provider. Is the charging hub being used a genuine DJI?

Yes

I had a look, and you might be referring to silicon plates? "The construction of a single MEMS accelerometer uses stationary silicon plates and mechanical springs that respond to external forces" https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/articles/apply-sensor-fusion-to-accelerometers-and-gyroscopes...

I donk know about silicone grease. The crashes and fly-aways forum mentions that The IMU relies upon 3x accelerometer's, one each in the X, Y and Z plane. Each "MEMS" device outputs a voltage in proportion to the acceleration experienced. They can internally stick after a period of storage so...

Sorry to hear about the crash, Please post your logs. There are some articles describing a process where people have lightly tapped or rapped on the drone to un jam a "MEMS sensor" then they could recalibrate again. Maybe the logs can identify a stuck MEMS axis (X,Y or Z) and be a clue to what...

Hi Meta4 - I'm a fan of your posts, having read Crashes and Flyaway's cover to cover 1 Like you said "Only happen when within the limited range of the VPS" 2 yeah - he is flying to an island - I think its a good idea to ensure that you are making meters per second headway and not fruitlessly...

I would love to be in your position to explore islands like that: What about using a kayak/canoe? You're questions one by one: 1. Is there a risk I will still lose drone contact even if it says you can go 10 km distance ? The MA2 drone has got Ocusync and a claimed 10 km range plus your aiming...

Avoid crashes (yeah great advice I know), keep dirt, grass and sand etc out of the motors by using a landing pad Check motors for smooth rotation - compare them against each other for an odd one out Be gentle when replacing props The motors are really simple inside and the bearings are about all...

Welcome Craig, If you can get an MA1 or a similar performance drone plus a number batteries from someone who looked after the batteries Then you get a great drone with a key advantage being Its relatively powerful NB: Price would want to be right as batteries for the MA1 are becoming scarce and...

crash and fly away

Always sorry to hear abour a drone loss. But they can and have been found. Have you searched where advised?

Sorry to hear about your drone. When was the last time it was crashed please? If crashing has damaged a mems chip in imu. There is a proceedure for rapping/tapping on the drone that may unjam it. Then test fly low in an open grassed space. See anything you dont like, land it

Let us know how you go with the search. People do find their drones. Makes me smile when they do
