Ok, good to know! I was worried about that too at first, but checking the logs shows that I actually pull back on the stick right after it lurches forward. It seems that it completely ignored this command, or I input it too late. I'll start launching and landing w/ the drone facing away from...

@slup Thank you for such a detailed analysis! I had no idea how much data got logged during a flight and it's really neat to be able to look at it all. When you say "DJI might take this as the gyro also feed in data to the IMU", do you mean DJI might accept this as a glitch rather than entirely...

You're very right and I plan to change how I fly in the future (ie increasing situational awareness). Glad there's no worry about seeming argumentative :) As for other questions, do you feel it is irresponsible to fly in the cold so long as you know your batteries are pre-heated and won't drop...

Thank you for your detailed reply! Your guess is very reasonable, but incorrect. I have taken the TRUST this summer and did not print out the certificate when I did, but decided to re-take it just now. I acknowledge that I broke the VLOS rules, for which I take full responsibility, but I didn't...

at time 9m 51.6s, the stick is up because I'm slowly bringing the drone toward the building, I got about 3 feet away (which I have done on several previous flights with no issues, though I see now it's a foolish decision), then started to lower it. I believe the crash happened around time 10m...

You're right, it wasn't. I flew outside while piloting from inside (it was too cold to be piloting outside). I just posted a link to a video that should help illustrate the situation better. Where should I look to find that .txt file?

Here is a video of the crash. I spoke with a DJI support person who suggests I just send it in to have them look at it. I have some experience with electronics so I'm not adverse to opening it up to look for the ribbon cable connection like @Artemis suggested, but I really don't want to void the...

Is this a helpful flight log or should I be getting a different one? I'm a bit new to this if you can't tell. The good news is that the gimbal does its little startup routine of testing the motors and range of motion (calibration I guess??), and I can receive video feed, it's just that I can't...

Hi, I was flying my Mini 2 earlier from inside my house and while hovering next to the window, the drone, pitched forward as if I had put the right stick all the way up and to the left. Part of the front cracked, and I'm getting an error saying the gimbal is unable to connect. Any advice? I've...
