    Oh god that sucks. What's going on with the gimbal?

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Yeah I remember thinking "That's the quickest I've ever lost $800." Then I started looking at the map. I was pretty nervous about walking out on the lake, but I took my brother with me just in case lol. The find my drone feature in the app was really helpful. Took me to the exact spot. It...

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Icing makes the most sense to me. I did watch some other drone videos on youtube that showed icing, and they didn't just fall out of the air suddenly like mine did, so I'm still not 100% certain. There wasn't really any wind while I was out, at least not at my location. Over the lake might...

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Thanks for looking into it. That csv is hard to read, but I saw what you were talking about. I emailed DJI support to let them know, I'll report back here if they let me know anything further. Thanks again!

    Low light flying with the Mavic pro

    I'm not sure how the camera performs as I haven't flown in too low of light, but I filmed a sunset and had no issues. I do know that if there's not enough light, the sensors warn they may not be able to detect collisions

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    I found the logs, but I'm not entirely sure what to make of them. I see the motor obstructed error, but the altitude never changes during it's fall. DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com Hopefully that link works for you

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Looks like itunes is required to view the full log, so I'll do this when I get home, thanks a lot :)

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Good info. Makes me feel better to know a reason for the fall, rather than having some uncertainty. Thanks!

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Correct, I checked it all out. I've flown it for another 20 minutes since and it's handled perfectly. I'm just nervous because it was handling perfectly right until it fell in the first place lol. It could have been icing, the air in the video does look a bit foggy, and at that temp ice...

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Yeah I don’t see anything either, and there were no feathers down below when I found the drone haha. It was cold, maybe around 20 degrees, and it was a bit foggy, but I also didn’t notice any icing or anything like that either. I’m just a bit scared to fly it around currently

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    I’m on the latest firmware. When I look at the flight log, right before it goes down I see “Warning: Motor obstructed.” Not entirely sure what could have obstructed it though

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Hey all, it was suggested that I post this here. I was flying my new Mavic air out a ways and hit return to home to bring it back. Everything seemed normal, but 30 seconds into the return to home function, the drone seems to have flipped over. There was no wind alert or any warnings. The...
