Thank you. Those were the only numbers I could find when opening my app. I downloaded the latest firmware earlier this week, but can't remember what number it was and can't find a reference for it in the app. Is there a way to view which firmware version is installed, i.e., a way to verify that...

See my thread. Apparently it happened to me first. As for those critical of using the auto takeoff feature, the relevant issue is Firmware and Safety (to both the aircraft and public), not the philosophy of automatic anything. Motor Stop and Crash in Auto Takeoff Mode

Oh!? what other problems?

Thanks. I've submitted the online form. Frustratingly (at least when using Safari browser; maybe I should have tried Chrome or Firefox) the word fields for describing the problem, etc. limit one to a tweet-like level of communication. Awaiting UPS shipping label and will call the telephone...

I would not fly it at all with this new firmware, unless you want to test it in a safe (-ish) manner and report your findings.

It's frightening to realize through a witnessed event that it's possible (despite it not being a GoPro Karma) that a programming bug can cause something this bad. Who knows what combination of inputs could cause the same thing to happen, but from a high altitude and beyond reach, or worse...

I agree. I'm hoping/assuming the service plan will make it happen faster.

That sounds familiar, except for the gimbal damage. Did you notice if the drone tipped up at the moment just before the motors cut-out? In hindsight, I can't be sure if it tipped up an instant before cut-out or as the immediate result of the power loss, but I seem to remember it as the former.

My reason for trying the auto takeoff (for the first time since purchase a month ago) was simply to explore the functionality of the app and see if it might be useful to me. Whether or not the feature is a good idea to have or use, is separate from the fact that there is a fatal and potentially...

See the thread I started regarding this fatal bug: Motor Stop and Crash in Auto Takeoff Mode

Thank you to all who have contributed. It appears that there are now three others who have experienced this fatal bug. I've asked the author of the below to see this thread. Take off error

A few days ago I installed the most recent firmware update and now have aircraft version 01.03.0000 and app version 3.1.1. The following incident occurred earlier today during my first attempt to fly since the update. I have made several flights in the past 30 days without incident. However...
