Dang, that I didn't know. I had the drone here for a couple weeks after the incident too...I wish I'd known how to get that. I do have the memory card here, but they don't appear to be stored on the memory card - is that correct? I think the spot where the USB would plug in to the aircraft was...

Nope, wasn't me. Shoot. I think if I can't find a Mavic Pro cheap I'll just buy the Air 2S and sell off my accessories. Thanks for the input everyone!

Interesting - do you mind me asking why? I’m really tempted to just buy the one referenced above, or find another used one and snag it. It really was a great drone, and did everything I wanted it to (I use the Skydio for “follow me” recordings so I’m not bothered that the Mavic sucks at this).

The flight log doesn’t have any of that info because it was disconnected from the remote and my phone. The only flight log I know of is what lives on the phone, and when I looked at that it has no data after the disconnect (at which point it was flying just fine). Is there something hidden on...

I’ll be in touch - this is appealing.

Yeah, that’s one thing I’m considering for sure.

I’m happy to post it for you. I’m not an idiot and I know what happened- I think I explained it in the first post. I let a 1,500 foot call rock get between me and drone, so it disconnected and the drone couldn’t find a path back. As such it tried to land on a Boulder field and tumbled down the...

So, unfortunately after many, many trips flying all over the world my Mavic Pro has unfortunately flown its last flight. You can read more here, but DJI wants $860 to fix it and that just doesn't make sense considering it's a 5 year old drone. My question now is, what do I replace it with? I...

Well, the flight log isn't worth a **** because it stopped logging after the drone disconnected from the phone. I wasn't recording at the time, so no video of the accident. DJI quoted me $859 to repair the drone, which makes absolutely no sense. They did say they would send a revised quote that...

That’s good to hear. I did get a shipping label and will send it in. I don’t expect them to repair it for free. I guess if I can get it repaired for under $300 I’ll do that... if it’s more then I’ll just sell off all the accessories and batteries and get the new Mavic Pro 2. I wish I could...

How much did they charge for the repair, and how long did it take?

I have to admit - I thought someone would chime in with experience in getting the drone repaired, either by DJI or by someone else. Nobody reading this has experience with that?

I will pull the memory card today and see if it happened to be recording, and if I can figure out how to grab a flight log as well. It was really pretty amazing - I never thought in a million years I'd find it, but thought I'd keep some of the teenage boys occupied for a few minutes with an...

Yeah, I know VLOS is a thing. I've been flying this drone all over the world for 5 years, and have flown up to 23k feet away before! Crazy, I know. I haven't taken the memory card out yet to see if any video can be recovered, but I don't think it was filming at the time. I will certainly check...

TLDR: I was flying my drone (OG Mavic Pro) the other day when it got a weak signal notification, then disconnected. The drone never "returned home". I found it later in the flight path it was taking on it's return to home, when it either flew straight in to a rock wall or attempted to land in a...
