Thank you guys! I just wanted to confirm that he did hit the building. Thanks!

Hello Guys [I am looking at you @sar104] I have a friend who took his drone out to fly and yes took off from concrete. I have attached the .DAT and .TXT files. From what I can tell, there were a few GPS errors early on as well as just before the crash, but I was wondering if he hit the...

Sadly, the drone has already left to the drone hospital, I would have done the repairs myself but no one could ship me the parts before a week-long holiday here and since I'm off to a trip needed it done quick and easy. Both the front sensors were broken, the gimbal also had a problem and the...

Hey guys, Since you guys were so helpful with finding my drone (im looking at you @sar104) - I've been talking about this forum a whole bunch with the community here in Shanghai. A guy in our group said he lost his Mavic Air into a creek, wasn't able to get it back. But out of curiosity, I...

Here’s the video!

UPDATE: I got my drone back in my hands today and pulled out the SD card. I was wrong, I had set all my settings correctly (RTH sensors were on) but I guess I had miscalculated the total height of the tower (by a few meters). I am not sure how to post videos on this forum, but if you have...

I know you do a lot more in-depth stuff with other lost drones (wind,altitude, etc.) but how did you analyze the .dat files? Do you use a specific program? Thanks again 1000 times!

It was running yes - once I get the bird back, I will try and post it on this thread! Its a mavic pro! But yes, @sar104 is a beast! Haha! I am sure he has been given one before!

A positive recovery! First of all, I can't thank this forum enough, but especially @sar104 - he's always been so helpful at helping figure things out! They found the drone today at 3:00 PM exactly where he said it would be, on the second ring of the tower. From my understanding, it must have...

I will ask the guards to go check, I am guessing its on the second ring above the elevation deck! I hope they will let us in again; Thanks so much and I will let you know as soon as possible!

Your assumptions are correct, Mavic Pro. Sadly, it didn't circle back no, and it did a straight line as you mentioned. I am hoping it would be on the I am waiting on see sar104's analysis as he has a pretty good recovery rate from this forum!

Thanks! And I appreciate all the feedback really, I hope I find it as well!

I've been posting a lot of drone videos lately! Drew Drones (@drew.drones)

The RTH was set at 200M (663.4 feet) which was higher than the large observatory deck, but not the entire tower (my error), must have clipped something that was on the roof of the observation deck. Its surely not a panacea but had I turned the function of hovering, I could of potentially ran...
