    DJI Mini 3 Unknown Crash

    Just conducted a test flight with stock props. Seems to fly alright, will keep an eye on it for awhile. Thank you everyone for your help!

    DJI Mini 3 Unknown Crash

    That's definetly a possibility. The drone must have moved out of the gimbal's range during the roll, because for a split second, I saw a weird uncontrolled movement on my phone. Also, holding that thought, the rest of the crash couldve been user error, because the gimbal flipped all the way...

    DJI Mini 3 Unknown Crash

    this makes sense...it also makes me wonder if I did some user error as well. if you look at the crash video, from the camera angle, it looks as though the drone was flying forward and to the right, and if you look at my stick movements, i was doing the exact opposite, full backwards and left...

    DJI Mini 3 Unknown Crash

    I was relatively low, when the motor error occured, and Ive flown in windy conditions maybe hundreds of times before with no issues. I dont think the high altitude ascent had anything to do with the motor error. Ive flown the mini 3 quite a bit, and know what its capable of, the strong wind...

    DJI Mini 3 Unknown Crash

    The prop didn't snap until the impact, as it was found next to the drone, i forgot to add that detail.

    DJI Mini 3 Unknown Crash

    Was enjoying a flight with my mini 3 today, hovering over a park, when suddenly I get a message on my controller, "Motor Unable to Rotate" So I decide to bring it in. It then starts acting very wonky, flying all over the place, and the controls feel odd. I was doing my best to keep it over grass...

    Mavic Air 2 Obstacle avoidance issue

    Finally got a chance to calibrate the sensors (twice) and do a test flight. Overcast, slight wind, and very slight drizzle. (not enough to impede flying) Had the same result for a few minutes, jerky flight forward, until I turned OA off. Continued flying, and the issue seemed to stop (Although...

    Mavic Air 2 Obstacle avoidance issue

    I thought about re calibrating, but I thought it would give me a warning if it needed it, but I'll try it and see what happens. Thanks!

    Mavic Air 2 Obstacle avoidance issue

    Having an odd issue with the obstacle avoidance on my mavic air 2. When flying forward, the obstacle avoidance sensors seem to detect something, which causes the drone to jerk back and forth, and many times it wont even fly full speed with full stick applied. This does not happen when the...

    Mavic Mini gimbal problem

    Yeah, I was hoping to find a simple solution, but what can i expect when it comes to DJI drones, which are very complex machines. I guess my only option is to send it dji. I really don't trust myself to open it up, as I feel I would make things worse. Thanks for your help though! 👍

    Mavic Mini gimbal problem

    Yeah, thats's one of the reasons I don't want to get into the DJI mess. At my age, it's going to be hard to do it. Do you think there is a possible fix/cause?

    Mavic Mini gimbal problem

    Had an accident with my mavic mini. 2nd time something bad has happened to it since i got it last july. Anyways, there is a problem with the gimbal. When I turn the drone on, the gimbal goes through its normal diagnostic start-up procedure (rolling back and forth to check gimbal motors) but...
