    Good news! DJI got back to me and is covering this under warranty!

    No. MFI just tells Apple customers that their devices CAN work without issues. Doesn't mean they have to use it. DJI Crystal Sky runs on Android. Joe thought that the MFI certification meant that iOS devices were preferred by the manufacturer. (As the wording is unclear due to the label saying...

    The problem with the drone revolved around the IMUs and had nothing to do with the device used. MFI certification doesn't equate to "iOS only." I don't know where that idea came from, to be honest.

    Yep! That's the MFI certification. It lets consumers know that it will work with iOS devices.

    Just read it. That just tells people that the product is MFI certified. Has nothing to do on whether or not a product is better suited for the job or not.

    I hit the sticks for a little bit, just after the drone went out of control. I mostly kept my hands off to avoid messing with it. Also, where does DJI suggest using Apple products for their drones? sar104's analysis showed that the problem had to do with the IMUs disagreeing with the compass...

    The winds were decent for flying. Calm with the occasional gust. The drone was flying very well but had then pitched forward and took off straight into a tree from the park after hovering there for just a few seconds. I uploaded it to airdata just now.

    If the IMUs were in fact wrong, what could possibly cause something like that to happen to them in flight?

    Thanks for your analysis. I wonder what exactly caused this... I attached the DAT file below.

    Mavic Air Crashed. Curious as to what occurred.

    Greetings! My drone crashed and I recovered it (No longer flyable). I was flying in a park and then I saw the drone pitch forward a lot. It continued this way until ending up in a tree. Though I recovered it, I'm curious to see what exactly happened to cause the crash, whether it be pilot error...
