After 7 years of flying, I have broken my first blade. Immediately after take off, the drone (Mavic Pro) switched itself into 'atti mode' and within seconds had hurled itself backwards into a wall. Once on the floor, I saw that it was once more in GPS mode. No flight possible though, as blade...

Whatr an incredible story! Thanks for sharing it.

Just out of interest, this is a picture I took as the drone was decending on auto landing. ..to help me find it more than anything. Miraculously, it landed itself on the small square piece of grass between the red car and the garage. It was on an open driveway that I could walk to without...

Well the drone is well out of warranty now anyway, but yes, lesson learned. Got it as it was new, and the only DJI ones I could find were second hand, so I figured a new one would be better, but not so.

Thanks!! I got it from Amazon with a 28 day return policy - sending it right back today and have left a one star review with explanation.

Thanks @Meta4 . Done that. Link here. DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com You'll see that all was normal until 7 minutes 2 seconds, when the battery went from 77% to 8% within the space of 5 seconds. 1.8 km from base and over a residential area, so not the best. Luckily it landed...

Yes, recharged a couple of days before. It had been used for a flight 10 days earlier, but other than that, was new.

This happened to me today, for the first time with my Mavic Pro. A new non-DJI battery - the flight was normal until shortly into the return leg of the flight, at which point the drone was around 1.8km away and had 70% battery on the screen. This suddenly dropped to 8%, putting the drone into...
