    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    I should receive it back today. Have to hook it up and see if that flight is still in there. Then we can have a look. Interested to see more about this

    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    I don't know if that's been erased since it has been repaired/updated. Or do those files persist in the AC memory?

    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    I've been thinking about the analysis of this incident, what initiated it? What do you guys think? I have a few theories, but not sure how to prove what happened. The short period it seemed to regain a brief control but eventually spun out of control again was when I tried to gain control, but...

    Probably, they usually require you to return the dunked/crashed drone for any help

    Most likely. As long as you are able to recover the AC

    I'll let you know soon, DroneFly should be receiving it tomorrow and once they get a chance to assess what's needed to repair it.

    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    Too bad. I like Litchi a lot more than the DJI Go app, never a problem. It's already been sent off to be repaired. Didn't think much about it before packing it up. I was pretty pissed already by what had just happened. Lucky it didn't land in the river or a tree. My Refresh subscription was...

    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    Is the DAT file on the aircraft, or would it be on my phone (Android)? I was flying with Litchi, not DJI Go. I've already mailed it out going to Dronefly for repairs

    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    Could be, though difficult to know as they were broken upon crash impact. But it sure did act just like loss of 1 prop, spinning out of control

    Mavic bird strike (?) loss of control & crashed

    Well, it finally happened. I've owned my MP for about roughly 2 yrs, and had mostly problem-free flights. Yesterday I crashed, and suspicious this may have been a bird strike. Really bizarre, because I didn't have video recording during the flight to see what happened. I was just flying around...

    Lost my mavic

    Looks like the gimbal rubber supports are either broken or stretched due to your crash. I had to have mine replaced, it was flopping crazy the same way, much too loose and unstable. They put the replacement gimbal support bands in, now it is nice and firm and does not shake and slam around, good...

    DJI Go 4 Vs. Litchi for Mavic

    I have had nothing but headaches trying to get to DJI Go4 (esp latest versions) to work on Android. Tried rolling my phone OS back to 7.1.1 from 8.0 Oreo, but still too many problems. The breaking point was Go finally totally trashed its own FPV video feed right in fron tof me, 0 interference...
