All - thanks for the feedback.

The heights of the crash site could be questionable? or the heights of the Mavic? Assuming its the former (as the mavic heights are given in the logs) then I am confident the terrain is as described, I am not local so cannot get further pictures (the one above happens to be on google street...

I will get some pics to post up and yes - I too was surprised at the impact it had took and still flew, as well as both rear props being less than half their usual size.

I agree that there wasn't enough margin for error - hindsight of course. Would you really expect a drop of 6m without the Mavic detecting it? I wonder if being in sport mode was contributory - IE, in normal mode would the forward sensors have increased the altitude automatically.

Thanks for taking the time to look at the log and report back. Please don't mis-understand, I am not saying that it wasn't user error, it could well have been but I couldn't see how based on the logs and what I saw. My mistake - 60 feet should read 6m, sorry. He works in feet, me in meters...

If you have the luxury of having a dedicated device for the mavic then as much as I hate to say it, get an Apple product. I am not an apple fan (far from it) but their devices seem to work better with the mavic in all respects when using the DJI GO 4 app. Always used a Galaxy Note 4 but then I...

Hi All My Dad, my brother and all have Mavic's and have been regularly flying them since early 2017. I have used this website in the early days - thanks to all contributors. I am hoping someone will be able to give me and my Dad an insight into why his Mavic appeared to drop out of the air...

I got mine from Model and Hobby world in Lancaster - my brother has just got his today too so I know they are coming through to the dealers now (slowly). My wife had her name on the list for quite some time but the service we received was excellent. Worth a try, by the way I have no...

Thanks for that, I definitely don't have that icon between the clips. How annoying. Do you mind if I use your screen shot and start a new thread to discuss?

You mentioned you uninstalled the DJI go app then installed the DJI go 4 app. I am sure I read in the manual (although it could have been elsewhere as I have read so much over the 4 days since getting my drone) that both apps need to be installed. .... What's the general opinion on this?

Yeah using android. I have a galaxy note 4. Maybe that's it then. ...

Great video, see the weather is still nice down thereally. I am up on the west coast in Lancashire today, too windy to fly

Hmm, thanks for that. There must be something I am doing wrong as I cannot see a vertical bar except the one with numbers on and cannot click on this. ..

Yes I was lucky with the weather. I was very nervous going over the river on day 2!

Ah OK thanks for the advice. I had looked in the manual and it says something along the lines of 'use when necessary' so wasn't exactly sure what that meant. Thanks again
