Just wanted to update on the issue. Sent all the data to DJI who called me 3 days later to tell me it was not pilot error and they were covering the repair under warranty. Brought it to my local drone shop, it was fixed for free in 24 hours. Still not 100% sure what the issue was, the drone shop...

I think that is probably the most likely explanation. But no mention on app, and the sensors didn't detect the wall. That's a lot of combined problems for what should have been a simple shot. Re calmar81, no power lines and the staff said there shouldn't be much metal but could have been. And...

Screenshot from a shot right after, the drone crashed against that wall, in the red circle. Sensors were for sure activated, unless tripod mode automatically deactivates them, but they were working perfectly fine 30 minutes before. If the sensors can't sense a wall like that, they probably can't...

I always leave them on. Can the sensors switch off automatically ? Definitely nothing like WIFI or radio system that could have interfered with the system. I flew for 2 days in the area, connection was perfect all the time, not a problem. Except on that flight. I've never had a problem where...

Yes, the overhead obstruction is because the drone flipped after hitting the wall. So the "overhead" was the ground. Basically 1 second before crashing into it.

That's the biggest question for future shoots. It was a huge concrete wall, obstacles don't get bigger than that. And sensors did absolutely nothing. It just went straight for the wall.

Thanks for your answer. I've flown indoor many times, with no satellite, only Vision. Neither my old Phantom 4 or the Mavic 2 has ever done something like this before. This wasn't a slight drift by 1 or 2 meters but at least 4 or 5 without stopping (and in tripod mode). With 15 satellites active...

Hi everyone, first post on the forum (and first crash) after 3 years with DJI drones. My 2 months old Mavic Pro 2 decided to do some drifting today and crashed in a wall. I was shooting between two factory buildings at a low height (corporate shoot) and instead of hovering like normal, the...
