    You summarized my feelings in two sentences. I’m fortunate I did a ton of reading up on this bugger. I didn’t remember there was an emergency shutoff until about 700 meter up. Took me 100 meters to remember the joystick commands to make it happen. Thank goodness for the refresh plan - which I...

    That’s a really good thought. I guess it is possible. I don’t think I did, but I’m open to just about any ideas lol.

    Hah. Agreed. I’ve found out a lot of interesting stuff about my drone.

    That’s what I thought he was referring to - the bottom sensors for landing.

    Once the rotors were killed I still had control of the gimbal for some reason.

    No fog/smoke or any bad conditions. It was a clear day and it wasn’t windy. Once the drone was up that high I did get some rough weather alerts though.

    Sorry. I was referring to the FLY0 files I haven’t been able to locate. on another note - I did email DJI. I wanted to bring this to their attention. I think this was a one time minor glitch, but I’d like to rule out a defective drone. I will keep this thread posted with the...

    I was messing with the gimbal, so I could see where it was crashing. I do see the data file in the DJI app. It’s weird that when I download the text files on my PC that they’re slightly different.

    sorry. Try copying and pasting this. “https://fb.watch/1uSWyz7L4r/“ remove the quotes. I included quotes so the forums wouldn’t automatically make it a link with a video preview.

    I literally talked myself out of buying the refresh. I bought it my second day of having it. Just in time. I’m very glad I did, even though I don’t need it yet.

    Here is the video you requested. Keep in mind I didn’t start the video until about 10-20 seconds into the free fall.

    I pushed it because it was unresponsive to the controls. I thought maybe it would return home with the RTH button.

    Thanks! that RTH was me. I immediately updated my home point and attempted to initiate it a couple of times. It just ignored me. I appreciate your insight. Very informative! to answer a previous question on here. I finally watched the entire free fall video. Roughly 1:15 seconds of free fall.
