Update: It's aliiiive! Frankendrone is back. The arm pivot spring finally arrived from 'Manchester' after nearly two weeks (thanks eBay). Calibrated the vision sensors, calibrated the compass, and took it out to a nice open field. Auto take off this time, let the drone do the work, and it's...

I thought I had enough room to work! Trying to rescue the drone I was on top of my 4x4 roof, me (6 foot 3) and a six foot branch and I was still nowhere near reaching the drone where it was stuck in the branches. While it wasn't completely clear overhead my logic was that a launch from the...

Hello all, While repairing my MP1 I've come unstuck looking for a replacement front axis shaft that doesn't come from China. It's the last piece I need to finish the repair so was hoping to find somewhere that wasn't going to take 3 weeks to arrive! Does anyone know of a UK based seller who...

Update: Partial success! Stripped the camera and gimbal down to bare parts, and after careful installation of the new cables and new thermal paste, the camera appears to be stable, I've got a video feed, and the gimbal responds to tilt commands from the remote. All four arms replaced with...

Update: The drone arrived back from the repair company (not really worth the diagnostic fee to be honest as it was just a visual inspection and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know). Stripped down, removed all four arms, gimbal, gimbal mount. Both gimbal cable and video cable were...

So got a quote back from drone doctor today, £591!!!! I only paid 620 for the drone in the first place, so that's a no go unfortunately.

That's the file I converted to txt log and put on pastebin (see post above)

I don't take off until I get a GPS lock, what was odd was that the drone stopped responding to the controller and just kept climbing.

Uploaded the log file, no data found by the tool. Raw dump is here: 2.204 : {root}INFO:lib_route_init ok 2.205 : {root}INFO:link_host_init ok.|| 2 - Pastebin.com

It has only taken off a second before. Any ideas why the controller would disconnect like that? Full battery on both devices. I was standing about 4 ft away from the drone, next to a field, no power lines etc nearby

Went to take off this morning, as I was taking off the controller stopped responding and the drone flew straight up into tree branches about 20 foot up. When it eventually fell out of the tree it landed on concrete and broke both front arms. The gimbal now fails to respond properly as well. Am...

Had three batteries worth of steady flight since the downgrade/reset. It may be worth a try if you're still having issues.

For what it's worth I did a downgrade to .400, factory reset. Took it out for two batteries and it behaved fine.

I've had an almost identical issue with my Mavic today. Galaxy S8 as well. I've downgraded to .400 and will let you know if that helps at all.
