I was noticing one part in the data where the left stick moved slightly left which probably reset the 3-4 second cutoff command. I had engaged the cutoff when it struck the object but released thinking it was likely eating grass with broken props. But then I saw the drone began going up and...

impact with lawn mower appears to have occurred at 9min 12.5 secs. How it went from 2 feet to over 9 feet with both sticks in the shut down position is really a mystery.

No it was about 20 feet from me no RTH was requested. My best guess is it detected hitting an object and it may have slowed a motor to a point it was attempting to recover itself and hover but it quite simply should not have been gaining altitude or spinning away while the control sticks were...

First Mavic mini flight misjudged distance from a lawn mower so drone hit the handle of the mower and began to flutter toward the ground (emergency kill method by sticks in toward bottom center was applied.) To my surprise it rebounded up took back to the sky spinning up toward the canopy of...

Anyone near here have a flat bottom john boat or flying rig for retrieving a mavic pro? Asking for a friend.

I received a set of white and black mas props. They move freely and arent tight due to any manufacturing errors. I still manually unfold them just because the props are wider than stock. The drone seems much more stable in hover "think locked in place", has a bit more climb speed in regular...

Since both are flying bricks here is the delima. 2018 version perceived to be newer but has shorter wiring to motors has been reworked and supposibly gimbal was repaired. 2017 version factory length motor wiring and original internal quality. The camera gimbal ribbon I repaired with after...

Strange let me get a photo of the 2017 version to post it appears this one had quite a bit more than just a gimbal repair in its past. They both fly but the wiring on the 2017 model is factory since the ends are not burnt and the motor wiring is less stretched. I am trying to determin which is...

The 2018 was a dji refreshed version but supposibly just for gimbal error. The 2017 had a gimbal error also but its internals look better abd I felt it flew better in some way so it makes me feel as if the newer repaired version is not the same quality.

I looked at the wiring and solder to the ESC's on a 2017 model mavic pro and a 2018 version. There was a visual difference in the wiring length type of glue used to secure the wiring from vibrtions and quality of the wiring at the soldered areas (jacket being burnt a bit etc.) The newer model...
