crash

This is my first post in this forum. I initially posted my story on the DJI forum and somebody suggested I post a link here as some people might find this interesting. The full details are in the DJI post, but long story short: I lost my drone flying in a famous scenic spot in China (Tiger...

Anyone want to list there drone crashes and why they happend. I am looking for help as a beginner pilot on not crashing / avoiding things like popup rain storms. (Also, How to avoid bird attacks?)

So I was flying my Mini 4 Pro one day over a lake, getting some footage, and It was pretty cloudy, but nothing to indicate a storm. Suddenly rain came, and so I immediately started flying the drone back (I was maybe 1200 - 800ft out when it started). I was only 15ft from land when I got a motor...

Hello all, I've crashed my recent purchase a couple of times now. I'm new to FOV and the drone has held up okay, I only need to replace a gimbal damper (which I'm waiting in DJI to inform me whether that is available, fingers crossed). I have a 2 part question: 1. Im used to obstacle avoidance...

Hello everyone, A few weeks ago when I was making some shots of my college, I accidentally hit a tree branch which led to my drone crashing down. The drone seemed fine, it could still fly and the gimbal still moved freely (at least on first inspection). When I recorded some footage after the...

Hello all, Am hoping to get some assistance please in regard to a flight with my Air 3 a few hours ago. Was about a minute or two into a flight when I noticed on the RC2 the drone seemed to flip sideways or upside down and I thought it was about to go down into the river below. It then suddenly...

I apologize for this being so long winded. So I have dug and dug and I can only find a thread of one other having this same issue, and there was never a resolution. I received the drone in pieces for free to see if I could rebuild it. I replaced all 4 arms, the chassis, the gimbal arm, and...

I had my first emergency crash landing with my Air 2S today. I was taking pictures of a log cabin in a forest with trees all over, so I had to disable the obstacle avoidance to get closer to the trees. As I was inching forward between a branch and the roof, the drone just took off forward and I...

Hi! I recently tried flying my drone, and then gimbal started making weird noises and the video is jello (ing?). Here is a video I have edited to show the problem in detail. I had no crashes that could connect to this issue. (video uploaded to onedrive, no need to sign in). The video details...

Hello, I was flying my DJI Mini 3 pro over the fields round the back of my house yesterday. I then got some warning on my screen about something to do with battery temperatures. My drone was about 350ft up and 500ft out (I could see it) when it just exploded. It was quick and it broke apart in...

Hello guys, I have a DJI mini 2 drone that I crashed recently. I tried to fly in a city which was a BIG mistake even though I have done it before without any incidents. At first, before takeoff, everything was ok. After takeoff the drone lost and regained connection to the remote a bunch of...

I just received the Mavic Mini 3 Pro and I'm using the RC Pro Remote that I also use with my Mavic 3. The first flight went mostly smoothly, except for one issue. When I initiated the Return to Home (RTH) function, the drone wanted to land 3 meters away from the starting point, which wasn't as...

So yesterday, I was going to fly my Mini SE around for a bit. I did a manual takeoff, but it appeared to take much longer than usual to takeoff. I didn't think much of it until I pressed the left joystick up to make the drone go higher, and it didn't do anything. Out of instinct, I also pressed...

Took my Mini 3 Pro out for a quick flight with some new prop guards yesterday (lots of trees on my property), and wanted to test the obstacle avoidance out to make sure it would stay away from hazards when flying at low altitudes (I was using Cinema mode). Wanting to see how close it would get...

I have a Mavic Air 2. 50km flight total and 425 minutes. Really enjoy flying it both shooting photo and LOS. Yesterday did a shoot of a family event and when I was done “tripodding” I went to sport mode and went around to make a pass by in front of everyone. The drone just stopped working mid...

Hi all, As above, anyone remember a YouTube video posted on here of a guy flying (I think) a mavic mini and testing the RTH over land, it almost made it back but dropped out of the sky just before it made it back?

Hi MP friends, apologies if this has been asked, but I searched and didn't see anything stand out that was a good summary help. Also, I humbly come to you after crashing my DJI Mavic 2 Pro after almost 4 years of flying (and having my Part 107 for around 3 years) in the US. What I'm curious to...

Hello, after four years of filming in mountains in high altitudes, my drone dissapeared. If you could give me your thoughts what went wrong based on description and flight log I would be very happy, even if this does not bring the drone back. I was filming in Austria about 2200 metres above...

Hello all! 2 days ago I crashed my drone. Long story. Anyways I can’t find the dang thing. In my flight log it shows the yellow flight path and then shows where the path stops and the drone continues. Why did the yellow stop? Is it estimating where it landed? How accurate is this? It even shows...

Hello, I crashed my dji mini 2 today, via flying into a palm tree and not knowing what was above me, judging on based by the damage it looks like I only I need shell repair kit, considering that the retractable arm are intact, and NO I do not have DJI care for this Drone.
