Judging from the huge number of crashes reported on these forums this looks like a great drone for many of us . For...
Hi, first post.
So I was out flying my mavic 2 pro on Saturday, when it hit a tree and backflipped into some water. It was only submerged for 3 seconds and when i got it out I turned it straight off and removed the battery. Nothing seemed to have stopped working at the time.
Straight away i...
Yes, it happened. I crashed my Mavic Air 2 after having it for 7 months. Unexpected crash, totally pilot error.
My drone will be replaced by DJI, as I have Care Refresh, so that's good news.
I learned from this that you need to look carefully both sides before orbiting an object, or flying...
Hello everybody. Just to share my experience with the snow here. I was flying in N mode. I did not like the M mode. Still not flying with that or rarely let's say. During the snow time we had good recordings/shooting. Here's how I crashed it into the snow :
The drone stopped itself...
Hello, yesterday I crashed my Mavic Air 2 into a light pole, and at first glance, it seems like it was 100% user error, but not quite so after I watched the video and the logs.
The drone fell to the ground from 1 meter height (crashed into the light pole sideways, when orbiting) and I was sure...
This is a "crash story" with a happy ending. It attests both to the durability of DJI drones and to the high level of DJI customer service...
In September, due to pilot error, I crashed my Mavic Air 2 into 50-ft-tall trees (height confirmed with the Flight Record). I could hear its Find My...
Hi,
So I went flying at the beach and from the start the Mavic Air was behaving weird. When I powered it up the controller was beeping but there were no error messages on my screen so I just restarted everything and the error was still there with no indication of what it was beeping for.
I...
Well...it happen again, but this time is broke its front/left leg, body shell (top, middle and battery door)
Apparently the cause of the crash was a loose screw and one of the propellers came off. (Lesson learned, always do a checklist before you fly..)
The drone was approx 200 feet in the air...
Hey guys, I want to make it quick so:
I crashed my brand new Mavic 3. It’s safe to say that the Mavic 3 in sport mode does not do well with trees and now the stand of the right front arm broke off. The led is still working and other than that nothing seems to be faulty. Motors are spinning...
Hello,
I've already noticed some tumble/jerk during my 2nd flight with some spontaneous gimbal/cam tilting down issues, it was absolutely scary. So I decided to do some 1-meter hover to see whether the tumble/jerk continues to happen.
And yep, it started to shake in the air like hell, and then...
So it happened, haven't had a drone go down in over 5 years and 2500 hours of flying. Was crawling along at 11mph at 220 feet and 60% battery getting some cinematic beachy sunset shots, its 7th flight and it just dropped like a brick, lost all power from what I could tell, last recorded flight...
HI Ya'll
I had an unfortunate event two days ago.
Flying my mini two to get a building shot, was distracted by a notification on the phone and then all of a sudden, my drone came crashing down as it hit the building sign 30ft.
I ran quickly and got force it to shut off, restarted the drone and...
I crashed a mavic mini in a creek over a year ago. Found it three days later still in water. Pulled it all apart to remove all the mud and cleaned it. Have not done anything else with it since.
The SD card had the footage from the day and there is a file from the last video I was recording when...
When I was waiting for my drone a few years back, I read and appreciated many of the posts here. Now that I have my own (happy so far) crash story, I figured I would share.
WARNING: This is not overly dramatic or exciting. The drone was found immediately. I'm posting an airdata link for anyone...
Hello Everyone, google pointed me in this direction for some help. Last night i was about to fly around Brooklyn, New York. I saw the ready status was all green and ready to go and took off. I straight went up 66 ft. saw a view of manhattan. And then slowly watched the drone take itself further...
Hello,
I bought a Mavic Mini one year ago, and until now I had no issues and was so happy with its performance, but the other day I just lost control of it while flying and it crashed into the water.
I don't know what happened, it was flying like always and then suddenly it started losing...

Here i share flight log:

So, after a year I have now lost my drone to the forest... I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I was too low for the terrain I was in (forest full of tall trees).
Nevertheless, could someone (possibly) give me some more info on what went wrong? What confuses me is that I was never able...
Hello there,
so here's the thing: after 3+ years of perfect flights with DJI Spark in every possible risky conditions, my new Mini 2 decided to crash on a wire above a swimming pool and take a deep dive on its third flight! Do you think we could call this "excess of self-confidence"...
Hello, I was flying my mini2 indoor and let it hover to take video and little did I know it was moving by itself and hit the wall.
I picked it up and it still works but a small silver/aluminum/stainless steel came out. I wonder if I should worry? and how difficult would that be to put it back on?
