crash

I started flying over a river in Illinois yesterday from a bluff about 100’ above water level. At 2:29 into the flight as I was turning to fly up stream over a spillway I got a sudden loss of connection 0.3 seconds after warning of weak connection. I was at about 100 feet above the water (log...

Hi there, new to mavicpilots but to not drones. This is my 3rd Mavic but my first major crash I can’t obviously explain (ie non obvious pilot error) Day 1 with M2Z, just activated it and made a test fight in the neighborhood. Max distance 300’, altitude 100’. On the way back home from I was...

I did a compilation of 20 crash of the DJI Mavic Mini drone. Several piloting errors by unconscious or overly reckless pilots. There are also many with device issues. This device is wonderful but you have to be careful because it does not have any obstacle detection radar during flight. If you...

Hello community, I'm new here, I hope to find some help after I couldn't find anything helpful in Google. At my last flight I used my mavic pro platinum as a trypod, the whole flight I just had it hovering in front of my girlfriend and me to get a few photos. After we were done I took the...

Fellow Pilots I own Mavic Air 1 that I fly very occasionally, and I have noticed a strange behaviour of my drone. Although the default obstacle avoidance options are ON, the drone has a tendency to approach obstacles when closeby. When that happens, I am unable to use the controller to...

Hi Guys, Seems I'm not the only one who has had this happen to them! Basically, I had my drone up over a nice harbor area here in Oslo and I wanted to get some video footage flying in towards the shore. All was well for a few minutes, I received a high wind warning so I descended but started to...

Today I had a mishap with my Mavic 2 Pro. I got a little too comfortable with the obstacle avoidance and tried to get a shot while flying towards a building. The drone didn't even flinch, it literally just bounced off of the building. Upon inspection, the Lens cover is broke and the gimbal...

Hi guys, I recently flew my drone indoor and my drone drifted and the propeller scratched the walls, but I grabbed the drone as quick as possible to prevent it from actually crashing it. That's when I started inspecting all the parts on my drone. I realised that one of my motor is slightly...

I've been following the Drama of the "uncontrolled decent" on the Mavic Mini. I recently pickup one up and have been (out of curiosity) trying to replicate this anomaly. Forgive me if this has been tried in another thread, but why cant we get folks who have experienced this behavior to post in...

I clipped a small tree while flying my Mavic 2 Pro and the drone dropped about four feet onto my driveway. The drone has a few scuffs but the camera flipped 180 degrees and is now facing backwards. (See picture) I have tried to gently force it back into place but don’t want to break it further...

I've enjoyed reading these forms for the several years I've been flying DJI drones. The analysis and discussions are always highly informative ad entertaining. Sadly, it's my turn to report a crash, upload my data and hope somebody can help me figure out what happened. Drone was a 1.5yr old...

Hi, newbie here, my drone crash mid-flight with 50+% battery. The area was clear, no obstruction to struck. The drone suddenly drop during flight. I ask DJI support but their reply is "We have checked the information you provided that we are sincerely sorry that the free service period of your...

Ok, I just have to vent. I crashed my M2Z last night. I was out with my M2P and the M2Z and it was getting dark. One last run is what I said to myself. Then, over the trees (I thought) and BAAM! Flight log stated "YOUR AN IDIOT!!" The rear arm broke off, et cetera. Like one of my kids getting...

Hi Im currently on my travel journey around Australia and today just been flying my drone at the beach next to me! Not even far away.. anyway I updated the homepoint like ever and flew my drone approximately 20 meters straight next to me into the sky to take pictures of the beach The...

My DJI Mavic Mini crashed into the water for no reason - 25 january 2020. I've found this video in the cache of my smartphone. The first error was about sd card malfunction and 5 seconds later an error about losing connection appeares. Failsafe RTH didn't work, a sudden movement in the air and...

Hi there ! Sad day for me today. My Drone crashed after a short 6 month life, and I have no money to buy another one… There were no wind, no obstacles, It had still enough batteries. The Drone was flying normally, and after completing a 360 panorama, it suddenly falled of around 15 meters in...

Because it seems 99% of crashes are pilot error, I sure would like to find out what I did wrong. i've only been flying for a few months and try to be careful. Questions: a. Is this enough data to determine what I did wrong (or if the AC went nuts) to make it crash? b. Is there more data I...

Hello, My Wife Father give me a Mavic Air Which accidently landed one leg in salty water. I recognise on core board, flat ribbon connector is burned. Problem is, anybody know where I can order 2 of them? They are 30 pin (two sides 15 pins each). Kind Regards, Lukasz. I check and I found another...

Hello Here’s how it went down so i was flying my mavic over a lake (second time using it) , I was lowering it down when it suddenly lost connection and disappeared. It was sunset and i didnt have my sensors disabled (did not know about that then). I thought it wouldn’t go down any further and...

Hi What would you recommend to do with Air that has been crashed and has gimbal motor overload error and visibly incline gimbal (horizontal)? Also gimbal auto calibration won't (naturally) finish. Could it be fixed possibly with (new) ribbon cable and perhaps by fixing this possible issue ? Or...
