    I crashed my mavic 2 pro... camera faces down.

    Everything else on the mavic works fine. The camera stays facing down when off though. I can move it in any direction manually but will center itself facing down. When I turn it on it positions itself normally and works normal. Only when I fly and move it around the camera drifts and faces down...

    Emergency buzzer didn't work

    Hi, I crashed my mavic air (I make the mistake to flew it on the side, in a trees environment) I knew it was on the ground (I got the video transmission) In order to find it, I tried to turn on the beeper/buzzer without any result - even when it reached the low battery level. Happily my son saw...
