    Completely submerged! Drone survived.

    Was messing about with the drone today and as the battery got lower decided to do some low shots of a fountain. Battery was extremely low; I remember seeing just over a minute flight time left but was flying maybe 1.5m high and about 10m away from me so no drama. I dont know what happened...

    1 Week with Mavic Air

    So I have now had my MA for a week! During the past 7 days I have managed to go from beginner, to testing the sport function. I have watched numerous videos, read threads and decided to fly my MA off my undercover balcony (scary). I made it over the edge, felt the bird freak a little and then...

    Vision system errors and fix

    So I am on my second Mavic Pro now, and have been keeping a good record of flights and distances ect. The first one went down on a cold day with some wind - put it down to adverse conditions. The insurance covered it but rain water had destroyed the craft and we never got to the bottom of the...

    my drone autopiloted into tree, fell 50 ft onto grass then tarmac!?!?!?

    I was piloting my mav air from one side of my street to another at twilight. I know it wasn't the best time I was at 8 ft about to land when the battery fell critically low. the drone autopiloted to around 50 ft, which is half of what rth height should be, and flew straight into a tree which was...

    What happened to my drone? Lost connection at 120 meters

    Hi This incident happened a few days ago and i cant really figure out what caused this. I have just descended my drone from max altitude in sport mode down to 120+ meters. I hovered there for a short while and looked around with the drone and was just about to fly the remaining 600 meters...

    Active Track Crash (Obstacle Avoidance?)

    Hi guys, i started testing the Active Track Mode (Follow car) and unfortunately crashed my Mavic Pro against a tree :/ The crash was probably my fault as i relied too much on the automated flight. I even saw the tree on the screen (i wasn't driving the car myself) but thought the mavic would...

    Noob messing up my first flight in sports mode... (MP)

    With about 3 flying sessions under my belt I was trying out sports mode for the first time. While flying back, the DJI app crashed and with my lack of experience I looked down at my screen rather than watching the aircraft. All while holding the stick fully forward at 100%... Yeah I...

    Strange mavic pro behaviour lead to smash into building

    During my visit to Helsinki I decided to take the drone with me for some after work play last week. The day light is long these days which encouraged me to fly the drone. The hotel is located directly neat water channel from the sea, so I prepared for the fly. Calibrated the compass and flown...

    RTH causes crash

    My Mavic Pro crashed yesterday as I foolishly didn't turn off the RTH feature while flying in a ravine which was densely populated with trees. I was just finishing up and was cleared to land about 30 feet or so from the takeoff spot when the RTH feature took control and started to vertically...

    Mavic Air Takes a Lickin' and Keeps on Tickin'

    I just have to tell you that I crashed my relatively new Mavic Air three times hard on to the rocks twice and once on to the pavement from about 15 feet. I lucked out because although a couple of parts snapped off, they snapped back on. Plus the propellers showed minimal damage. And that...

    Compass Error - Crash

    Yesterday while flying my MPP, on a nice long roundabout route, I experienced a compass error and then a crash. I was out in a ballfield and had flown approximately 4000 feet away at about 380 feet high. I got down to about 40% battery and hit the RTH button. I had flown a little in sport mode...
