I experienced an interesting crash today with the Mavic Pro Platinum. I have these high tension power lines in front of my house a bit out towards the lagoon. I know from numerous previous flights between this and a Phantom copter that if I pass over it 60' up, I have plenty of clearance. They are down a bit and I'm up on top of a canyon.
I upgraded the firmware just yesterday. I was coming in at 69 feet and ran right into the top most wire. Lost 4 props but copter seems ok.
I didn't re-calibrate anything after the firmware update. I'm thinking I probably should have. I can post a video later if there is any interest.
Just wanted to post this heads up because of the firmware update yesterday. Many flights back 60 feet no problem and at 69 feet I hit the 1/2" thick wire. ****....
