Crashed my Mavic Pro

[RickJW]

Backed into a tree and dropped to the ground. Once hitting the gravel, all props were sheared off. Had to open one motor to remove grit. I believe I got all of the grit out. Put new props on and now the MP won't hover without drifting up, down and sideways. Is there a calibration that I should do in case the impact changed something? The fall was from about 20' at the most.
Thanks for any input,
Rick

Sorry to hear the bad news.

I would recalibrate everything if that were my drone, just to be on the safe side and go from there.

I was able to calibrate the compass, but the I'm wouldn't finish. Seems to fly OK now.

Hi, just out of interest I looked at your eBay site & it only had one item on it. Looked at “other items for sale” tab and only got the same item. Not sure if that’s right or something gone wrong on eBay, thought you should know. Take care and catch you later. Peter

After many tries to calibrate the IMU, I had to give up. Not at any time did I find a blue camera button to start the procedure. Just opened the main screen.

Thanks for letting me know, Peter. Maybe a glitch on eBay - everything is showing up okay here.

Dummy me! Finially realized I wasn't paying attention to the images changing orientation to continue the sequence. Finished the procedure just fine.
Thanks for the responses.
