Hey to all you pilots oh there, I have had my Mavic Pro for a few weeks, I got about 40 flights no problems, well today I accidentally flew props first into a building about 5ft off the ground, obviously all my props were destroyed but upon visual inspection no damage I can see at all, I only had one error message and that was on the screen after crash....gimbal over load. Anyway I thru a new set of props on, changed battery, actually battery was scraped pretty good. It flew perfect, camera worked great, no issues at all, is there any further testing I should do? If it is flying perfect, endorsement, camera everything working should I be ok? What steps should I take to evaluate? Thank you

Wow, sounds like you may have lucked out, just keep an eye on the gimbal and any error messages, good luck.
 
Sorry you had a crash, but glad the damage was minimal.

I'm curious about how you hit all four props though, haha ...
 
Since the battery was scraped up keep an eye on it, too. If it starts to swell get it out of your house.
