After crashing indoors and falling off a park bench, the little fella was attacked by a dog that somehow only affected the gimbal.
Had brought the Mavic to a park and waited for a dog walker to pass by as one of her dogs was going nuts over the Mavic, even at 100m up.
Good 10mins had passed and was getting an emergency landing warning due to critically low battery so started to land. This was right beside the water along a tree lined park so had to slowly manoeuvre down.
Just about to land when all of a sudden one of the dog walkers' big black dogs bolts out of the bushes, snaps at Mavic, Mavic drops and bounces towards the water but throttle up and it thankfully doesn't fall in. Dog snaps at Mavic again and a third time but somehow it manages to stay up but gimbal is literally hanging off it and somehow is still showing picture.
Owner gets control of dog and the dog is bleeding from the mouth but still trying to attack the Mavic
Unfortunately stopped recording before the attack so missed out on what would have been excellent footage!
Inform DJI on Monday and they respond quickly and have a quote of Au$177 to fix it by Wed ( not under Care Refresh). Receive drone back by Friday. Very impresseda after reading about their infamous poor CS.
Notice it's missing all props and it's not in the case I sent it but a new box... turns out they sent back a different (very new looking) drone as it has a different serial number but it also has a free battery
I know some others have experienced a drone swap when they sent theirs in for repair but are they actually new ones they're sending out or just other ones that have been repaired and ready to go? Does it make any difference?
