Hello from Lacombe, AB

[RottenHussey]

Hey Folks! I'm Rob Licensed UAV pilot with the Advanced Operations endorsement... I mostly fly my DJI FPV combo.. .... because my Mavic Air 2 dropped like a stone into Gull Lake yesterday... I tried finding it but without a diving mask could see anything down there.. check out the vid... I think it may have been shot down or attacked by a bird That's never happened before

Hi there, I lived in LA from 96-2000. Worked as part of an outsourced team at AFSC…ended up commuting from Edmonton to LA until 2005 as AFSC kept bringing me back for various projects. I live in Nova Scotia now but still have fond memories of Central Alberta

Welcome to the forum.
Hate you lost your drone but shot down ?‍

My new Mavic is at the bottom of a lake!

I've seen a few other posts regarding the same situation... my drone all of a sudden dropped out of the sky and into a lake... I have a care plane with DJI so I'll get another.. I'm hoping maybe the experts here can help me understand what went wrong.. Here's a link to the video... the last 20...

DJI determined that it was a "warranty issue" and replaced the drone and battery at no cost. Not the 128Gb memory microSD card though.
