I’m new here and my Mavic is sick...

[DroneAngel]

Hi everyone. I’m new on here, so please forgive me if I’m in the wrong place. I crashed my beloved Mavic 2 pro and the camera has become separated slightly from the gimbal. I’ve looked around a bit and repair is extortionate. Any ideas and if it’s ok to carry on flying with it like this? Thank you for any advice. Best wishes.

I would definitely look at getting it repaired. If you fly the camera may not operate properly and get jammed up and cause further damage.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I’ve grounded it and will get it repaired. Lesson learned...mind that side switch on the remote, it easily gets accidentally switched to Sport..?

Hi. I’m in the UK but thanks anyhow.

How did you crash it? Gotta tell us the story. I hit a tree top with my first Mavic Pro but haven't put a scratch on my Pro2, knock on wood, lol.
Its up to you if you want to fly it with the camera damaged. Won't affect the flight unless the motors, props, ESC, or flight controller took damage. I'd do a test hover and then a battery pack worth of low/easy flying. Good luck!

Contact Thunderdrones?

Hi. I was trying a low shot and didn't realise I'd knocked the side switch, putting the drone in Sport Mode (which I never use). It sped off without obstacle avoidance and by the time I realised what was going on, it had hit some tall grass at speed and flipped over. It seemed to work ok but the gimbal was wonky.
The lovely insurance company (don't get to say that very often!) said it's covered and they are repairing it with just a small excess. Phew!

It is easy to repair, give your self a chance

I too am new to Drones and am anxiously awaiting delivery I’m my Mavic 2 Zoom. I could be wrong but I thought I read in the manual that you can actually disable the ability to switch to Sport mode with the switch. If true consider setting that option so as to prevent this accident again.

Thank you so much! I will have a look in the manual and certainly apply that in future! Happy flying with your Mavic 2. I love mine!

I just got a Mavic 2 Pro and love it. Sorry to hear about the crash. That is my worst nightmare. This drone is amazing in terms of video quality and flyability, if there is such a term! I wish you the best on the repairs.

Thank you so much and I agree. It is a thing of beauty and I love flying and the quality is amazing. This was just an accident and they happen to us all. But I'm sure we all hate it when they get 'hurt'! Best wishes.
