Lost another drone

That has yet to be determined. Certainly when the battery came off in flight was not my fault.
In which of your three drone losses being discussed, do you think the battery detached from the drone in flight?
Actually, I did.
And it's what everyone has been thinking, they're just uncomfortable saying so.
This person should not be anywhere near a drone (and probably a lot of other things).
"Had a good day today. I hit a branch once, but the drone righted itself so I didn't have to run down the beach a quarter of a mile to get it. Tons of surfers and hot girls at Cloud 9 today. All three of my kids took their second surfing lesson. The way the waves break here, it's very good for beginners. I find that the DJI RC will only fly 4 batteries before it's depleted. I guess because it has it's own display. My RC-N1 will go a lot longer. I could switch back to it. Unfortunately it rained really hard all of a sudden, and my drone got quite wet. A girl next to me did a hand landing. I told her she was pretty good knowing how to turn it over to turn off the motors. She said she has her own drone."
you said the above...
Are we talking about the same drone? The one that got really wet and then later went for a swim?
or is this one of the other drones?

Well, we're not really discussing it now, but it happened in December 2018. I'm pretty sure I have a post on the Mavic Pilots somewhere.
It's more likely that the battery detached from the drone after the crash than that it fell out mid flight.
If you're talking about the drone you lost during a waypoint flight beyond visual range, didn't it crash into a crane?
It's a bit confusing keeping track of all you drone losses. Eight now?
Droning on and on...

No. This was in December 2018, my Mavic Pro Platinum, that had the battery attached to the top of the drone. The battery was slightly swollen, but I had flown with it a lot like that.
So, flying repeatedly with an obviously swollen battery finally caught up with you.
Is the total number of losses eight or nine?
I’ve lost the will to continue to read this and the accompanying thread re this guys blatant lack of care of his drones. I personally think it’s just clickbait now and I’m hoping that DJI throw out his claims.
Now it's 6 but the status of my last Mavic 3 pro loss hasn't been decided. I'm not counting the ones that were replaced for free.
So I ordered a Mavic 3 Pro Cine fly more combo from Amazon. $4,000. The only reason I got the Cine was they had that new, while the regular Mavic 3 Pros were used. So we're planning a trip in May, and I want to take two Mavics.
DJI is constantly asking me for more and more information. They even called me on the phone, but it was a very brief conversation, probably for public relation purposes.

I think you may hold some sort of record. Including free replacements, what's the total number of drones you've crashed or lost? How long have you been flying?
A more appropriate question would be "How long have you been crashing?"
