Mavic 2 Pro Crash and save!

[SnowGuy]

I was flying in the White Mountains in NH about 2 miles up a trail. I did a clockwise run while running the camera up not realizing how steep the cliff was I was approaching. As soon as it hit the "voice" said "LANDING"......NO!!!!!!! If it landed I'd never see it again. Panic
hit, I decided quickly I had to try or lose. Hit UP as I didn't know which direction I was headed. It kept trying to go DOWN and land. At 3:10 I finally hit the "X" that cancelled the maneuver and regained control. Once landed I wiped the props and smelled "Christmas Tree". Luckily I didn't hit an OAK, you wouldn't be watching this! I got lucky!!

... I finally hit the "X" that cancelled the maneuver and regained control. ...

Congratulations on getting it back. I did not like how the RC pause button is recessed so I stuck a small button on it. Now my thumb can find it quickly by feel in case I need it right now. It not only cancels whatever automatic mode may be running (except critical battery landing) but is a very effective emergency brake.

Oh boy, I got scared watching and can just imagine how scared were you.

Unfortunately, I know that feeling from experience. Glad you got her home!

Thanks for sharing. Hate the feeling that comes with these situations.

Good job getting back. I would have completely freaked out. Good hand catch too.
