I was on a POI flight around a lighthouse in Outer Banks, NC. It flew around it and on the second round, I decided to fly it manually in Tripod mode to get some good video and fly by the tower, the top part where the actual rotating light is. As the drone went around it, I could no longer see it but I noticed a series of strange images on the monitor and then it went dead. I walked behind the lighthouse and the drone was on the grass, with its lights flashing. One propeller was broken, the others were all scratched, the camera was dislodged and dangling on a wire, there was a loose wire next to it, one camera bracket was on the grass. I was crushed. Lots of concrete on the top of the drone, which to me indicated that it had rubbed against it, either as it tumbled down or its top hit the side of the lighthouse - cant understand how or what happened. I cleaned the drone and started it just to check. It started but the camera would not turn while on the ground. I did not start the motors or do anything beyond just starting the drone (the buzzing sound). My assumption is that the drone was drawn to the lighthouse for some reason and my last minute controls did not respond. A couple of questions: 1-What in a lighthouse can interfere with the drone? 2-Are there magnets in the lighthouse, esp the top part or is it the concrete the culprit? 3-Who do I send the drone for repair and diagnostics (DJI or an authorized repair shop)? 4-Is it better to replace it? I am a serious hobby photographer so with the Mavic Air 2s in the market now, should I dump this and buy the 2s, although the difference, even with a 1" sensor, would not be significantly different for home videos. 5-Would any repairs on this damaged drone make it as good as new? Thanks for your thoughts. I have been flying drones for years, Yuneec, DJIs, and others so I am not a novice pilot. No pilot error, unless one considers proximity to the lighthouse to be one.
