Mini 2 Ohhhhh Noooooo!!!

Just got my Mini 2 repaired and it was flying perfectly. So I decided to do a video of my latest acquisition, a 2001 Porsche Boxster S.
Things did not go as planned...

Unfortunately, damage to both

I read the article (interesting). Has anyone figured out how to recover a drone from the similar condition? Cut the power? Hold the power but call for a lateral motion?

From my understanding of the article and some videos I've seen - about the only way to recover is to move laterally into 'clean' air so your blades can regain lift.

The descent was at least twice as fast as what I’m used to. I wasn’t paying attention!

Oh yes they are!

I still fly it. It’s not perfect, but it will do for now. And yes, I did have it in sport mode but I always do. It was an extraordinarily fast descent that I was not prepared for. Guess that’ll teach me!

IMO - I believe I read that sport mode disables avoidance sensors.
glad your Mini2 survived.

It missed the bodywork; be thankful.

That would be correct as far as I understand it. I started reading about this when I adjusted my MA2 to descent at 10m/s, but from what I read all DJI drones since Phantom (don't recall which one) are made to prevent this from happening.

Good to know - thanks!
