I always thought a bad day for you was going to be stepping on a nine inch nail .

Before tell the drone what to do, you need to say “hey Siri” or… wait … mmmm
See if you had shoes on you would have made that gap 
Stand on a rattler and you'll rattle all the way home
Thanks for sharing and take care

Call me old fashioned but I would never launch my Air 2 from such a position, surrounded by obstacles such as rocks and tall trees. They all have the potential to overwhelm the sensors (if you had them turned on - which in itself is wise, in such a location). When you had just walked through open grassed areas, I know where I would have dropped my landing pad. Almost two years on and my Air 2 is flying as well as the day that I unboxed it. Cheers

Exactly!, plus did you not try going to the reset gimbal on the dji fly app, might of realigned the gimbal.Call me old fashioned but I would never launch my Air 2 from such a position, surrounded by obstacles such as rocks and tall trees.

It’s bloody annoying when they won’t do as they’re told, eh.

Well... I shoved the forward instead of the up... Loose nut in the pilot's shoes.

hehe I went down through the gap to get the silly drone. Should have set up the camera to video that.
Yup. Tried to calibrate the gimbal. I think there's something stuck in there keeping it from turning smoothly.

I'm just throwing humor, 'cause I'm pretty sure @Tentoes, neither needs, nor wants advice on how he could have avoided this
Bad day for me, too. My drone didn't like the snow as I was launching from the driveway........went bonkers and flew into the garage brick post. Crashed and broke a front arm/antenna, it happened so fast. I'll launch from the landing pad next time so it can see contrast and get its bearings.

Snow, water, and other troublesome surfaces is why we USED to be able disable completely VPS and Landing Protection.
Sure, you could slam your drone into the ground if you were stupid, BUT YOU COULD FLY. Get the shot/video.
