Rest in pieces Mavic Pro

[Towlem]

Well..I did it...I crashed my Mavic Pro. I received it as a birthday gift and didn't know anything about the care program. Of course my first week was a disaster as the first one I had was faulty from the start..IMU would not calibrate. Did the YouTube thing read some posts here etc but no luck..returned to Best Buy and the next morning to I was airborne. What a fun machine..spent a number of days flying in beginner mode...graduated to normal mode and even played with sport mode a bit. Logged about 73 flights and was feeling like I was getting the hang of it. So I packed my MP into a case and travelled to another province..hopefully skilled enough to get some more scenic shots of my nieces wedding...and I did, they were great. And then I was just kind of killing some time and (did you know that not all trees are the same shape.)...moving very slowly across a field "near" a tree...I clipped a branch, about 25 feet off the ground and plummeted down onto a gravel driveway. What is left..is not pretty...and my heart is broken as this was the best gift I have ever received...and now it's gone..I know..it was my fault..but am sad to see it go

I have heard of worse crashes still getting repaired. There are special vendors that can do repairs, search for @Thunderdrones, here in this forum, his process is posted. You may have only lost some flying time and a few bills.

I might be interested in buying it if it is for the right price. I like to do a little fixing project once in a while. I'll send you a private message.

Your mavic was born in China and found its way to you. Give @Thunderdrones a chance, if nothing else he may be interested in the carcass.

Post some pics it might not be as bad as you think

It's no problem I have shipped and have received packages of all size from most of the province in Canada...
I live in the states
I bet if you took some pictures of your trashed bird you could probably inquires
In a exchange program.

The story with thunderdrone is he has so many drones in his shop he even hide'n them behind the toilet so the misses won't find them.
..............now I can't confirm that story.

But I did see a picture awhile back and he had about two dozen on a shelf

It true he get his ya-ya's repairing Mavics
I suspect he's something
of a "Horder Type" (Drone-a-phile) .?

Yes he's within 10 day shipping distance
Maybe even less

Send him a message can't hurt

You guy north of the 49th are cutting a fat hog. as the say.

What the exchange rate now.?
What a Loonie is worth a buck fifty. Right now.? Just saying...cR

If it is possible to be repaired thunder drones is the place to send it the man is a magician from what everybody says . I myself live in northern Alberta and if one of my DJI drones becomes wounded I will be sending at south of the border down to thunder drones everybody talks highly of this man
