Hi Everybody, as I write this I'm just about in tears. I have been saving for a Mavic Pro since they came out. I finally bought one this week. It came in yesterday afternoon. Soooooo excited! Charged the batteries last night, did the updates, went on youtube watched all the " do this first videos". Came to ther forum read all the advice for newbies.
Everything was great until I got comfortable with my new Mavic Pro Platinum. Thats when I switched it to sports mode. DISASTER !!!! Flew it into a small branch on the edge of my pond. It fell about 2 feet into the water.
I ran to pick it up. I tried drying it out but no luck. I have not even had the drone for 24 hours at this point. . Why Why Why did I fly in sports mode.
I'm writing this to help me get through the anguish in which I feel. (poor man therapy).
I haven't even received the accessories I ordered for it yet. Sooooooo Saddddddd.
I hope the PTSD won't last to long.
Thank you all for being a shoulder to cry on.
