So it happened, my first crash.

Yep, it finally happened, after a few close calls. Crashed my Mavic to a tree flying backwards. Luckily it came down and it was fine after changing the propellers. Sturdy little thing. I did do an emergency motor shutdown the moment I realised what happened.
Just remember to keep your eyes on the drone, not the footage you're shooting... Easier said than done!

Beautiful captures .... bummer on the mishap. Mavic needs a rear OA sensor ...

Yup, it was a known weakness when buyin, but it really wouldn't hurt. And thanks!

Yep just crashed mine too. Drifted backwards into tree, fell hard and busted right rear wing. I'm sick. Purchased from Drone World and purchased insurance. Waiting to hear back on whether I can have it repaired locally.

What a beautiful place! So peaceful. Perhaps just a feeling caused by the background audio.
Nice footage aaaand... What a pity. Luckily was just some propellers. Thanks for sharing!
