Why did my Mavic Air 2 fall out of the sky after 1 minute of flight?

[BigAl07]

I crashed my Air 2 for exactly the same reason - battery separation. Swollen batteries don't get good connections. The inherent design so that the batteries fall out when loose is a flaw. The Pro 3 has a better design.

Too bad. I did enjoy my Air 2, but do appreciate the better cameras from the newer drones.

I have come to realize that drones are not good long term investments.

No they aren't at all long-term investments at all. Consumer grade at best

Almost any electrical contraption is not a good investment, because they always come out with better ones. The good thing about losing a drone, is you'll probably replace it with a better one. My ownership is mavic pro, mavic pro Platinum, mavic 3, mavic 3 pro.
