    My final flight (crash footage)

    Sorry man... I know how bad it feels! I had it at the back of my head every time I fly... I hope you can get a new one. Maybe an excuse to buy a P4 or Mavic? Awesome materials by the way. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

    2 weeks after I get my drone back from DJI
