Low voltage and critical-low-battery indications are two different things. Low voltage can be caused by... 1) A battery becoming partially dislodged in flight (always slap the battery in firmly). 2) The second reason is overheating... let your open battery compartment cool slightly when quick...

The math works out to a measly $35 per mission that takes proprietary training & specialized skill. Thanks for the sucker warning.

The DJI manual states any auto configuration can be overridden by the stick controls... just as it is with the autopilot and autoland (via the ILS/ radio altimeter) in a real passenger jet.

So, what actual paying jobs have you accomplished with an infrared camera?

You never revealed the configuration of the battery when you found the drone. Secured, loose or al a carte?

Your controller will still show the last location of poweroff/impact. Personally, I would go out in a small boat with a small net attached to the end of a couple of fishing poles. Dredging up the drone for the DJI logs and warranty return might be worth it.

...blinkers were added in the earlier, not later designs of the automobile when traffic laws were established. It was never considered an engineering defect.

Let us know how your warranty claim went... if it was approved.

That’s only a hypothetical yes. I was hoping for a true example as DJI could have classified it as a unilateral design defect. Then it would be covered. It’s a possibility since DJI, in fact, added a battery disconnect sensor to the latest version P4p, as was mentioned.

The big question is... does the standard warranty (not DJI Care) cover damage caused by an inflight battery-disconnect of a perfectly good battery and contact clip?

Thankyou for reaffirming my previous reply-observation. Your reference about the P4p V2 sensor is a good mention.

A sudden battery anomoly is a distinct possibility. One anomoly: There is a spring-like tension that pushes out on the battery as you seat it, that’s supposed to lock it in place. Inflight vibration can push a not-so-seated battery off it’s contact points. You’ll either get one of many warning...

I have always had Allstate insurance on my truck. Great company!

Your personal attack is not welcome.
