crash

I recently lost control of my P4P and it went into a tree, luckily it was a tree with lots of leaves. It spun around and then dropped slowly and i caught it.... Battery popped out, a prop broke and the little plastic covers near the landing gear are gone on 2 legs. I powered it up after and...

DJI investigates after Spark users report fly-aways and unexplained crashes

Dear Co-Pilots, just had my third flight today and the worst thing ever happened - my P2 with the zenmuse and GoPro attached to it, crashed from ca. 50 feet on concrete - yes, she didnt survive. Thus 3 rotors are still working and the battery too - now I would like to get the flight data out...

Hello Folks, first post here - from Oregon! I have repaired 1- P4 from a bad crash my son had last year. So I have some experience working on these, last P4 repair still flies (its crash was severe, three motor arms dangling by wires). I bought what appeared to be a very minor crashed P4 off...

Last week on the fourth I was out at the beach flying my P3S that I've had for about 18 months. The drone seemed to be working fine and I had just taken it out on another flight. The wind was gusty, as you'd expect from the coastline, but nothing worse that what I've flown it in before. As I...

So I purchased a DJI Mavic Pro on Friday. I got it for vacation with my daughters and wife at the beach. I took a number of flights. I decided to test the 4 mile range. I was super pumped as I hit four miles, but on the return flight, the wind picked up and... the drone crash landed about a half...

P3S Drone was at about 150 - 200 feet altitude nearly straight up from launch point on a night photo flight over my town tonight. It had been in the air about 5-7 minutes on a fully-charged battery, flying in "P" mode, and holding position in a slight wind via GPS. Suddenly ALL the lights on...

I've been the happy owner of a P4P for all of five days and have been really amazed by the capabilities of this unit. Well, I guess I should say I WAS the owner of a P4P. This evening, while flying over a relatively small (but dense) wooded area, I learned first hand how Icarus must have felt...

Howdy, I crashed my P3 Advanced and now the gimble/camera doesn't work properly. when I turn it on the camera bobs around and never gets set right and when I connect to the app there is no image. How do I go about trouble shooting the issue? I've check out a lot of videos and they seem to...

Coron, Palawan is a beautiful island in the Philippines; it's also a great place to take your drone for some tropical aerial footage. If you go near the Twin Lagoons, be careful of those high limestone formations. My p4p's obstacle avoidance was turned off to maximize the battery life, and I...

Hi, My ph3a has crarashed, I manually took it up and everything was normal during almost whole flight. No wind, no obstacles between me and a aircraft, original brand new battery (only 5 charging cycles 100% health) I decided to land at 25% battery, First time "rc signal lost" status was at...

So back in February it was a really nice day in New England and I decided to take my P3P up over a pond. And it's a pretty big pond. I took some shot some nice video there and then BOOM. Tree that I did not see because I was stupid and was not looking at the view finder. I was flying towards...

We were invited to the ATVBC poker ride by the Backroad Mapbooks team to capture the event and do some ATVing. Let me know what you think. This is just a quick edit i put together for fun

I was flying the drone (phantom 3) and I ran into a rope that was hanging of the side of the house. It got caught in the motor and it gave me a motor obstructed error. It seems to be working fine after I untangled it, but I'm wondering if it is okay.

I purchased a P4P Friday, replacing a Phantom 4 I'll use for backup (The P4 is in transit to DJI for camera issue - red/white pixels on vids/pics so grabbed a P4P while the P4 gets fixed). I got the new P4P home, did all the firmware upgrades, etc. Everything charged and ready for a Saturday...

Hoping someone could help me. My Drone has been in for repair for over a month now. Today it finally said preparing shipment. Any idea how long it takes from here? It's taking so long and I want it back!

Hi! I have the DJI GO APP 3.1.5, RC fw 1.8.0 and P3P fw 1.10.90. But the app just crash almost all the time. When I get it work it sometimes just stop working. When I press the record button on the RC it just freeze. Have anybody the same problems? Or have anyone a solution on this problem?

Hi, Flew my new P4 today and it didn't end up too well. Beginner mode was engaged for good measure. First flight was for about 5 minutes which went without incident. I landed the drone, disarmed the motors. I armed them once again and took off. The drone was hovering about 30 meters (100 feet)...

So my cousin crash his phantom 3 pro in the ocean. He dove in and took it out and put it in a closet for 1 year. I found the drone and tryed to see if it would work. I put in a new battery and all the lights turned on and the camera moved (like normal) but it wouldn't connect to my controller...

Hey all, I'll try to explain this situtaion briefly but I fear there's no quick way! I bought a DJI Phantom 4 from an independent camera store in Penang Malaysia in Novemeber of last year. I'm a professional travel photographer from the UK but I am travelling full time so don't have any...
