    Drone crashed! Help me determine what went wrong...

    My DJI Phantom 3 Advanced crashed yesterday. I was flying about 100 ft above the treeline, when suddenly my drone began to spin out of control, crashing into the woods. I was able to retrieve the drone, and to my surprise, the damage did not seem too extensive. I think the crash was caused due...

    Flying under a bridge: 2 crashes in 2 attempts in 2 years!

    A couple of weeks ago my friend at work crashed his new Mavic Pro flying under a canal aqueduct. The video here shows it all start to finish, including the harsh laughter from his colleagues, the salvage operation and the last few seconds of flight rescued from the Mavic itself. Even more...

    After a crash everything is working but the gimbal

    Hit a tree limb and the whole thing crashed onto concrete 15feet down. The camera and gimbal separated from the body of the drone. The grey ribbon cable and antenna wires were pulled out fairly cleanly and I was able to piece everything back together with a lot of help from this forum and smart...

    The Good, The Bad & the Ugly: State Farm, A Crash & The Black Hole Known as DJI Service

    I became a proud owner of a Phantom 4 Pro in late December. In early January I bought a State Farm Policy for $60. Between December and early May I flew 550 successful flights. And then, two weeks ago, in a flyover of my sailboat anchored in a small bay, I clipped the rigging and it went...

    Repair services, which company?

    Hey guys. I recently crashed my 3 week old Phantom 3 Advanced drone. I tested out what was wrong with it, and I know the thingy that goes on the gimbal motor broke (the part between the camera and the motor), but I could still put it on loosely. 3 of the 4 motors have debris from the crash in...

    Phantom 2 issues & crash

    Alright, so I have a couple problems with my bird, just when I thought I managed to get it all up and running... A little backstory: I put together a Phantom 2 with H3-3D and a FPV setup. By put together I mean buying a stripped down Vision (without Wifi and camera), replacing the Tx and Rx for...

    Sad day of the flipping Phantom

    Yesterday I took my drone out with my usual giddy excitement and placed it on my newly-laid patio. Spun those props on like a whimsical child, thinking of all the wondrous joy I would shortly be having as my drone ascended into the heavens. I calibrated my compass, waited for the friendly wink...

    Phantom 3 4K RC Signal Loss

    So, I was flying my drone about two or three weeks ago and my drone data completely lost signal. I was flying up and then it cut out. I attempted to bring it back down to get range of it again as well as turning the RTH on. I waited and waited for a few minutes and nothing happened. I went...

    Phantom 3 pro crash, spiraled out of sky, into lake shoreline

    48 hours ago from now, my drone crashed. I was planning on using 2 batteries. The first one wasn't a DJI battery, that flight was successful and no problems. I land and switch to the genuine battery. I fly it for about 10 mins and then hell breaks loose. Im flying over a lake getting photos of a...

    Bad crash repair?

    I spent an hour flying my phantom 3 standard on Tuesday filming a cross country event and at the very end ( I had 15% battery) so i decided to come in and land but when it was 5 meters above me the power cut out and it fell to earth. Unfortunately during the crash the gimbal support snapped...

    Small crash what to check?

    Had a small crash with my Standard today. My own fault caught the back of a goal post with a prop and flipped upside down into long grass. No visible damage. After recalibration everything seems fine no errors etc. Consider myself very lucky. Any ideas on any other diags to run, logs to check...

    Help! My P4P camera is schizophrenic!

    It finally happened: My P4P caught a limb this weekend and ended up in the local river for about 30 seconds. The battery is done, of course, but the P4P itself has dried out and flies great. I feel very lucky and embarrassed. However, the camera wasn't as lucky. After trying many of the...

    DJI Phantom 4 Pro/ App Malfuction

    My drone crashed in the water after my App crashed. DJI just wants to give me 15% off a new one instead of replacing it. Has anyone else ran into this kind of issue?

    TapFly mode - obstacle avoidance... didn't.

    Hi folks! Unfortunately my P4P (a/k/a "Pegasus") took a hard crash yesterday. I was trying out TapFly mode, and it flew straight into a tree. I'm really not sure why obstacle avoidance couldn't/didn't/wouldn't avoid said tree. Shame on me for not reacting quicker; that's 100% my fault... but...
