Well, I finally did it... Crashed my P4P. I hit a tree limb, essentially no warning from the obstacle avoidance... looking at the logs, 4.5 seconds from first sign of trouble until the last telemetry received. Anyway, not blaming the machine, it was my fault--thought I was further away than I was, and I was flying to the left, so no OA coverage there. Broke the gimbal, and crunched 2 of the arms, and broke a propeller blade off. Could have been worse, I guess, but it isn't good.
I'm shipping it to DJI Repair, so this will be my first experience with them. Just wondering what I should expect.
I've printed out the paperwork and shipping label, so is it just box it up and send it in from here? I'm just sending the aircraft, no need to send in the controller, or should I send it too?
Looking at my flight records, the aircraft has 20.9 hours on it (20:55) and 702,539 total distance. What are the chances of getting my unit back rather than them sending a refurb? And, how much out of pocket am I going to be looking at, rough estimate?
Thanks, kinda bummed about this... but, if you're gonna fly and get the good shots, eventually you're gonna pay.
