I was setting up today to get some pictures of a friend in a 12 mile run as she went by. Walking to the launch point with the remote hanging around my neck the slip on the strap broke. Tis the white DJI one and I have the Inspire mount on the controller.
The whole thing tumbled to the asphalt (no, couldn't have happened while I was on the grass). Galaxy S2 got chewed on the corners, the long Argtek antenna popped out of joint and my heart stopped for a moment.
Luckily the antenna just separated at the joint an went back together fine. I did have the panel one for RC in the case so I could have swapped to that, though I was only flying about 20m up (at most) and within a radius of 20m so the distance panel would have seemed silly.
Once I got set up I couldn't connect to the quad. Finally just turned my mobile off and it connected. But for a moment I thought something might have come undone internally (and my screw driver was at home).
I have bought a sturdier clip for the strap and I have the back strap thing from DJI on order to deliver today (thanks Amazon Prime Same Day)
