Have a phantom 3 Pro, had a crash when a half an inch of my carbon fiber prop broke off at 30 miles an hour. Now I have no navigation lights and a beeping sound when I turn on the Drone. Help please... any suggestions. Thank you in advance

Actually from what I can see from the picture is not that bad, find someone who is good at soldering and he should be able to resolder it easily.

This thing is done... I hit so hard that I knocked capacitors off the board... Every part of this drone is broken in some place.
 
It's all good... I've cleared over 1 million feet and had over 400 successful flight this is my first mishap... I still have the P4 and the p4p
 
Message to all Pilots... When doing your PreFlight checklist, check, recheck, and check again before you launch...

So this was for certainty a prop failure? Do you suspect the prop was cracked prior to this final flight? What did the drone hit at 30 mph? Dirt? Grass? Concrete? A Tree?
 
This drone was at stable flight at 30 ft about 25 miles an hour, and within a blink of an eye it went into a hard fast forward tumble. This was either a prop issue or a seized motor, I got a motor obstruction warning in the app. There was no way to save or recover from this failure. It fell from the sky into a 5-acre field with pretty tall grass, but the impact was definitely something to see only wish I had the camera rolling at the time... There was debris everywhere, and just for the record I did not hit anything. This was either a hairline crack in the carbon fiber blades that snapped when I gave it the juice or a seized motor. This is the only two possibilities, that I can come up with, for the drone to go from solid stable flight, to an immediate out of control forward tumble..
