My drone just crashed on first flight after updating to latest firmware.
I have resisted updating for 8 months and have flown without any problems...until today. I decided to update firmware while on holidays. I updated Phantom, remote & batteries. Quad connected well, everything seemed Ok on the ground. Then i took off, went out about 1000ft and the Phantom just dropped from the sky with 96% battery remaining!
. I found it at the last point indicated on my map. Quad has smashed frame, props & camera. I will send it back to DJI for (hopefully) a warranty repair.
My suggestion, if you Quad is flying well, DO NOT UPDATE!!
Wow that's crazy! Sorry to hear that, please share what dji says was the cause was, also I'm just wondering what firmware did you update from? The plus is they can't say "you weren't on the latest firmware so you have to pay for any repairs" that's the only thing that worries me about not update but so far I've stayed away but recently I have noticed some small cracks in the bottom of my front right prop so I might have to send it in soon and they will most likely update my FW when they see I haven't, it's happened once before to me. I've also noticed a lot more vibrating since the small cracks have shown up, wonder how long I can push it!
