crash

Hey guys! So, I'm creating this post both to share a mildly entertaining story, and to glean some information that I need from the community. My questions are highlighted near the bottom. So let's get started... So I just got back from Mexico this week. I did a lot of flying, and captured a...

hello, i crashed my drone a while back and the gimbal was absolutely destroyed, obviously lost all visual and all the height,velocity stats. im looking to get the walkera g2d gimbal but im skeptical because i don't know if it will work. basically the gimbal connect cable (multi grey cable thing)...

Hello all - I just purchased a P3S that had been crashed and had a severely damaged gimbal (broken yaw arm, torn ribbon). The previous owner had bought the replacement yaw arm and ribbon, but didn't have the patience to fix it. I reassembled the gimbal, replacing the broken parts with the new...

P2V fell 403 ft. at a distance of 600 ft. from Home point. Before falling, P2V became unstable and lost signal with RC; flight software was DJI Ultimate Flight. Surprisingly, visible damage was props and prop guards. Landing leg containing compass was slightly compressed with cover pooped...

This weekend while on vacation in Georgia, I went hiking at Amicalola Falls and decided to try and capture some footage of the falls and beautiful scenery. I decided to set up a pre-plotted flight in Litchi since I've head good success in the past and was somewhat limited on time. I checked...

Had my P3A for a little while now and love it, no issues and a joy to fly. Had a small meeting with a tree a couple of days ago, about 30ft up and dropped to the ground. No visible damage, just a muddy arm and props. I tried a test flight and all was fine. I noticed the top part of the shell was...

So I have never had any issues with my Phantom 3 Pro before, but the other day I was at the top of a hike and bringing my P3P back to me after getting a few shots. I was on a fairly tall rock and the P3P was below me as I was pulling it back home. When it got very close to me, I let go of the...

By way of background. I am a very serious pilot. I am a video professional and I have been flying DJI platforms for more than 3 years accident free. I am currently in pilot school, because I believe in doing it right and that knowledge is safety. Lastly I calibrated my IMU and compass early...

So I crashed my P2v+ but found it. I had to replace the wifi module, solder a couple connections, replaced the flex cable on the camera, still have a bent gimbal (not sure if it needs replacing). I have put everything back together. Now I can't get the remote to connect to the quad. The gimbal...

Hi everybody, Last night I had crash with my phantom 3 standard. After the crash the phantom looked OK nothing broken except 2 props which I replaced them. But as I turned it on after the crash everything looks normal but the indicator on the RC remains red and won`t connect to the drone. I...

Quite embarrassing but yes... this was my first away from society flight. We went to a local creek and I was flying using some fpv and vlos. Well I got some amazing footage one way and started to come back towards me. Passed myself after a few circles and went up stream. I went around the bend...

Hi: I am a new p4 owner who just had my first crash. I can not however figure out why. I set the P4 up on level ground. I live out in the desert and there is lots of room to fly.I had a great flight. Took it up to the highest altitude 200'. After some flight time (still at 200'), I...

I everybody, This week end I've crashed / sink my drone into a lake because: - Since we where moving, I've lost orientation while flying and had forgot to designate a watcher so nobody warned me that I was flying directly toward water and heard a "sploush" ... **** ! I've lost of the bird...

I crashed my Phantom PS3 and now the part that connects the gimbal to the QC is broken and some wires were disconnected. I would like to fix this my self if possible. Please point me in the right direction to do this guys. I have attached pictures of what it looks like.

Hi all, So, I'm a total newbie here and I had to join for a rather unfortunate reason. While doing some filming today with a few cars I made a rookie mistake, and crashed my P4 after making contact with some leaves on a tree branch. Got too focused on what was happening on screen and backed the...

I am not new to RC's. Not once did I have a fly away with a helicopter, or a plane, in over 20 years. Then again, I wasn't relying on firmware or software. The quadcopter is so easy. ..a caveman can do it. But trust me, when your phamtom flys away, and your $1400.00 investment is gone with no...

Hi guys I was wondering if you could help me. I let my niece fly my phantom 3 standard and she promptly steered it into a tree (my idiocy I know). The gimbal vibration plate broke and the ribbon of wires was pulled out of the connecting plug attached to the gimbal. I'm trying to plug them...

I don't consider to be a novice at flying this craft, or using the DJI Go App. I really never had to use the flight record until now. All my flights show up fine on Healthy Drones site and Dji Go, except for this one ( It shows up in Japenese or Chinese text..where all my others were normal and...

I was flying my Phantom 3 Standard last week in Providence, Rhode Island in really beautiful conditions. I had a few issues with image transmission flickering, but suddenly I loose it and it doesn't come back. This may have been because I lost line of sight behind the dome of the state house...

Hi all, new to the forum and to the hobby. I have crashed my Phantom 3 pro into a tree and the base of the gimbal (the one screwed to the body) was broken off. None of the parts of the camera or gimbal got separated or show external damage. I have ordered the replacement base, cables (just in...
