Keep trying young grasshopper sooner or later you'll figure it out. But please quit sending me coded messages.
Will do!check your battery life on the dji sofware assistant i landed mine once battery came out im thinking it want locked in if it worked on another battery it must be the battery life or not locking it in ok
Yes Jason, going to recalibrate everything regardless if that was issue or notJust because it flew great after replacing the props and battery doesn't mean you shouldn't re-calibrate the IMU after crashing.
Frank dont know anything about flight logger, using a samsung galaxy S5 though, thanksTim, do you?
what phone app do you use?
msinger I hand tighten the props after spinning them onRedphantom33, do you normally hand tighten your props after spinning them on? Or, do you just spin them and let them stop?
I tested the broken GPS signal hypothesis with my Vision Plus v3. The result of disconnecting the GPS connector was that it went into ATTI mode not Manual mode.Yes a lot of people have experienced this to happen including myself. You are one of the extremely rare people that has came through it with a quad that is still useable. You are very lucky. Don't think for a minute this was a one time thing either.
The batteries always come out upon impact in most all cases. If you had a flight logger in your software it would help to track such issues.
I would say you had one of three things happen. Either a failed ESC or broken motor wire, or a broken gps signal which causes the to go into manual mode. You will need to remove the top cover and inspect.

Did you happen to test to see if it would still operate when it was improperly inserted.The issue of the battery not being fully inserted, yet it may seem so, was discussed here many months ago. Back then I gave the P2 and battery to several friends and asked them to install it for me without explaining why (blind testing). About 4 out of 10 times they did not have it inserted fully to where the latch was engaged.
Complacency could be the cause here.
Food for thought.

Gentle men, I had my Phantom 2 not just drop out of sky, but go totally nuts before crashing into the ground. No real damage due to being only 10 to 15 feet off the ground, but after sending it in to 1UAS and them looking at it, they found nothing wrong, so the only thing that I came up with is that low flying, can cause problems, when flying high, over 50 feet, then no problem. This Phantom 2 was not even 30 days old and had uploading the latest firmware and so thought it was good to go. i personally believe that low flying with Phantom 2 or Vision, is something that should be avoided.
