I experienced what I believe is a prop failure on my DJI Phantom 3 Advanced in Gatlinburg, TN. NEAR but NOT at the Smoky Mountains National Park. I had several successful flights throughout the week and a total of 327 flights total on this P3 frame. I was flying DJI Carbon Fiber props when it went down and one of the props was broken at the hub...
Fortunatley I was able to track it down and recover it. It actually had minimal damage believe it or not and the only real damage was a cracked arm. The gimbal, motors and camera all work fine and I actually lifted off for a flight and it worked.
I put together a video showing some scene of earlier that day along with the crash and recovery (complete with dramatic music)
