Just purchased this for $1,500 5 days ago at a local dealer here in Las Angelas. I set it out in the street, calibrated the compass, had full gps signal lock with 8 satellites and brought it up to a hover about 8ft where it suddenly drifted then took off climbing quickly and ended up hitting a tree. Fell down to the ground remaining upside down, props were spinning full speed and the unit was not responding to my remote controller inputs to power it down, just kept revving at full power until finally it just quit. Thank god the tree stopped it from going far away and possibly injuring someone on the ground. This broke the camera gimbals which cost $650-750 to replace. It should be noted that I just updated the firmware prior to this flight.
