Wow. What a scary situation. Not that you did, but it sure reminds us why we can't fly over people.I was doing some gentle maneuvers and practice flying this morning when my P3P suddenly threw off a motor and crashed to the ground from about 30 feet. I was in a hover and the motor ripped itself off! I can't believe this! I have flown my P3P for months and have done hard maneuvers and long distance flights and never had a problem. Now, when flying super conservative and easy the thing literally self destructs in mid-air while hovering.
The motor was totally torn off. The camera is broken into two pieces.
I wasn't filming at the time. Is there a flight log? Will DJI cover this under warranty?
BTW, I do see cracks in your 2296 photo. The crack is in the left screw on the arm. Perhaps you did also have motor mount cracks prior, or perhaps the crack in the arm occurred as part of this crash. There's no way to tell.
