Hi folks, so today I was flying my phantom 3 normally, but all of a sudden it crashed with out any reason. From the flight record, it seems as if it crashed because I hitted a tree, but in reality, the tree is cutted down not too long ago. The gimbal arm was bent, the gimbal plate is broken and the motors are scuffed, and one led light cover is missing. The drone won't contact with the rc after the crash. Can anyone help me please.

Start talking to DJI support as available off the DJI website. DJI Support (http://www.dji.com/support)
They'll want to see your flight logs.

Hey DJI staffers how about a link to the support site off the forum ???
Might be handy for a lot of these queries

Best to speak directly to DJI customer support via Chat or Phone.
Or, follow this thread, one of the DJI experts will be along shortly.

On the link I sent...
Click "After Sale Service"
Click "Online support"
Click the picture of the Phantom

That will open up a chat window with support

How would the drone know if a tree was cut down or wasn't? Either it hit something, or it didn't. And if it hit it, it was there. It doesn't map features in an area. It wouldn't be thinking "there used to be a tree here, but Billy cut it down yesterday, so I'm good to fly."

It just fell from the sky even though I didn't do the CSC command.

He is saying  that anyone (DJI)  looking at the flight logs might thnk it hit the tree because the tree is still showing on the Google maps when, in fact, it was recently cut down.

If it fell from the sky for no reason like you say, you have nothing to worry about. Theyll fix it.
