Be careful when using the Quickshot. I just thought I'd try the Helix move, I didn't notice the trees behind me. It went up and spiraled around me, hit the trees and landed in the river. Think it's dead now. I'm gutted

Sorry to hear about your mishap...Drone guideline #1 is, "always be aware of your surroundings".  If you have DJI Refresh you'll be covered.

I had no idea about DJI Refresh, thank you for the info. I was able to buy it because it's less than 48hrs old.
Here's the video of the accident:

Dude...Probably not a wise idea to post on a DJI owned forum that you crashed your drone then purchased DJI Refresh after the fact.

I was only kidding, I had already purchased the cover before the crash.

Yes it was a smooth replacement. Took about 2 weeks, free postage. £49 for new replacement.
