This was previously my greatest fear, smashing into a tree. I’ll tell you what, watching a $1000 drone disappear into the horizon really makes.a mark. I had grown so confident flying it, but now it’ll be hard to fly it much outta reach. I’m zure it’ll take time to trust again. Of all my drone related fears, a fly off wasn’t even on my radar.
Did you buy the extended warranty... whatever it’s called? If so, does crashing into tree get covered? Sorry, if not, hindsight is always 20/20.
No, no DJI care.
Cost me $175 to get it fixed. Actually, they didn't fix it. They sent me a refurbished one. That's how they handle it. The give you a repair quote, once you pay they'll send you a refurbished one. What hurt the drone was only one week old. That was January. I was flying out of VLOS. And it sport mode obstacle avoidance is disabled. At 60 km/hr it was to late to stop when I saw the tree.
That's how we all learn, by making mistakes and reading on this forum.
Hope you'll find your confidence again with your new drone. |
