13 July, I updated my CrystalSky, MP drone, and 3 batteries - one did not update. When I got ready to fly in Texas that battery then updated, I then flew the drone with my neice. It was hovering 83 feet above the street we were standing in front of, camera looking straight down. Screen went gray with aircraft disconnected and then I heard a loud WHACK as the drone hit the ground where we were looking. Crash shattered my new low noise propellers, and the battery bounced out. Left front leg/antennae was also broken off.
Not sure what caused the drone to just shut off. We were airborne about 5-10 min when the drone shut off and crashed, could have been from damage of small crashes (into trees 2x when I misjudged how close I was, once when neighbor kid hit my house at low speed and it fell 2 feet into a bush, or if the battery update went wrong. The battery still had between 50 - 75% I bought a new drone at $799 from Best Buy (the next day - last week). Updated RC, Drone, Batteries and flew to Estes Park, CO and got some nice video. However, the app disconnected on 3 out every 4 fllights. Flew back.
Crystalsky only has one additional App - Litchi. It was not on, or running in background.
