Had a horrible day yesteday ... was at a real estate shoot using my M2P for only the 5th or 6th time. Everything went great on my first battery, no issues what so ever. Switch over to my 2nd battery and flying like a dream. I'm starting to finish up my job, just trying to get the last video shots when I receive the low battery warning. No problem I think, I still have time to get one more shot here before I switch out to my final battery. Luckily I only have the drone 4 to 5 feet off the ground because out of nowwhere, the drone just falls from the sky. I still had 22% battery remaining but it fell like it completely lost power. The drone hit the ground hard, the battery went flying out and I broke a prop. Doesn't appear to be any damage to the rest of the drone but my nerves were shot and I called it a day with out testing anything with my last battery.

I use airdata.com to log my flights but I'm not seeing a lot of info in there other than the final notification I received was "Gimbal roll reached movement limit". I spent some time on chat with DJI this morning and just completed a repair request ticket (I do have DJI care refresh as well). Really confused by this whole process though...I would prefer not to have to send in my drone unless I know there is a serious issue with it but don't know enough about the flight logs to really troubleshoot what happened.

Keep an eye on the compass, hard landing will knock them silly needing replacement. Happened to me twice, $170.00 to repair...
