On 5th of December I got it up from the window and it fell in the bushes without any control.
Since it was protected (in a cage) it didn't break.
When I turned it on motor sound (sort of metal noise) was louder and all of sudden it started to collapse and go down.
I was 3mt away and commands on remote controller didn't react,
I wanted to go higher but none of the commands; left, right, higher.. didn't react.
Few days have passed and now everything seems to be ok, but I am afraid this will happen againg and I am afraid to go higher or above  any water surface because if it collapses once more it is done.
Dron was bought 20 days ago.
Did something like this happen to anybody? What should I do?

sorry but I would be willing to guess you have one bad motor from the crash, even though it was in a cage it probably still damaged a motor

First off your mini does not have a serious problem.

It had no problems with motors starting or when it crashed.

Looking at your log I think the moving about was as a result of two things, you took off under some trees or close to trees this had the effect of causing craft to receive enough gps, it’s also dark under these trees so your VPS sensors won’t work correctly, they need to have good light and also good sensors to work correctly.
So you craft wasn’t able to hold position as it should and was moving around also it appeared that your stick movements were not taking effect but looking at your log all your stick movements were registering but drone was still drifting about the place until it crashed.

When flying at take off wait until you see minimum 11 sats this will give you a solid take off and ease into your flight .

This preflight exercise might help.

1/ start AC leave until you receive enough gps lock ,

2/ if you get Compass interference turn off AC and move to another location,
without interference.


Raise AC to height of 8ft
Hover for 20 seconds
Fly forward 2ft
Backward 2ft
Left 2ft
Right 2ft
Up 2ft
Down 2ft
Yaw left
Yaw right
Each time returning to hover position
If you have a good horizontal each time, you will then know you have good GPS good IMU and good Compass, and your ready to fly.

This exercise takes less than 2 minutes and is worthwhile doing before every flight,

How could DJI make more clear or mandatory to read manual, or include a check list?
I have to say that I personally love reading manuals, and the Mini is very direct and short, and probably not appealing to many.
Like that video with "Paul" and "Doney" or something lol
