I was working a job 2 weeks ago.....about 100ft from my M2P, flying between 2 buildings....I start rotating right which "takes me away from the wall on the left" except I also put in some very slow pullback as I was rotating....moving forward at 2.2mph very slow.....I look up and see exactly where I'm at....about 10-12ft from the wall, look back down at the screen and as I'm shooting I had just a touch of backstick.....BZZZZZZ, crash.
Keep in mind, the speed, and my expectation that the rear facing OA would work.....no beeps no radar no stopping. Sent the unit in with flight logs....6months out of warrantee.....one of the line items for repair was the REAR AND SIDE OA MODULES. M2P never crashed/bumped/landed hard....nothing.....it just didn't work!! Yes I paid for repairs. I have a repair/Maint acct that gets about 10% of every job....so I was self insured for this.
BTW, DJI sent a replacement M2P that looked AS NEW....SO FAR flies as new too.
