I know what you think - and you're right: I'm stupid. I completely misjudged the gimbal angle and flew into a rock. Looks willful but I can tell you: it wasn't.

The rest ist self explanatory. Hope you like it. And thanks to DJI for making good on their promise.

Awesome good news story Depp.   Now the question is,   where is the rock formation you crashed at?

Oh no.  Sorry about the crash Depp.  Looked like quite the endeavor to recover the Mini 2.

Nice to know that Care Refresh really does work.

Haha!
The video for that is in the works. Maybe ask Blériot.

Yes, it does. And even if it's a good story I thoroughly missed the Mini on the rest of the journey: It's so much more stable than my Cinelog and the big FPV isn't allowed or even comfortable to fly in quite a few places (at least for me).

Nice

Hi Depp, we are sad about the accident that happened to your drone, happy for you to be able to retrieve the drone and replaced it under DJI Care Refresh. Please always pay attention to the flight environment and fly safely.

Thanks. It was sad when it happened but also an adventure to try and retrieve it. And I'm happy with the way your service worked. (That won't keep me from trying to fly safely, though ;-)

Ah so France then,   it looked a bit Isle of White to me too.

Thank you again for your support.

A while back I bought a used Mini 2 and now it seems like I fly it more than the MA2.  It will be very interesting to see what the Mini 3 features.

Why that? Blériot is an Englishman he told me ;-)

Yes though I'm not sure I want it to be great because I don't want to "have" to buy it ;-)

  Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Ah. Now Im really confused.

That could have been a Care refresh commercial!

Which is a compliment btw

Thank you, Peter! I was wondering if DJI liked it or if they think I crashed willfully. But they seemed okay with it and even commented on YT!
Thanks for the compliment!

Yeah, they really don't mind (from what I have heard)
