I don't see him doing a mid air CSC c'mon give the guy some credit.  The copter fell out of the sky and the safest bet is it had an electrical problem of some kind.  My gut feeling is were going to see more of this as demand for the product increases.

sorry mate, if you do not know what you are talking, please don't comment - you are adding nothing ...

I have 1 battery with a bad cell and I do exactly that. press and hold the button for 5 seconds and all are solid green.  It shows the "life of the BATTERY"  it does NOT indicate a bad cell.



Watch the video and learn.  It is also on page 7 of the users manual

I have been in contact with DJI support and they have directed my issue to my local DJI office here in California USA. The video file is readable and I have posted the link to the crash/power failure here:

Correct.. I would have to been descending, yawing to the right and throttling left to kill power by pilot error which I clearly was heading straight and maintaining alitutude to my six o'clock in ATTI mode with no descent or rotation. Power cut for another reason.

I have been e-mailing DJI support directly.

That looks exactly like what happened to mine except mine fell into the ocean without any chance of recovery...

I must have missed that part, I was outside shoveling static from my driveway.

LOL Gerry you are a legend...

Last year I was shoveling solar flare material from my driveway before I could land, until I melted the shovel.

Try a forged carbon or graphite shovel next time mate

These reports scare me a bit. It's not just losing a valuable piece of kit it's what could happen if it hit a person/animal/vehicle etc. I wonder what the smallest GPS tracker weighs these days?
