Well, after 60+ successful flights over countless hours, I must sadly annouce that I have crashed the Mavic.
it was my fault. I've grown accustomed to taking off and landing in my back yard. It had become habbit. I had stopped using RTH and auto take off/landing because "i didnt need it anymore". I guess I got careless and on my last flight while attempting to land, I misjudged the distance to the tree and had the Mavic come down and it hit one of the branches and toppled down 20 or 30 feet to the grass below. Maybe I thought that if I were too close, the obstacle avoidence would kick in since I was not in sport mode. I guess I was wrong. Maybe the branch was not large enough to be detected.
Broke all 4 props and the gimble. No other (visual) damage. Body and legs look fine.
So, I had to open a repair request with DJI and now will be without the drone for however long it takes to get it repaired. So sad. No DJI care refresh
Sitting here in disbelief.
