This exactly. He comes in here with strong accusations, and then he can't even back them up. There are holes all through his analysis. He is flying at night which is risky, yet he takes no responsibility, he is flying over water with a low battery, yet he takes no responsibility. He thinks he can see everything that is happening from 2 football fields + 100 more feet away, when it's dark out, I call bs. He loses GPS because of his choice of location, yet he takes no responsibility.
If this was me flying and this happened, I would have started a thread where I admitted that this crash was most likely my fault. I would have owned up to the risky aspects of this flight, and I would have simply asked for,help to determine what happened.
I believe if the crash/loss is due to his actions then he should most definitely take responsibility. However, this tech does sometimes spontaneously fail, so the OP has the right to want justification for what DJI has said happened, though it goes against what the OP states he experienced first-hand. If the tech failed for reasons unrelated to the pilot's "irresponsible" flying, then the pilot's actions are not relevant whatsoever.
For instance, I lost a quad last year and posted my flight log here. I was told by multiple forum members that I should not complain because I had initiated my flight on a battery that was not fully charged, that I had been irresponsible in my actions. Ok, it may be true that my actions were not wise. However, those actions are not what caused me to lose my drone. DJI ultimately agreed that the fault was not mine, and they replaced my quad at not cost to me.
After that experience, I greatly appreciate DJI for their decision, and I assume their assessment in the OP's case is appropriate. But, if the OP accurately attests that there was not a crash before the fall/fail, perhaps others here can cut him some slack. Perhaps there is more to this story than a log and a few images can show. That was certainly the case in my situation and I too had been labeled on the forums as so irresponsible and the cause of the loss of my quad. |
