Anyway, really would appriciate if anyone has some free time to have a look through and possibly give me an idea if this is something I can get fixed through warrenty.
Possibly so, though I'm always hesitant to speculate about what DJI will do, especially when one of the "intelligent" flight modes is involved. I watched the videos and looked at the DAT file and it happened just as you described.
In my opinion, the drone should of detected the object and stopped, but as you will see from the video it didnt even attempt to stop.
After reviewing the videos and data I'd tend to agree with you. You can see in the graph below that OA did in fact detect the obstacle (the green line that appears at around 519.5 into the flight) and the estimated distance to it decreases as the Mavic continues flying towards it. However, the Mavic's speed (indicated by the red plot) didn't decrease but remained the same until perhaps just before the impact (indicated by the blue plot's spike).
So the bottom line is that OA did detect the tree but didn't do anything about it, at least not quickly enough to prevent the crash, so my personal opinion is that a reasonable argument could be made for this being a warranty issue.
Based on what I've heard in the past, my guess is that DJI will resist replacing it as a warranty case, but if / when they do, you should insist on them explaining why it didn't begin to stop as soon as it detected the tree 6 metres away when it still had a chance of avoiding the collision.
