Hey Jay, sorry to watch the crash video. Is there any damage of the drone? If you need further assistance, please contact the support from here: https://www.dji.com/support

Ouch! In future keep your finger over the red pause button on the RC when using an intelligent flight mode such as active track - the OA is good but never 100% on any drone - especially tree branches in low light. If you press the pause button the drone will stop and hover in an instant allowing you to take manual control of the drone to avoid what happened here. .

Well, that didn't stand a chance....... lol

Didn't look like much damage was done, hope it still flies.

Nooooo.
That is a pity.!

Great tip! Thank you!

What that deliberate? Sensors seemed to have work but pilot kept pushing his luck.

looked like you were manually flying it......directly into a tree.

Great tip! Thank you!

Here is another tip, when I fly close in where there are many obstacles, and are filming a subject I always fly by VLOS, I will position the camera angle to close to where I want it and then fly, not constantly looking at the display while recording and adjusting the camera gimbal to the +30°-90° angle as required, this just requires a quick glimpse of the video feed, but more of watching exactly where the AC is, the Mavic has a pretty good field of view. That being said most video's can be corrected in post edit, this is also why I prefer Litchi as my operating app as it offers a much more robust "verbal warning system" while flying.

Flying FPV can become disorienting as far as distance to object(s) & altitude. I've been flying FPV race quads for years and have learned the hard & expensive way (although no where near as expensive as DJI products) sorry for your crash, hope you retrieved the drone and all is well.

That’s also a very good tip

Another good tips, thanks!

When I'm flying around (more) obstacles, I do find that I'm watching the aircraft more that I am the phone/app. For me, it gives a much wider field of view than you can get looking at the app. I might glance down to frame the shot, but then it's eyes back on the aircraft.

I take it that was a "follow" mode? Sorry that happened, but good lesson as it did not appear to hit it that hard, but then again...what do I know? right? heh

Hope all is well with it.

For those that have done similar things, how much damage and how hard to fix.. i.e. also cost?;)

Hi, so the drone is all working well now, right? Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. BTW, please pay attention to the flight environment, avoid any accidents if possible.
