[size=14.6667px]48 hrs into my Mavic Pro ownership and my maiden flight has ended in disaster.
I've been reading up for days about setting the Pro up and so am well aware about updating to the latest firmware, waiting for sufficient GPS satellites, calibrating the IMU and compass etc.
The compass proved very difficult however, despite f[size=14.6667px]ollowing the calibration instructions, for ages, in multiple locations. [size=14.6667px]I'd just updated to the latest firmware, and even checked the compass interference screen which showed both compasses as "good" with v low readings in green. E[size=14.6667px]ventually after much turning and arm waving it told me it was calibrated and 'READY TO FLY' was showing on the RC screen.

[size=14.6667px]I took off for maiden flight, and after initially rising a metre or so in the air it then banked heavily with no control, hit the ground hard and I now have a broken gimbal flexi and dented body.
[size=14.6667px]Want to cry.
[size=14.6667px]Livid isn't the word.
[size=14.6667px]Can anyone help please? I bought it at the Apple store in Seattle but am about to fly home to the UK.
