Hello
I would like to share with you the footage of my Avata 2 which unexpectedly fell during the flight. I was flying around the building in manual mode for about 30 minutes when suddenly during the flight down the drone tilted to the right without any control. I did not even have time to react (Pause button) when it crashed into the concrete.



The weather conditions were perfect, sunny and without wind.

The controller is a DJI FPV Remote Controller 3.

I am sure that I did not make a sharp right turn, but a gentle right turn when the drone made this tilt before crashing.

To this day I do not know what caused this fall. Unfortunately, the drone was damaged and was sent back by DJI Care Refresh, I am waiting for a replacement.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry to hear about what happened with the drone. The repair team will keep you updated via email on the process. Meanwhile you can also  track the process on the link below with your S/N number or your case ID you have created.

were all props fine when you found it?
This looks like a prop failure.

looks like the left front prop left the chat in mid flight.... (or at least that one missing blade did)
left rear is a result of the crash (so it seems)

normally a dji drone shows a propellor error when it detects one motor has to turn way faster than it predicts, did you see that error on screen? (do you have goggles video also?)

Unfortunately I don't have a video from the goggles (no SD card in the goggles)
The message about the damaged propeller appeared only after the drone fell.

Maybe it's a problem with the "yaw tumble" already known from DJI Avata 1.

Yupp, definitely the famous yaw tumble.. I get it once in awhile on my avata 2 when i come down from diving and turn slightly either way. It is a whoop style drone and isnt made for much freestyle, but once you know the limits and how to pilot your way around its flaws then its a really fun drone to mess around with in manual mode. Ive never had it flip over and stay flipped over and crash like yours but came close a few times. On the newer updates on the avata 1 when that happened it put itself into normal mode right way and straighten out, my avata 2 did same thing before and put itself into normal mode after yaw tumble but not every time. Just know its limits and learn to  pilot your way out of it to help

On the avata 2 all yaw tumble problems go away with different prop like the HQ 3x3x3 props
