All it takes is losing your drown once and you can appreciate any info on this matter so it never happens again. I lost mine that was my retirement present from my son. Thank you for taking the time to help with simple things to help us stay flying.

That number #8 and 9 absolutely a must to read and fully understand 100% if not ask on what your not understanding because if you don't get these don't fly at all. My mind is more on that #8 wow that can easily happen and if you don't get that one, word for word ask cause that's the one that will kill your drone fast when you panic because of it doing exactly what it's saying the Drone will do! Great job on all specially that #8

Hello friends.
I'm new here. I read every topic and found everything that was said so far very good.
I would like to make suggestions for possible failure with the CSC.
The DJI could set up the upper control buttons, if pressed five times or more within a period of time, perform the emergency stop command. So it would not be dangerous for new pilots like me to turn off the equipment by mistake.
Another suggestion would be very good and I believe it should not cost you dear when at Check Flight.
The application could come with a function where you would ask the user questions before calling. In the settings put if I want him to ask me these questions, if positive, every time I turn the device on, he would ask the questions if I completed all the safety checks before starting the engines. This would make all equipment safer.
We must bear in mind that the equipment has high cost and every safety tool to prevent accidents should be considered important.
Thank you all for the tips.

Excellent advice! One issue I had just yesterday. Did a short night flight, lost signal, but bird wasn't 20m away, so it just descended into a tree and crashed to the ground bending camera gimble. I wasn't happy but did learn a valuable lesson. For some reason everytime now on 5.8ghz it loses signal within 3 mins, everytime? So lesson is make sure your more than 20m away for RTH function to work.

Pretty sure this CRASH has to do with either new firmware or DJI GO app. If DJI would listen to all the issues now with new firmware and fix it, THIS CRASH and DAMAGE could of been advoided!! Please address issues that people are having or refund our money.....

Someone mentioned video on the cell phone being 720p.  Don't forget your video the cell phone captures is not full resolution.   If you have 1080p or 4K selected,  you'll need to play back from the SD card.

No you won't?  When going going anythingremotely reasonable while flying.  
The CRC shutdown position won't happen. Fill right fast left stock would cause a rapid yawning to the right max rate max rate decent. While going good let far on the right stick would make the quad yaw towards the left tad.   If you DJI it just watching the screen could make you sidekick.  Fly sensibly,  and you DON'T accidentally shoot it down by accident ,

I reckon another reason can be added to the list :

Failure to download full manual and READ IT and UNDERSTAND IT ......
