Never thought it would happen to me, but I knew I wasn't invulnerable. I just crashed my Inspire 1. ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I was flying it over a field and it was up maybe 50 feet (still need to review my flight log). I was doing an upward spiral (sticks pushed up and outward). Then for effect I did the reverse.
Oops, next thing you know the sticks were down and inward. Bam. Motors off.
Bird flies straight down to the ground. Totally destroyed. Gimbal snapped, camera dented, frame bent, cross beams snapped, props broken. Etc.
I'm most annoyed that DJI made it THAT easy to shut it off mid-flight. It was a total accident to do it.
I'll have to look into professional repair (hopefully local). What an expensive hobby :|
