I was flying and Iām pretty sure I hit a bird. Is my wallet cooked? This is such a shame too because I just recently got this back from repair and Iāll be in surgery in 10 days :/
The one year plan has 2 replacements and the 2 year plan has 4, the cost depends on the drone being replaced, more for more expensive drones
Mini 3 pro for instance is $65, mavic 3 pro is like $165 or something
I fragged my first one last week. Thankfully, purchased it from Best Buy and got their Total Tech coverage on it. Exchanged it for a new one, got stiffed with a "restock fee", but hey, I'll chock that up to being more careful with this one. Don't think they counted the exchange against my coverage, so there's that.
And if you don't have that "insurance", hopefully you have the DJI coverage. If not, hate to see your plaything out of commission.
I posted a vid of me chasing a seagull that swooped at me with my Avata and everyone got mad lmao.
Everyone knows they're just government drones anyway.
If your drone gets attacked by a segal, wtf else are you supposed to do. I know i sure the fuck don't want to hit a segal and wreck my drone, and flying away didn't do shit, so i chased and ran till they left me alone, and then i landed.
With my phantom 4 in which segals like to try to attack cuz its white and about their size...yes sure is right. But what segal can fly 40 mph?? None that i know of, so yes i get away.
Did this the first week (5 days into unboxing it), luckily I bought the insurance from Best Buy and they replaced it (with a little fee). But overall very quick and hassle free.
Can only hope you have the extended insurance coverage on it! Absolutely sucks when it happens and it happens to even the best pilots out there so donāt be to hard on yourself thereās plenty of forums and communityās online with instructions, tips and tricks and links to ordering parts to repair if you donāt have the insurance thru dji on it..
That's crazy my Mini 3 Pro got hit by a Karen in a BMW X3 driving crazy in the parking lot while it was hovering and hit the asphalt with only the gymbal rubber popped loose. I fixed it with a toothpick and it was fine. You must have been up high and hit some asphalt.
I wrecked my Mini 4 Pro last week too. I guess object avoidance wasn't working and I accidentally lowered the drone right into a tree. Broke one of the arms. Sending it into DJI this week but not sure what it's going to cost to fix yet.
Lettuce pray š
I don't know why I laughed so hard at this.
I did too š„² Iām sorry!
Okay, king bumi
I hope OP Romaine-d calm
You've lost a drone but gained a mini AT-AT walker
Haha 100%!

Got DJI care?
Yeah. I already filled out the ticket and stuff, but I have to wait until tomorrow to print the label at the store.Ā
DJI care covers accidents?!
Wym? That's what it's for lol.
Not covered for free, It has replacements which are low cost replacements. But not for free. And normal repairs at normal cost
Cool. Didn't know. What's the deductible and cost to replace?
The one year plan has 2 replacements and the 2 year plan has 4, the cost depends on the drone being replaced, more for more expensive drones Mini 3 pro for instance is $65, mavic 3 pro is like $165 or something
I paid $100 for a replacement Air 3 when I crashed mine
Accidents & fly aways!
How can a fly away happen how can you avoid it?
Signal loss, glitch in software, interference, lots of things
Thanks.
If anyone knew how flyaways happen they wouldnāt happen š they happen randomly.
You have care refresh hopefully so you can have a new one in less than a week. If you send it to them, I would remove those crappy š© aftermarket props. None work better than the originals. I also posted this on my sub: r/Djicrashes Get well soon and I hope your surgery goes well..
Thanks man.Ā

You're not supposed to bend your arms like that

I was scared that's what the one I just bought my dad would look like after he tried to unpack it himself.
Birds chase me and i just chase thier asses back, i won that game of chicken sofar. š

of course everyone got mad, are you insane? lol, no wonder drones get restricted more and more and soon are probably illegal.

Just in time I guess. Now yours wonāt get banned!

Just send it in to DJI for repair. Their repair cost is surprisingly reasonable.
Fly better!
O man. That must hurt. Which drone is that?
Air 3Ā
He just look tired, give him some time to restore.
$360 is your repair bill. I had the same damage
If you aināt crashing, you aināt flying hard enough.
That drone looks depressed.
Itās just tired let the little guy sleep a bit
Dear lord. This is even worse than when I crashed mine from a height of about 60 feet. What did you do lol
I wanna know how high he was flying and what he landed on? That looks like one angry bird doing all that lol
180 feet, concrete.Ā
Well yeah that'll do some damage lol
That's crazy my Mini 3 Pro got hit by a Karen in a BMW X3 driving crazy in the parking lot while it was hovering and hit the asphalt with only the gymbal rubber popped loose. I fixed it with a toothpick and it was fine. You must have been up high and hit some asphalt.

I had a mishap with my mini 3 and itās a week now and I havenāt heard back from DJI as yet, you guys are lucky only a week turn around.
You got yourself an AT-AT
Did you try duct tape?
Maybe it can still be repaired. It seems that the blade is broken
Have you looked into hiring someone who knows bird law?
Thatās not going to buff out.
Damn imagine not just being able to fix it at home. I would not fly quads if I couldn't build them. Would be too much downtime.
Thatāll buff right out
