Day 2 of flying a drone... went well?

Mini 2s can take a hit and still fly fine after some minor repairs. You could fix it yourself and save some cash.

Went with DJI repair this time, but if I keep crashing like this, I might have to learn :joy:

I feel your pain :frowning:

Basically, I was flying too close to a wall. It was hovering fine, but I panicked.

Welcome to the money pit.

I don’t think I can—it was activated in 2021. I bought it second-hand for $380 CAD.

When I sent my 3-year-old Mini 2 to DJI Repair in Texas, they just gave me a new/refurbished one. They even offered to sell me DJI Care afterward. Wouldn’t be surprised if they offer you the same deal.

Yeah, over 20 satellites connected too.

How did it crash? Bird? Bad signal? Lost sight of it?

Honestly? I was trying to fly close to a wall and then pull away for a cool shot. It was hovering fine, just drifting a little like usual. But since it was facing me, I panicked when it got close to the wall and instinctively moved it the wrong way. Boom. Surprisingly, it took a lot of damage even though I caught it before it hit the ground. Might’ve hurt it more by catching it lol.

@Noor
Yeah, it happens. I’ve crashed mine three times—one inside when the sensors didn’t pick up the walls, and two outside. One hit a bush, the other got tangled in a clothesline because I was messing around with no sensors lol.

Are you gonna replace the propellers?

Yeah, if DJI doesn’t replace them, I’ll do it myself. Unless this is sarcasm because that question gets asked so much here :joy:

Lol, yeah, just joking. Sorry about your crash!
