I posted earlier about my Mini 3 crashing after some water damage. Surprisingly, the footage was exactly what I needed for a fun project! I turned it into a video where Jack Sparrow shoots down the drone. Let me know what you think!
That’s so cool! What did you use to animate it?

I did all the 3D animation in Blender and finished the rest in DaVinci Resolve.
You really delivered on your idea! Nice work

Seriously, very creative!
You deserve way more recognition for this. It’s insanely creative.
Yikes, sand. That can’t be good.

You should’ve seen the wave that hit it right before the video starts lol.

If you think sand is bad, check out their earlier post with the wave.
Haha, that makeover is brilliant! 
Looks great!
Hello, we’re sorry to hear about the crash. Could you let us know what region or country you’re in? We’d like to assist further.

Thanks, but I’ve pretty much accepted the drone as a loss since it’s out of warranty. I’m in the US and planning to upgrade to a Mini 4 Pro. Do you recommend sending in my Mini 3 for recycling or repair?
@Kenan
If you’d like to repair it, you can submit a repair request online here. Inspections are free, and you’ll receive a repair quote. For upgrades, we’re currently running a Black Friday sale on the Mini 4 Pro with a free 1-year DJI Care Refresh Plan! Let us know if you need more details.
@Kenan
If the main board isn’t fried, it’s worth sending it in. The inspection is free, and repairs outside warranty can sometimes be under $100.

Free inspection? That’s good to know. I’ll give it a shot, though I’ve heard it might have other issues long-term.
@Kenan
Yep, shipping and the inspection are free. If you decline the repair, they’ll send it back at no cost.
Your editing skills are top-notch!
10/10 job!
The editing is fantastic! But what exactly caused the crash? Did water just get inside?
