So I was flying my DJI Avata 2, and everything seemed fine… until it wasn’t. It just crashed out of nowhere. I’ve replayed the footage, and I can’t figure out what happened. Was it something I missed, or is this just bad luck? Appreciate any ideas you guys might have.
Looks like you crashed.
Did you not see the fishing line?

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

But wait, the line shows up over the ‘motor stopped’ alert. It looks more like interference or a glitch than an actual line.
Could’ve been one of those drone trip wires.
Looks like it hit the environment and went down.

No, it went past the environment and into who-knows-where.

At least the front didn’t fall off, so there’s that.
It says high winds… maybe a gust hit it while you were maneuvering, and it couldn’t handle it.
It really looks like a fishing line. Did you check the area to see if someone was fishing?
You were flying too low.

TERRAIN TERRAIN!!
Probably windshear from the right. The high-wind warning was on, and it looks like you ignored it.
Pause the video just before the crash. You were at 5.9ft, and it looks like the autostop kicked in. Too low and fast for it to recover.
If there was a fisherman, we’d see them. The ‘fishing line’ theory doesn’t hold up because it only appears after the crash starts. Am I missing something?

Agreed. The ‘line’ moves way too fast to be a real object. I did see a ship in the background… OP might’ve flown too close to it, and maybe they were testing counter-drone tech or something.
What drone were you flying?

DJI Avata 2.
Honestly, I’m still not sure why it crashed. Maybe I missed something?
