DJI Avata 2 | Crash at 31 MPH

What was supposed to be a gentle cruise when hiking at Kinder Scout turned into a costly mistake.
Flying in manual mode, yes still a newbie, lost signal. My default, as an Air 3 and Mini 3 Pro flyer is to gain height. Panicking and forgetting that the left stick 'Up' in manual is thrust - Found myself heading to the ground at full power
Cant believe the prop guards came out unscathed and DJI Care Refresh
I think that's what happened?

Busted its ass

Should have gone to failsafe rth instantly. My dji fpv does that if i loose signal suddenly. Its scafy cos goggles go dark. But even if your diving straihjt at the ground and loose signal it should instantly stop (emergency brake doeant matter if your upside it just stops and hovers to your preset altitude and comes back. Any idea why that sidnt happen? Considering its the latest

I'm sorry for your crash hope it's ok. But can you tell me how to get the map on the screen like yours? It looks like google maps, or is some other third party app? Thanks

Hi. I just took a screen recording from the DJI fly app. If you sync your flight data you can replay all your flights

Sorry for your loss. Isn’t it suppose to rise and return back? What happened exactly?

[@camperanddroneguy]

Yes RTH was enabled (Rise, Land or Hover) but it all happened a bit too quick.. 100% my fault - I basically flew it into the ground

[@rurouni168]

Sorry for your loss bro, were you flying in manual mode?

[@camperanddroneguy]

Yep

[@Roys_Drones]

bummer...

[@saltan2]

Where was the crash in the vid?

[@ukmonk]

Hope you get it fixed. Didn’t you have RTH enabled?

[@camperanddroneguy]

Yes RTH was enabled but it all happened a bit too quick..

[@MMMoisty]

I could tell you where about to lose range then going left behind the hill. Rough for you, hope easy repair process

[@Iron_Pan]

Ouch! Lost connection again. I hope it's insured.

[@camperanddroneguy]

I know, there's a theme here. I'll learn my lesson soon. Yes I have care refresh so all good.

@@camperanddroneguy When Avata loses its signal and dives into the ground, it is really worrying. I've seen a few videos where, after Avata lost its signal, it returned safely home without any problems. Your two crashes makes me very nervous every time signal on my Avata is weak and in the red.

[@camperanddroneguy]

@@Iron_Pan Return to home does work, it's saved me many times when I've pushed it too far. Just the crash's you've seen have happened a couple of seconds before RTH can trigger. My fault, the Avata works as it should.

Hope you can get it back up in the air soon 👆

[@camperanddroneguy]

DJI Care refresh, new drone in 48 hours...

[@DFD1]

@@camperanddroneguy Yeah. Happy landings then 😉 I took the DJI care as well for the Avata 2. FPV flying is definitely way more exciting and it just screams 'hit that gap man' 😎

[@badboytommy187]

How much to repair the Dji avata 2 from the😢

[@camperanddroneguy]

Have care refresh so a cheap and simple replacement

[@tooinchi]
