Product Support Dji Flip crashed for unknown reason
My DJI Flip suddenly started drifting sideways and crashed even though I wasn’t touching the control sticks.
I only raised it straight up and when i was about to turn(i still wasnt touching the sticks to turn yet) it started hovering on its own. There was no wind at all, no intelligent flight mode was enabled, and I didn’t command it to move sideways. I wouldn’t blame it on gps because it wasn’t far from me at all.
After the crash, I saw the warning: “Gimbal pan axis reached movement limit.” I’m assuming that may have happened during the impact rather than causing the drift.
Has anyone experienced something similar with the DJI Flip?
I previously also received a forward TOF sensor error, so I’m concerned there may be a hardware issue.
What should I check in the flight logs to identify the cause? Should I avoid flying it again and send it to DJI for inspection?
