DJI Phantom 2 fall at Vingerklip, Damaraland, Namibia. The Phantom lost signal when it went behind the mountain and “returned to home”. Unfortunately, the Vingerklip (Afrikaans for Finger Rock) was between me and the drone. Drone survived with minimal damage.

There needs to be a way to change the return to home setting.
There is, RTH or land where it is. Its right in the software can’t miss it
under the advanced menu
Congrats on making your video to FailArmy’s “Best Fails of the Week 4 May
2014” episode!
A penis rock?
There should be some sort of long range sensor to avoid this.
I want a copter :0
this is why the return home function needs the ir sensors to spot any
posible hazards on the way.
I’m thinking about purchasing one:
Was this your first ever flying device? Or have you had other ones previous
to this? Do you like it? How easy is it to fly for someone who has never
had one before?
This was my first flying device. It really is easy to fly. This was really
the exception. The drone came away from it with only superficial damage.
The GoPro did take a considerable hit and although this will working had a
scratch to the lens. Go for it, I highly recommend the Phantom 2!
+Grant Peacock How much did yours cost? and does the gopro you had stream
to a device on the controller? Also, do you mind linking the one you have
from amazon?
Naza at its best
Amazing sight and then amazing fail.

Oops
Lost LOS to transmitter?
Doh. That guy should have known better 🙂
Am I the only one who finds this rock kinda scary?
Pretty sure the drone is scared of it now.
Can’t fault the Naza… it did what it was supposed to do. As for it being
your first flying device… a sim would have been preferred to save some
repair costs. Gotta anticipate a loss of signal flying around solid rock in
the LOS…. at least it wasn’t over a crowd of people or a busy area of
traffic.
مدري وش السالفه لاكن نسلك
