My drone fell out of the sky during a real estate shoot...
I was filming a lakefront property in Austin last Thursday and my Mavic Air just lost connection at 200 feet... it tumbled into the water and I never found it. Turns out the battery was swelling and I ignored the warning signs. Has anyone else had a drone fail on them mid-job like that?

200 feet into a lake and you just watched it sink?

Ignore those warnings at your own risk, honestly. I see people doing this with everything from car check engine lights to weird noises from their fridge, it's the same pattern of hoping it'll just fix itself. That battery swelling was basically screaming at you and you hit snooze until it was too late.
