There goes 500$, on the grand scheme of things, a 500$ loss over the span of 7 years is pretty good
I pulled the SD, il find out in a couple of days if it's corrupt or not, photos to follow

Now I gotta lowball some locals for new mini 2
I had a friend who was lining up his drone for a group shot along the shore of a lake. He decended at an angle towards us and planned to level out a few feet above the water and fly directly towards us at the shore. We all watched it come down and then heard a plop sound. He misjudged the distance to pull up at and dove straight into the lake. We weren't able to retrieve it so all footage from before was lost as well.
