Mavic Pro - The little Drone that Could.... Fly into a wall

So, for the last year we've been using drones more and more and drone to where it's become a almost standard part of most shoots.   Up until now,  we've been renting the Inspire 1 Pro from CameraLensRentals.com, they've been super helped and priced pretty reasonable.   

However, owning our own drone was always the goal.   So, we bought the Mavic Pro after seeing it's amazing debut video,   It looked like it had everything, it was small, it was fast, and it shot 4K video.    The problem?   Everyone else wanted it too.    The product was originally supposed to ship by mid October, didn't get to us until the first week of December.   

Then what do we do the first day we get it?    We crash it!   Yep.  Right into the wall.   There are a few drone rules that you're supposed to live by.   Don't go over 500 Ft (400ft actually),  Always keep the drone in eye sight.   And Don't fly at night.    

I flew it at night.  Well, attempted to fly it at night, but really just flew it into a wall.   The result.  A jello'y gimbal and nearly throwing up from knowing that I just broke a rule that cost me my drone. The errors we got from DJI was that it has an overloaded motor and an obstructed Gimbal.   

Watch the video and tell us your experiences with Drones.   Thanks.
