@@nia6849 Mavic Air is not a reliable drone on the mountain, due to loss signals. I will recommend Phantom if there is no size issue or Mavic Pro 2 if you need to carry with your trail.
you can contact the DJI if it was the software bug of DJI system and report the issue, they may give you a new drone for free. that was my experience. My drone was suddenly drop into the lake due to a technical issue.
The biggest thing is learning from one's mistake and so not to repeat the mistakes. No need to beat up yourself when unfortunate things happen no matter how big as we can try avoid all unfortunate circumstances but our foresight is limited. These are merely material things you lost, these losses can easily be replaced unlike other things such as one's health and loved ones. So dust yourself off and smile and enjoy what's ahead!
Most intelligent thing said in the video was "I think while I'm emotional, I can't make any decisions". I like that you took the time to cry and to get out the emotions from the experience. I enjoyed that you even were making jokes to help lighten the mood. However, most importantly, you recognized that you needed to get out the emotions and move on from the experience (including mourning in all black) before making any drastic life decisions.
Don't apologize for your behavior on this vlog. It's understandable. What a downer and my heart goes out to you for all that loss. I hope that you're doing better and recovered and that you will continue to travel and share with us.
Maybe the dumb hoore should apologize for effectively littering. She should then be thankful that she wasn't charged $20,000 for rangers to retrieve her trash. So the f you mean "don't apologize"? Channeling your inner europid eh? One of these days your kind will get the beating you deserve. Btw, her fake exclamations playing to the camera was also cringe to watch
Dear Claire,I felt so sorry for you. It is good that you can cry out loudly. It will release your emotion. It is not healthy to bottle ip up. You will certainly be able to buy another one in no time at all. As long as you are safe and sound and healthy, you can recover the monetary lost in a blink of your eye. Keep Happy and Healthy. Justin is God send good companion for you in your sad and happy situations. Keep up your Up Beat Spirit !
Randomly starting watching your vlog of Mountain Hua, initially I wondered why you're in such hurry to finish one place after another. I jumped back to the start of the journey seeing the trip plan there, which covers almost all major attraction of China, then I realize why the plan is so compact. Those places took me 10 years to visit them all in several separated trips. Each time we got one week or so. You guys journey not only bring back my memory of China, but also remind me how my parents and I managed to cover west and east coast in 2 weeks in US. When you're in a foreign country and being pushed by the compact travel plan, if you happens to be a goal-oriented person, mistake is just inevitable. I understand why you cry and laugh at the same time. Losing mavic would probably make you depressed for the rest of that day, but losing lens right after just make whole things dramatic. You know it just isn't your day.That's when that you started making fun of yourself by saying that gold line "The good news is my bag is gonna be lighter from now on."
@@uniquejing you dont get what i meant. try to fly a drone in no fly zone area, you might be in jail. how about you fly your drone in beijing and make a video about it.. if you get away with it, than what you said is true. and come back and give us the link.
Ouch that's tough, sorry for your losses. First thing I did with my mavic is turn off all OA and service and wifi when I take off, and auto updates when I have a good stable software version. OA is the source of many problems and f-ups tho.
Yup, I have had my share of mishaps in China. I learned to take my time and start up all my gear at my hotel, before going to my destination. I missed lots of drone footage because I didn’t register, didn’t update, broken SD card and dead battery. Glad you could laugh and cry about it.
Hi Claire, to launch DJI drones in China, you've to use a local Sim... OR... use VPN on your phone to deceive the app that you're in another location! You can fly, but can't see the map terrain on the DJI Go. I intended to get a local sim card for flying my drone in China, but had a hard time buying one as you'll need a local person's ID to register the SIM. Figured using VPN was easier...
Please forgive me, I couldn't help myself but back here and watching this vlog for the second time. I still couldn't stop laughing, even though I felt all your pain and feeling sorry for your $2000 lost. Love all your videos.
The reason why DJI requires a local number is to ensure that you've got the permission to fly a drone in certain areas. Anyways I'm sorry for your loss
oh my, sorry for you. but in china you can always ask for some help, it may help you get your Memory card back at lest. even people dont speak english they will know you need help and find some one who can speak, make phone calls for you etc. and its for free. some times you can also try service line in china, it may not work, but some times it may surprise you. it depends on policy in different countries, and it will not replace u a new one (dji, and caused by their bugs). but it may help u get a new one with low price. i have some chinese equipments buy in france and i called chinese service and they did help me.
Here in Canada one can subscribe to a SIM card with a Chinese phone number for only CAD$1.99+tax per month, which you can actually use in China -- 2.5 cents per minute outgoing and free incoming calls. It's not even an issue worth "cracking" !
I feel your pain, just started flying my mavic mini and it took an allergic reaction to a tree. At least I found it after 4 hours of wandering through a forest. Currently praying to the god of superglue to fix the broken arm. Have you started flying again?
You are soooo adorable. Love your videos. I can't stop watching them one by one. Sorry for your lost...but I really can't help laughing when I find Justin laughing while you were crying
I feel sorry for you! I crashed my Mavic in the canadian rockies it fell off the cliff near a huge waterfall. It took me 2 hours to climb down the cliff and get it back. Now my mavic 2 has way much more noise when it flies now….
Actually, in Zhangjiajie, there is a dangerous work that spidermans got down with wires and collect all fall-outs at the bottom regularly. At least the good thing is your drone's battery may not pollute the land there.
The Avatar mountains in the Zhangjiajie National Park called you back the next day, and you listened, returning for another opportunity, not to conquer the mountains, but to conquer yourself. Our frail and feeble minds cannot always perceive the 'Beyond' revealing Itself in the slight details of our everyday. It's curious how in the previous video your own words foreshadowed the knowledge of what was coming. "I hope the issue with the drone doesn't plague me the rest of the trip." As they say, language exerts hidden powers like the moon on the tides. Thank goodness, you learn your lessons and recover from losses well. Moreover, one never knows what worse luck your bad luck saved you from. Thank you, Justin Black for being a friend and a great travel companion. You lightened up the whole ordeal, and I ended up laughing about it, myself.😄 "Each misfortune you encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck.” - Og Mandino
It takes less than 10 dollars to get a Chinese number. You can throw it when you leave. Or you can get a US sim from China telecom/Unicom US which would provide you both Chinese and US numbers
People were all looking back at you when you went all OMG on that puppy lolllll And btw, sorry for your loss, but please be cautious next time flying a drone in mountaneous regions, because it is very hard to clean up the debris....Mountain cleaners literally need to risk their lives for that, because the topography is very tricky. So please please be careful.
It's heartbreaking. I had my Spark crashed to the ground when I tried to fly it out from my hotel balcony. 14 floors below!!! And guess what, I got myself a Mavic Pro after that. So, which new drone have you got yourself then? Cheers!
Last year I lost my drone in the lake. A big white gull just carry it off and drop it into the lake. And all my friends are laughing. Well sometimes you just need to pay the price.
Sorry for your loss... I also lost my favorite hat in Zhangjiajie when I was 12 and led to tons of tears and cries. Just hope the monkeys made good use of that....
Sorry that you lost your drone and lens. I lost my Mavic at Mt. Fuji in a large lake. I know the feeling. You are correct about drone flying. It is getting harder and harder.
oh man.. that sucks.. I was once a self funded documentary filmmaker as well. That would be a worst nightmare.... I remember being close to being robbed in Marseille, and on the overnight train crossing the border of Spain and France. Good news is, you will always have this adventure story for the rest of your life :)
When you dropped the expensive gears off the cliff, you should notify park officials to where, when, what types of equipment lost, they might be able to find them for you, it may takes several days.
I would cry, too. The most expensive lens I lost was a $485 Canon EF 85mm f1.8. I put it in my hoodie pocket that had no zippers to close it. I leaned out on a rock over the ocean in a way to better photograph a model. I leaned too far to the left and so the lens fell into the ocean. :( Your phone asked for a phone number? Your phone sounds hacked. Was it?
I am sorry for your loss but this really reminds me of the girl who had a melt down in a car where she shouted to her friend: "SHOW ME SUPPORTTTTTT!!!!"
Awww...I feel your pain Claire. I would cry too. But you trying to stay positive was too cute. This incident is too relatable. We are humans, so it is understandable when we are extra clumsy on some days. It was terrible luck for you that day.
So sorry to see the misfortune with your equipments. I was there in oct 2018. I saw 2 tourists dropped their cellphone off the cliff whilst taking a selfie. I saw their look of horror & devastation. (Apparently it’s a common mishap according to one of the park patrols.). Maybe it’s the mountains’ way to tell us to just enjoy its glory & magnificence without any distractions. 🤔
Damn, that's quite an expensive trip. remember to set your drone before each talking-off, make sure it will fly back automatically when it lose control.
I had the same issue with my Mavis air in Guilin. It would prompt for a chinese phone number and would drift. I didn’t get to use it that year. For zhangjiajie I worked out how to use the Mavis air in China. Use a separate phone with no SIM card, turn off WiFi on the phone when flying. Obviously download the maps required at your hotel first. Hope you get flying drones again. 😎
I sold my Mavic Air for a Mavic Pro 2. Countless times I had issues with that fricken drone (video quality isn't great and it's noisy as F), so many times I couldn't fly for some BS reason. So although this was costly lesson, if you buy another drone, defo get the pro or pro 2, much better drone even though I acknowledge this particular issue is software related, way less issues and far more stable and reliable!
If you are going to buy a drone again, it will have to be DJI because it's the best, for now at least. I can tell from your brief description you didn't do it correctly. You should 1st. wait till GPS is functioning before taking off，2. use auto take off, 3. RTH height set to a number that's not too high but higher than nearby highest objects. 4. set to auto RTH if control is lost, so when you encounter anything unexpected, just turn off the remote and the drone will fly back by itself. I have two DJIs for over 3 years and always obey these simple rules, so I can always have my drones back no matter what happens, like phone frozen up or dead etc.
Poor Claire! I feel sorry for your loss... I am also a RUclipsr and I can imagine how you felt about it... hope you will get this back. Nice videos btw! ;)
That's such a shitty situation, I haven't updated my firmware on my Phantom in quite a while because I'm scared of some malfunction that might occur within the new firmware
DJI is a Chinese company, maybe is cheaper then the US if you bought it in China. I remember there is one DJI store on Nanjing Road, in Shanghai where you visited it.
lens once told the drone, you jump i jump.
hahaha omg that lens is free now
OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What would make that day worse: finding out that the drone hit the head of some animal and killed it.
understand your feelings. I also dropped my canon 580 flash from the bridge into the river when shooting in the dark.

did you pick the trash or leave it behind in the nature?
Damn, that's quite an expensive trip. remember to set your drone before each talking-off, make sure it will fly back automatically when it lose control.
same for crashing my lens in Beijing! then bought wrong lens there, and quickly found another lens there. Hoping memory is better than your loss
omg this is so incredibly sad... I can't stop laughing xD

how did you capture all drone footage? did you record it before it fell down?
The phone records a local copy that's lower resolution as you fly to provide you with a backup if something goes wrong.
someone stole $180k from my house back 2017, you will be ok.
I once tripped over a pipe on a canal tow path and wiped out a £500 Nikon lens and a iPhone 7 so I feel for you
What mic do you use?
If you are going to buy a drone again, it will have to be DJI because it's the best, for now at least. I can tell from your brief description you didn't do it correctly. You should 1st. wait till GPS is functioning before taking off，2. use auto take off, 3. RTH height set to a number that's not too high but higher than nearby highest objects. 4. set to auto RTH if control is lost, so when you encounter anything unexpected, just turn off the remote and the drone will fly back by itself. I have two DJIs for over 3 years and always obey these simple rules, so I can always have my drones back no matter what happens, like phone frozen up or dead etc.
Oh no 😭 That sucks big time!
The environment is looking amazing though!
Man that was $2200, I would be punching myself in the face if I lost the drone+lenses. So I guess crying a little is not overreaction at all.
Does the drone battery cause pollution to earth?

DJI is a Chinese company, maybe is cheaper then the US if you bought it in China. I remember there is one DJI store on Nanjing Road, in Shanghai where you visited it.
Excellent videos -I love your work .
sorry about your loss! but will the DJI warranty cover the drone?
Nope
Just imagining the lens rolling off a cliff in China moments after losing the drone 😂😂 love your videos!
