No, i mean the error from the loss of thrust caused the drone to rapidly do an uncommanded pitch to the right so far, that it went out of the gimbals range of motion. Just like if you shake a gimbal enough, it will go out of wack, sometimes not returning to its original position. (I own a dji...

Yes, I know that, I think it got messed up with the initial motor error, with the gimbal uncommandedly turning from the frantic movements caused by the loss of thrust, (however that happened). So the gimbal rotated, 90 degrees, (somewhere around there) without the drone correcting the image, as...

Sorry...I misunderstood. I didnt mean 180 degrees. Although I still question if that's what happened. Because the flight log shows the drone flying backwards and to the left, a few seconds after the motor error, whereas the video from the drone's camera shows the drone flying forward and to the...

That sounds very odd...My initial thought was a voltage drop, but your first message says otherwise. Maybe a possible short due to condensation buildup, and/or snow? Although that seems quite unlikely. What were the weather conditions like? Humidity? Precipitation? Wind? EMP sounds almost...

It's the mini 3, so the camera can go into "TikTok mode" (vertical video mode) as I like to call it. The camera was also pointed down, so it would be hard to tell. Take a look at the drone's flight direction in the video, vs the direction of the drone's orientation in the flight log.

Just conducted a test flight with stock props. Seems to fly alright, will keep an eye on it for awhile. Thank you everyone for your help!

That's definetly a possibility. The drone must have moved out of the gimbal's range during the roll, because for a split second, I saw a weird uncontrolled movement on my phone. Also, holding that thought, the rest of the crash couldve been user error, because the gimbal flipped all the way...

this makes sense...it also makes me wonder if I did some user error as well. if you look at the crash video, from the camera angle, it looks as though the drone was flying forward and to the right, and if you look at my stick movements, i was doing the exact opposite, full backwards and left...

Here's the video link.

How do i embed the video? Its uploaded to youtube. I could just send a link.

I was relatively low, when the motor error occured, and Ive flown in windy conditions maybe hundreds of times before with no issues. I dont think the high altitude ascent had anything to do with the motor error. Ive flown the mini 3 quite a bit, and know what its capable of, the strong wind...

Okay. Never done this before, sorry for any inconvenience.

The prop didn't snap until the impact, as it was found next to the drone, i forgot to add that detail.

Was enjoying a flight with my mini 3 today, hovering over a park, when suddenly I get a message on my controller, "Motor Unable to Rotate" So I decide to bring it in. It then starts acting very wonky, flying all over the place, and the controls feel odd. I was doing my best to keep it over grass...

Finally got a chance to calibrate the sensors (twice) and do a test flight. Overcast, slight wind, and very slight drizzle. (not enough to impede flying) Had the same result for a few minutes, jerky flight forward, until I turned OA off. Continued flying, and the issue seemed to stop (Although...
