After all the time and effort, the excitement and love I put into flying my old Ghostdrone 2.0 again, after buying a brand new battery and after 6 years without flying, it crashed. With a mind of its own and within a couple of seconds. I had to buy another drone, and it had to be something similar: The DJI Phantom 4 Pro. I was gutted when my beloved drone crashed after being excited to fly it, thinking it would perform flawlessly. There was only one other candidate. DJI Phantom 4. Three words that are reliable and better in every way. I just couldn't accept my £1000 drone flipping over and plummeting straight to the ground. I wasn't going to let my big drone crash and that be the end of it. Flying drones of varying sizes is a lot of fun and when you opt for stability, reliability, safety and reputability, the difference is night and day.
After a possible motor failure (unlikely) or poor Wi-Fi transmission signal from the VR goggles, or due to the nature of unreliable Wi-Fi control of the drone overall, the Ghostdrone 2.0 flew erratically. It rose and ascended with a mind of its own, going haywire and flying unsteadily. This resulted in a brutal crash landing, fortunately occurring out of harm's way. Baring in mind, the condition of the VR goggles (which is responsible for the entire operation of the drone) was quite bad as the battery does not display an accurate battery percentage and has most definitely degraded, which possibly caused the drone to crash (likely), I continued to connect my phone to it and fly the drone regardless. I didn't want to keep having a replay of my drone crashing over and over and let it demotivate me. Don't be sad. Don't let things demotivate you. Stay passionate.
