My Surge saved my life today when my €3000 DJI Inspire decided to do a “Fly Away” and crash into a tree.

- 2 smashed up propellers = had replacements
- 1 broken camera mount bracket = temporary fixed with two zip ties, and cut using the Surge Scissors
- motor mount got bent = was able to loosen the mount and mount it correctly again, using the Surge and the bit kit

- recalibrated the remote
- recalibrated the compass

And I was back in the air and was able to finish the footage for the client.











The Surge, Bit kit and some zip ties saved my life today!

Nope....this is what the flight looks like in the flight records.



For some reason it went into ATTI mode and just took off in one direction, instead of going into “Return-To-Home”

A Typical DJI GPS Error.

The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine with his DJI Phantom 3, so it seems to be a “bug” with them.
