Well the other day I crashed my Anafi. It was my fault, I was flying low altitude and clipped leaves and branches of a tree...which caused it to fall on asphalt from about 15 or so feet up.
Messed up some prop screws so a couple props now bind, also one of the motor mounts for one prop got slightly bent inward. Amazingly, it still hovers fine, but when I tested it, I didn't have the SD card in. I realized I had a problem when I put the SD card in and it didn't recognize any card in there. I tried both the original and another low capacity SD card I had lying around. They are both formatted with FAT32 using a Windows PC. Both can be read by the PC, but not recognized by the Anafi. I did check the connector from the SD card to the board and it was fine, I even unplugged and replugged to make sure (they have a soldered metal bracket to keep the SD card and bottom camera in place so I had to lift that bracket a bit). Plugging the included USB-C cable directly to the drone and then to my computer does not recognize any drives being plugged in.
So I'm guessing either the impact broke the SD card assembly/ribbon cable or the mainboard has a messed up component.
What do you guys think? At this point I can either just fly as an FPV drone and maybe use my phone's screen capture to sort of record video, or fix it...or sell it like it is.
