Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit postFour-month-old DJI Mavic 4 Pro with about seven flights disconnected from the controller mid-flight, entered automatic return-to-home, then flipped and fell from roughly 120 m after ESC thermal damage and motor desynchronization. Owner says DJI confirmed hardware failure in writing, later blamed wind, promised then denied a replacement, and offered only a discount on a paid replacement of a roughly $2200 aircraft.
