They should've designed this drone to be more 'crash friendly.'
Yes, ideally you don't want to crash the drone, obviously. But, it happens from time to time - despite how good you are at controlling the drone.
I've crashed my drone twice now, both times into a tree. It was my fault, yes. BUT, what I don't like is that when it clips a tree, Solo falls and crashes to the ground and the motors are still turning and spinning and the props break. I wish they had written software that would detect if Solo is crashing and/or has crashed - and immediately shut off the motors so that they don't continue to spin while Solo is on the ground. The motors grab the grass around it too when it's crashed spinning on the ground. Luckily, it hasn't burnt my motors.
I'm probably going to buy some prop guards, that might have prevented what happened to me today. But, don't you think there should be some sort of crash sensor that just shuts Solo down so it's not a wounded duck flapping around on the ground? Motors spinning, grabbing grass, dirt, etc. Possibly burning the motors, and even the gimbal? You might even be able to save a few props if it would just shut down when it recognizes it has crashed.
Thoughts?
