Crash video

This was a spectacular crash! So far, I replaced two propellors. When I test-fly I'll see if there are any internal problems. Crossing my fingers. What happened was I was filming perpendicularly and the trajectory took the ATOM next to the trees. I looked for the drone, couldn't see it where I looked, and panicked. I forgot to look at the screen for the view from the camera. I did a 180 and accelerated, thinking that would bring me away from the trees, but it went right into one. Altitude was 30-50 feet. I heard it crash and went over to look for it, finding it with two broken propellors. I tried replacing the propellors on the field, but then I remembered that the propellers must match properly, and went home. Looked in the manual which told me what to look for and replaced the blades with the correct ones. So now I'm ready to test. This time from the middle of the field.
