Indeed. And I explained exactly what happened. This was their (accurate) conclusion: "According to the analysis, the incident was not caused by any product issue. The aircraft cannot detect or avoid any obstacles. Please fly with caution."

Other models (e.g. DJI Mini 3 Pro) *can* detect and avoid obstacles, so I wonder if they would have given me an even bigger discount on a new drone if it were one of those models.
