Wow you were lucky it landed on a balcony and not crash into the building!
Glad you got your Inspire back.

Hi not sure it landed i think it must of hit a balcony couch or something soft and bounce on it's landing g. I couldn't go up and see.
The worse is i crash one in the mountain this summer an inspire 1 with the X3 found it send it to DJI and got a brand new for 780$ not bad traded for this new one I1 pro carbon fiber not the tape carbon the real thing, DJI replace my X5 for 300$ very good but the craft was fix by a DJI certify where i bought it to have a faster service estimate 1000$ to replace the harm but when i pick it up 2000$ replace compass gps front nose so i send the craft with the broken parts to DJI to have it inspected see if the work was done ok and the parfs needed to be replace, also the after market antenna that twice the range, with my 3DR Solo never a glintch, and i know the electronics i did own a Fiber Optic and telecommunication company for 20 years well i ask the a full report i will let you know :)
