S800 EVO Crash -- Mea Culpa

This is a rather expensive DJI S800 EVO, so in general I'm very careful with it. Here are the results of focusing on one aspect and forgetting what seems like a simple thing.

Whilst going back and forth from my bench working on the gimbal, I was lowering the aerial each time to avoid damage from going through doorways.

The gimbal has been a piggy to set up! On this flight I forgot to raise the aerial (which contains the GPS and compass). Within seconds I knew something was wrong, and seconds later a fairly hefty repair bill.

It seemed as if all the corrections I put in resulted in movement 90 degrees from what I expected.

I've made myself a pre-flight checklist to the laminated and kept in the flightcase!
