One year later... never had this problem until today. Went for a quick afternoon flight, same route I've flown probably 20 times, line of sight. The RC never lost connection with the Mavic Pro, but the iPad mini 4's disconnected from the drone many times. Dropping video connection is...

Hi Earlyretirement, and sorry for delayed response. We finished the Iceland part of our trip and are now in Amsterdam. As luck would have it our AirBnB is owned by an action-sports videographer. He took a look at my Mavic and said he'd never seen an IMU error that constantly fails calibration...

Landed safely and gently, all be it covered in rain drops. From what I can tell the Mavic flew completely normal, even in the light rain, and that the "obstacle" warning was from drop/s of water on the forward obstacle cameras that made it think it was about to hit something. That's a...

Thanks for the quick reply, Thunderdrones. I tried tapping most of the drone with a spoon today. I'd also opened it up yesterday soon after the crash to check for moisture (none found). I opened it again and took a closer look today, removing and inspecting the obstacle cameras for moisture...

SUMMARY: >1 yr old Mavic pro starts the day fine. Short flight - rain starts mid-flight, gives obstacle-error (from rain?) Mavic lands fine, is wet, gets carefully dried off. Mavic has gimbal error, then compass error, then IMU error. I update firmware. Same Error 71. IMU won't calibrate (fails...
