Well, it happens to all
I've crashed the bird this morning. And I know why as well.
I was trying to fly some Autopilot modes. One was the Orbit which worked but not very convincing
Then I try the Follow mode which works on YouTube a lot better then in real life.
My height was approx 30m and distance also 30m
I noticed some erratical behaviour of the gimbal. Turning 90deg sideways. But there were birds so maybe...
Anyway, the Mavic had a hard time following my Jeep and lost me a couple of times.
I am at a building site and there are cranes here. So, I tried to reduce my height and that was a stupid thing to do. Using these modes in Autopilot overrides the distance and height protection from DJI (as they stated in their manuals). But the problem was the delay in transmission. Before I knew it, crashed.
Not much damages (outside my ego) but lessons learned.
And... have to order some new blades
