Rookie pilot in a rush. After unboxing and charging I switched the drone, controller and IPhone on. It connected to the Drone and I could see the image from the cam on the phone. No real intention of flying it at that stage. Noticed the slide button on the phone screen that indicated it would let the Mavic hover at 1.2m. Saw some footage of a Mavic doing this indoors, so thought, that is what the Drone would do if I slid the slider. I slid the slider, drone started to rise past 1.2m and kept going until it hit the ceiling. It actually stayed there flying up for 8-9sec, until my groping on the controls made the motors stop and the Drone fell to the floor. Approx 2.2m. The camera stopped working and I could not calibrate the compass when I briefly tried outside. Did fly the Drone outside a few times and the flying seemed fine. Please try not to tell me how stupid this was.
What I am trying to find out is, if this was my mistake or was this a fault or bad design from DJI?
Unfortunately I do not have the log file as I have already taken the drone in for repairs. I have the file records from the phone if that helps.
It is just that it was clear there was no satellite signal, why would the option to hover at 1.2m come available if it was not able to do so safely? While flying outside, the 1.2m hover came up again, I activated it to test and again the drone kept climbing.
Any help/insight would be appreciated.
