So I got my replacement Mavic after the first was replaced by DJI because of a defective gimbal.
I have flown it exactly 4 times since it arrived last Friday. Three out of the four times the aircraft has lost GPS and gone into ATTI mode about two minutes into flight. Each time the outage lasted a couple of minutes.
Twice it was in the suburbs of Columbus, GA and today it happened again smack in the middle of downtown Atlanta.
What is going on with these Mavics!?!?!?! The first one with the gimbal failure was annoying. This is totally unsafe! The first two GPS losses were in the country and totally and unobstructed skies. Absolutely no reason for GPS loss. I flew a third time (at dusk no less) with absolutely no issues for over 20 minutes. Never had a chance to fly again in Columbus because of rain.
Today in Atlanta I thought for sure I was going to crash - possible into a building. The aircraft started to drift and pitch while flying. Finally -- FINALLY you could see change to IN FLIGHT (No GPS) then go back to ATTI mode and do it again. Finally it went back to GPS and it stopped drifting and pitching.
Each time this has happened there have been full "bars" (for lack of a better term) on the display for GPS and have the "Ready to Fly (GPS)" green display. Stayed that way for a while until the loss of GPS....
I guess I need to send it back AGAIN as defective?!?!? Why is it doing this?
