Hey everyone im new to the forum,I signed up here because looks people on this site seem to have better understanding about the mavic than the dji site. So here is what I posted on the other site
So this moring I went to fly my drone,Like I've done before i set everthing up put the drone on the pad, Did the auto lift off and let it set the home point.
Everthing was going great, had a great signle and 59% battery left, then i got a message on the dji go app (I think it said weak signle) so I hit return to home just to be safe, as soon as I hit that BOOM everthing went down, the controller went back to connect mode (87% battery BTW) and the DJI go app pretty much shut off and disconnect from the drone, Tho the map was still up with the spot where it had lost single.
At the point I was thinking its ok I hit return to home like I have before and it would come back, so I waited about 5min and nothing it never came back( EVEN tho on the map screen there was a green line going back to my position.
So I jumed in the car and drove down the road to where it was on the map, I pulled into the person driveway and there it was next to a camper and it landed on its feet and the lights were still on, the drone was little beat up few samll scratches the gimble was broken (looks like the mount) and all the blades were chewed up.
So i start asking myself what the heck happened, I checked the flight records and from what I can tell the motor shut off (around 320ft) and went into freefall from what i can tell and must of it the ground, and maybe somepoint after that im going by what the data sais it tried to take off again? So anyway as you can imagine im pretty upset at this point and would love some input on what might have happened???? TAHNK YOU in advance.
