Mavic took off with no command

[BIGDAVE]

HAHA I had the same thing happen to me with my first phantom.....thought I would be cute at about 1 in the morning when the wife was sound asleep and turn the motors on........I had just gotten home and was too excited to get it going......**** thing took off straight up in the bedroom........we have popcorn ceilings at the time and the props chopped chunks of it up, sending dust and speckles flying everywhere.....I was finally able to grab it by the landing gear and turn it off...........wife comes running in the room cause she heard the commotion, took one look at me staring at her with drone in hand with a face of embarrassment and she starts laughing hysterically.....good times hahaha

time to take her for a night out on the town. what a gal!!!

If you picked up your Mavic while the motors were idling the IMU probably thought that the Mavic was moving out of position and was just trying to hold position.
