FYI dji is replacing my drone under warranty Booyah

So why does it try to go anywhere unless I hit the RTH button as a Plan B? I'm perfectly capable of flying with the joysticks. Again there was certainly no wind at the location... I was hovering for only a few seconds among the trees. The drone can certainly hover properly without a gps/compass...

not sure how any of that would make the drone decide to take off without any input. Improper RTH maybe, Improper position on the map, ATTI mode should be the safety fall back... but not actually flying away

Are compass issues common? Because I wasn't prompted to calibrate on this flight, but my previous launch --in a forest with no interference-- it wouldn't calibrate

I certainly didn't launch from the double railway tracks. The tracks with the railcars are down below at the shoreline running east-west I was filming a train coming across the bridge north -south. I was up above (hillside) closer to the gravel lot, in the trees. That's where the trail is...

Flight log should work I didn't see anything that I didn't already know. Even the weather tab supports my theory.

No the trail is up on the hillside, the bridge is at the shoreline. I was panning away from the bridge before the drone took off

Launched from a trail in the woods, Over a railway bridge, where the forest meets the waterfront in bates park Crashed at the yellow highway bridge.

I'm working on it, but my Mac is also dying so I can't hook up to itunes

I was just careful. I flew over Brighton UK on the coast during crazy winds, as well as over Lake Como in the Italian Alps, 1000m on Vancouver Mt. Seymour.... This was at sea level on a clear day... I just feel like something mechanical failed for it to behave this way.

Then no unfortunately. I thought it came with it and I just had to extend it after a certain point. I have the serial number though. Also it says they don't replace lost drones anyways, but this situation seems odd.

i cant remember, i havent had it more than 90 days, and i think it was offering me an extension in the app but i never purchased it? not sure where id find it

So i bought a mavic air back in August, for a trip to Europe in September. Did some practice flights, no problems, got comfortable. Have been doing some local filming since i returned. Flew over some big cities in Europe and over water, in wind between mountains, through forests, again no...
