I guess that's me and I can confirm this would happen. It would lift off when the ship drop with the wave. Nearly cut my head off as the ship was moving. In that case if I start motor while holding it high up and drop my hand it would lift off too right? Or throw it up?

@sar104 I admire your patience to teach us all and we all benefit from it. Great work as always!

I'll post my story as I've lost my MP a month ago while flying from a boat. I did it for a charity as a lady was swimming around HK Island (in 15 hours straight) for donations. I have had experience flying from a boat before while scuba diving in the Maldives, so this was not my first time. The...

Could it simply be the wrong log?

Sounds like a great idea!

I finally dig out the MP to check the battery and it has 44 charge cycles done. The battery was charged the day before the flight and I started from 100% for the flight. For those asking about the battery status.

Or give us option to acknowledge it like smart return prompt and then go silent.

I've just downloaded windy and will reference it for flight planning. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yes making the warning sound for 5 second should be enough to bring our attention to it. If a pilot still ignores it then it's his own decision to keep on flying and bearing all the risks and consequences. About rising up at the end, it's the first time I have experienced critical low battery m...

Sorry for your loss. I have a friend who lost his (and recovered 6 months later!) into a forest flying sideway as well. Without 4 way sensor like the P4P it's always risky going sideway, but we are often distracted by our subjects in the front! Hope the Mavic 2 will have all around sensors to...

This is going into more technical in a direction that I did not expect :D but it's good discussion anyway. For me I never intended to range test my Mavic for this flight nor any flight in the future. If I couldn't reach the island by 30% battery I would have given up and returned home. There are...

From Tai O, check my flight log for details.

I did post my flight log and a video earlier, you are welcome to check out the links for details.

I'll check its health later and update. A quick edit on Google Photos of this flight.
