    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    It might be a good idea to analyze the .DAT files from the very first flights to see if the problem already persisted in the fresh out of factory drone.

    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    In this case, shouldn't be the right-back motor to match the left-back output in order to achieve the required 20° tilt? As per charts, the RB thrust was higher than the front motors, but far from the the LB thrust. That's why I think the FC was struggling to coordinate the effort...

    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    Hi BudWalker, It's an interesting theory, but I would think that technically all 4 motors are the same DJI brushless motors, and if there are some differences, it could be a flight controller's fault not calculating properly the RPM's for each individual motor in a difficult situations...

    Okay, so it was a technical fault after all? I hope DJI folks monitor these threads (they better do), and take it into considerations for further improvments of their products...

    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    BudWalker, Thanks for a detailed explanation! From what I understand, the max power (thrust) output for motors can be achieved only in the sport mode. But my drone was staying in the P-mode all the time. At least before it went into RTH mode, which I believe also uses P-mode. So...

    slup and other kind people of the mavicpilots.com board, thank you for reviewing my case and for the active discussion! It’s quite an overwhelming volume of the information to process for me now! So from what I understand, there could be a fault in the Mavic Mini controllers...

    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    nicbonet, there is a lot of sense in what you said, and I personally always try to fly my drones safe and responsibly. And that's exactly why I hesitate now to fly my Mavic 2 Zoom anywhere near residential areas, as I don't have a trust in it since it drops connectivity to RC almost every...

    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    Managed to make a video from that last flight from the cached clips left in my iPad Mini. In this video, the drone was flying nicely under my full control until 1:17, between 1:17 and 1:33 I was trying to fly it back, but AC would not go, and after 1:33 - the drone was struggling the...

    Gentlemen, thank you for looking into my case and for your valuable inputs, really appreciate it! It's an interesting observation, thanks! I can see a spike on the chart when the tilt went above 20°, must be the part when drone flew down the wind along the filed, but then it never...

    Why I do believe there's a HUGE problem with the Mavic Mini - Flew AWAY the 2nd day

    Hi slup, and thank you for taking a time to look into it! I understand it was a strong wind affecting my flight. What I don't understand - why the АC lost video feed to the RC and the drone stopped responding to the stick commands, while the telemetry was still coming to the very same...
