    Mavic Air 1 - Low Altitude hold issue

    Thanks BudWalker, Slup and RGallant for your thorough analysis and discussion on my flight data. This low flight issue is an infrequent occurrence and I'll manage that or send in to DJI. Again many thanks.

    Mavic Air 1 - Low Altitude hold issue

    Today. it's a lot better, the drone did not descend until it hit the ground and ascend. It descends a bit and ascends back to the same height. Could be the slight wind and it behaves kind of OK. Noted and thanks for your input.

    Mavic Air 1 - Low Altitude hold issue

    I did 2 low-altitude flight runs and the flight records are attached. The 1st was with the battery that I thot was the culprit for the low-altitude flight issue but it was OK (as you had indicated). In both flights, there was an incident when the drone descended close to the ground but recovered...

    BTW if you see data on forced landing, it's probably actioned by me to get the drone to land on my hand.

    Mavic Air 1 - Low Altitude hold issue

    Hi guys, thanks for the input. Just to add context to the area I did on low altitude flying, it's a big flat area of grass akin to a football field. I was flying in the morning where the sun is at an angle. I read that flying drone close to water could cause VPS to be confused due to the...

    Deleted the previous flight record 'cause it's the wrong one. Here is the correct attachment of the flight that had the low altitude issue.

    Mavic Air 1 - Low Altitude hold issue

    Surprisingly, you hit the nail on the head. I did low-altitude flight (<10 ft) runs and hovering on all my 3 batteries and it was one of the batteries that caused this problem (although all 3 batteries are in good conditions and at higher altitude (> 30 ft), the drone performed beautifully with...

    Mavic Air 1 - Low Altitude hold issue

    I did not have this problem before, it surfaced about a month or two ago. Initially, I thought it might be caused by wind but noticed in my last flight that it also happens without wind. Will do some more tests and pick all of your brains for help.

    Will redo this low altitude flying again and then post the flight data.
