    Mavic 2 Zoom lost to sea yesterday

    I apologize but I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had an opportunity to look at that.

    Not sure but I would say I was flying top speed because I wanted to make sure I was going to make it to home point.

    Awesome clip. It blows mind my to think of the vastness of our galaxy and the infinite universe on which we live that God Almighty created.

    So sorry that happened to you. I too just lost my M2Z last week.

    It might be hard to believe, but I did try to fly back (in reverse) right after I got the warning, I tried, in fact any direction possible but the drone just wouldn’t move. I have read some other post where the same exact thing happened to other pilots.

    Mavic 2 Zoom lost to sea yesterday

    I don’t think the flight log is showing all my commands after the moment that I got stuck in the NFZ. I tried multiple times to steer the drone east, west, south, north and up and down but it just wouldn’t move. I had plenty of time (12 minutes) to react. Every time I moved the sticks I would...

    That’s weird. I have never been to England. I did notice it was showing in the flight log that I flew in England. But that’s the file I pulled from the GO4 app

    Exactly, instead of punishing us for inadvertently making a mistake and killing our drones just make the drone automatically go back to home point or a least let us manually go back.

    Thank you. I am totally fine with all the drone regulations implemented all over the world but DJI needs to work harder on the geofencing firmware. I had never experienced something like this until I lost my M2Z, a couple of times when I was flying from an unrestricted area, my drone stopped...

    I can’t find any layer showing restriction zones on the DJI GO4 app. It has only layers of satellite and hybrid views just as apple and google maps.

    Mavic 2 Zoom lost to sea yesterday

    I couldn’t agree more with you. Lesson learned. And I take seriously all the drone regulations that we have, that’s why I was flying very low and I understand that doesn’t clear me of been at fault for flying that close to the no fly zone, but if DJI has the firmware in place to avoid...

    Mavic 2 Zoom lost to sea yesterday

    I think you are correct, but in the past while flying on some other areas DJI’s firmware would stop me from entering no fly zones, and always I was able to turn around and go back to where I took off from. To me the way sometimes this geofencing firmware works is like a dead sentence for drones...

    Mavic 2 Zoom lost to sea yesterday

    I have no doubt that I eventually ended up flying on restricted airspace but what bothers me is the fact that I wasn’t able to turn around and head back to home point. I tried to fly south, east to not avail. The drone just wouldn’t respond to my commands.

    Exactly, All the time I flew there I kept the drone close to the water as possible
