    Drone turning upside down in midflight. Why?

    Everybody thinks it can't happen, but it does. All the files and reports notwithstanding. I did not buy (my fourth) DJI to download files and post on a computer. I just want to fly and take pix. So far very disappointed with Mavic Pro. Right now the problem is "no Image transmission" after...

    Drone turning upside down in midflight. Why?

    My Mavic Pro has flipped upside down and crashed - with hands off controls three times. First two times from low altitude on grass no damage. Last time in a lake. been screwed up ever since the lake. All three times in close proximity to aluminum structures; boat docks, fences, light poles etc...

    M2P Inexplicably Crashed Into The Pacific

    BTW thanks for your comments, but I think many of us should consider that there are many sources of on two of my M2P crashes (lawn and lake) the M2P flipped upside down (pointing toward me hover about 8' high and flipped clockwise) and crashed that way. Scared my cat half to death on the lawn...

    M2P Inexplicably Crashed Into The Pacific

    The logs apparently log what the electronics think happened. I know all the experts say they are infallible, but I know on two of the uncommanded crashes I experienced, I was not touching the controls, and I always had at least 50% battery. Until DJI recognizes that an uncommanded descent can...

    M2P Inexplicably Crashed Into The Pacific

    I have been flying DJI Drones for six years now and the Mavic 2 Pro is the only one that inexplicably crashes like this. Mine has done it four times now. Once in a lake - new camera, Once on a lawn - no damage, once on concrete from about 10 feet - minor damage, last time it crashed from hover...

    Height stability over water

    Mine has the two big screens on the bottom as well as two other smaller sensors - probably IFR. Something causes it to crash when hovering low with satellite and normal flight mode over water or smooth surface. I think it is those sensors. I will post more after I try some other things. It's...

    Height stability over water

    Oh, and yes I have the latest firmware - just updated it both drone and RC. I have downloaded all kinds of data, but cannot figure out what to do with it or how to interpret it. Book does not help and all the tutorials don't seem to work for me. Do I want to download "Black Box" or "Flight Logs"...

    Height stability over water

    Page 44 of Mavic Pro manual shows how to disable "Forward Vision System" which also seems to control downward vision system. I can tell you absolutely that something causes sudden descent when over water or any fairly smooth surface. Mine survived a bath in 5' of fresh water by drying in the...
