    Low GPS signal / bad vision system data leading to fly-away and crash

    This is my first post in this forum. I initially posted my story on the DJI forum and somebody suggested I post a link here as some people might find this interesting. The full details are in the DJI post, but long story short: I lost my drone flying in a famous scenic spot in China (Tiger...
