    Mini 3 Pro "flyaway" Lost control!

    I have been flying roughly 4/5 years with a mavic pro and last year bought the mini 3 pro, I use a drone most days when the weather allows at West Bay over the water. Haha the gulls can be a pain, but they are no different to any other seaside town. It certainly won't deter me, I used my mavic...

    Mini 3 Pro "flyaway" Lost control!

    Oh, I meant the video gives an idea of my height at my lowest point which would have been well out of reach of a wave and the riders. Just unsure how to download the video.

    Mini 3 Pro "flyaway" Lost control!

    Yeah, it's further away then I had planned to be, but the conditions were good and I had no problems with signal. I was also in comms with another pilot who was situated much closer on the east pier who could see my drone, but 1 second it's there, the next it's gone, hence the post and wanting...

    Mini 3 Pro "flyaway" Lost control!

    So it was a race event that happens here once a year. The organisers are always happy with us taking the drones up. We liaise with them so we know who is where with their drones. At the time of the crash I was the only one up and all of the riders(jet ski's) were in front and in my frame. They...

    Mini 3 Pro "flyaway" Lost control!

    I appreciate the detailed reply! When it happened, I was easily a few metres above the water. The water was relatively flat as it was a calm day. I also took off 3 or more metres above sea level if that makes any difference. Sadly I dont see any saved video on the handset which I know would help...

    Hi from the UK!

    Hey guys, new member here from Dorset, UK. I was told about the forum by a fellow pilot and member who said it would be the best place to get some advice! I did just post a thread about a recent flyaway, but I think it got removed and I'm unsure why! Is there something I need to do before...

    Mini 3 Pro "flyaway" Lost control!

    Hey, this is my first post and sadly not a good one! I was out flying my mini 3 pro close to my home at the weekend over the sea, I had been trying to grab some pics and footage of jet ski's visiting the area. The conditions were good and at the time of the incident I was trying to compose a...
