I've several different DJI drones but only my Mavic Air has had batteries go dead. The only common thread was both of those batteries were left in the drone. The case holding the two spare batteries were down 25% -30% but that's expected. Will leaving a battery in the Mavic Air cause it to...

Another good tip I'll have to try, thanks.

Good point.

In the absence of an onboard measurement tool to monitor terrain distance, I like the suggestion of flying preprogrammed missions. Hadn't thought of that one.

When leaving from the top of a hill, other than not moving from that location, how does one navigate and still maintain a maximum altitude now that your reference point is lost?

Haven't read all the reply's but I did Quick shots with my Mavic Air for the first time yesterday, and one thing I learned is IF you have your camera on, you will be told to turn it off before you can fly. Quick shots automatically records the event, so check your album contents and you should...
