    Help - Need advice

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I've taken apart the drone multiple times and cleaning it the best of my ability. At this point I am in no rush to replace the drone, but got a really good deal on a mavic air which I got for 200 under msrp. The good part is there is a 30 return policy, so that...

    Help - Need advice

    Hi Everyone, So I was in mexico a few weeks ago and I was flying at the beach, just when I was getting ready to pack up my stuff and turned for a few seconds, then a wave hits. Sadly my Mavic was submerged for a few seconds, but enough to case problem. Long story short,I am left with a non...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    I've probably covered over 2 football field looks for the drone in the dense flower field over a period of 3 days of searching. The worst part is that I could only see a couple of feet into the bush. Thank you for the suggestion everyone

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    I was getting ready to set up a shot, so I had gone behind a hill and lost my LOS, but that was only for a few seconds

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    I'm not expecting miracles, but I'm hoping for the best... As for searching for the drone, if it wasn't for the bull I think I would have been out there until I found it, but my safety is my main concern and don't think it would be worth taking the risk for. I miss my drone, but at the end of...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    Went out looking for the drone today with my crop flattener and to my surprise I was greeted by a bull that wasn't exactly happy to see me. So didn't stay around long enough to find out if he was nice or not. I figure that he could have the drone and that it was not worth getting horned or any...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    My biggest concern is the sudden lost of connection and the fact it never reconnected. I've had the drone shy of 4 months and have never ran into a problem like this and I've flown it in I guess you could say less than ideal condition and never a problem. I thinking about having another go on...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    Msinger - spent most of my time in that area. So when I finally got to highest point (34.032628, -117.811231), then I pretty much started looking within about a 15 ft radius from that spot. Maybe I should have gone farther down, but at that point I was pretty exhausted and losing daylight.

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    I tried really hard to follow the path as suggested by Msinger with the GPS coordinates, but it was almost impossible to stay straight. I was really optimistic that I was going to find it, but after 4 hours I was exhausted and didn't have much left to search on, plus it was getting dark. Maybe...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    Update.. So I had my friend do a fly over the area as suggested on the route of the RTH for about an 30 minutes, but no luck. So I went back in on foot and cleared out over 100 yards through the field, then cleared out another 10 to 15 feet around the highest point and still no drone (4...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    First and foremost thank you for the help and suggestion. I didn't notice the signal bar as I was too busy panicking... I should have set the RTH attitude height higher, but a bit too late for that. Hopefully once I get my mavic back. I will make sure to set it before I go flying again. The...

    Lost Mavic after losing RC Signal - RTH fail?.

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if I could please get some help in finding my mavic. I was flying over some hills yesterday and at about 1600 ft I lost signal to my mavic. I tried running towards the mavic, but it never reconnect. The last prompt I saw on my phone was to turn on the RTH, which...
