Small update - its been about 5 days
The mavic was in the rice for about 2 days and then out in a warm sunny area for another 3.
It now seems to be working - connecting again to RC and gimbal is starting up correctly.
I took it up today to test it briefly. Flew fine.
All seems good - apart...
I agree it seems to be unclear - however i think it would just be fly a bit higher to compensate for any drop and be vigilant and i guess get some water skids on the feet !
oK - so over a placid lake and very low probably about 4ft and then down to 2 ft to try and get the ripple shot.
I was hovering.
Ive been down lower than 1ft with the p3 - but id forgotten to remember the stories about those with mavic (or those with vps) and water..
The water was dark so...
Thanks guys
Unfortunately I didnt get refresh from DJI although it did get a refreshing mountain cold water dip in the lake
Does that count ?
I wonder if there are any places in EU that are doing repairs for non dji refreshers.
Hi Kiter
If you read around always make sure you turn of vps as it gets confused with the water surface and can mis report the height etc.
This is what basically happened with me when I was trying to get an arty shot just above the water with ripples showing...
Unfortunately the mavic got fully submerged in a local fresh water lake I was filming on - user error -
Next steps - I did
Stuck it in rice for 3 days and got it to turn back on.
However, now the RC does not want to connect to mavic, shows its forever connecting - and also the gimbal is...
I have read and seen video where the drone is put in a vacum sealed box- pressure taken out to fool the pressure sensor and then take off immediately....
