    Melbourne (Brighton Beach) - Victoria - Australia - Mavic Mini

    Only had to walk about 100m from where I took off, as it was the closest I could get. Where I took off, there was nothing acting as a wind break. So the moment I flew past the tree line, invisible wall and couldn't move any closer. Had no choice but to set her down on the path and just go fetch it.

    What generally causes IMU heading error and Compass Error. Exit P-GPS Mode?

    There is no knowing what is in this concrete. I took off from this same patch of concrete this evening, despite this morning's excitement. When I powered the drone on this time, I held it up about chest height during it's self calibration and start up. I then repeated the same flight I performed...

    Melbourne (Brighton Beach) - Victoria - Australia - Mavic Mini

    The wind was blowing against me. Meaning from the bay towards the shore. You can see it in the video which these images are taken. So naturally I didn't go far out over the water. I won't make the same mistake as I did at Jam Jerrup (the other post) where I came up against the ''invisible wall''...

    True. But when all other evidence doesn't make sense, the far-fetched must also be considered.

    What generally causes IMU heading error and Compass Error. Exit P-GPS Mode?

    Hmm. There is a decent size police and emergency services building within say, 100m of my home and where I took off. But I have never heard of police, fire or SES broadcasting anything that disruptive.

    Looking at my data on AirData.com, I can't find the reason for the issues. Why did the drone behave like it did. I have never experienced such compass/GPS failure before nor this weird fly off in the past. I am at a loss to explain it. If it is in fact what I suspect it to be - there must be...

    Is there a way to share that log without giving out location details?

    Yeah... I wouldn't count on that. My 'work' is amateurish at best... I wouldn't want to cause damage to your eyes.

    This morning I decided to get a nice shot of the sunrise from my driveway, since I am unable to leave with this crisis going on. I placed my MPP on the ground, turned on my RC, opened the DJI Go 4 app, started the drone and waited for it to give me the all green to lift off. Once it did, I...

    I own a Mavic Mini and a Pro Platinum. I registered an account here primarily because so many of my questions given to Google, ended up being answered on this forum. I am thinking maybe some experience might rub off on me if I linger here a while.
