I agree with the mistake of landing on the building. It resets the Return To Home (RTH) point to the top of the building. He lost contact several times afterwards while in a battery warning mode. Even if he had it set to "hover", he was low on battery. Regardless of the "rules", it's a total...

Yep- some service issues may go smooth. But when it goes bad- it goes horrendously bad. The returned mine unassembled with a bag of screws, no gimbal lock on clear ESD producing bubble wrap. At this point, I'd never buy DJI again. I'll sell the Mavic and buy an EVO within the next month.
