Flying my Mavic Platinum Pro last year and noticed battery would remain at 100% for quite some time into flight Then one day returning home with 30%, drone got ready to land and battery level just dropped from 28% to 5% in seconds and crashed nearly on top of me. DJI replaced-Thank you DJI Today...

I fly drones for enjoyment and some scouting, surveying I take very few pictures and almost no video- I just enjoy flying(and apparently crashing) over my crops and woodland I recently bought a used MPP that came with a set of Polarpro filters but no instructions They are labeled CP, ND8...

With DJI it is ALWAYS my fault They send several emails from different people with different case # for the exact same drone warranty claim Ask for flight records even after I send them- ask for receipts even after I submit And then send a bill for NO answers at all DJI just seems to want to...

My bad 1 battery came with a DJI refurbished MPP in late july 1 battery with this DJI refurbished MPP in September Receipts on both purchases In the past I have gotten much more information from this forum than DJI All I ever got from them was a bill Any suggestions where to send for repairs?

the MPP started losing the tractor and I tried to get it to its right to keep up yes Drone was on tractor's right moving to its right- tractor was traveling south at about 2 mph That's when everything went wrong Drone raced backwards at top speed I normally fly at 160 feet but was lower to watch...

could you look at this flight? Same MPP- I was following a tractor in field when drone just went into full uncontrolled reverse and luckily made a relatively soft landing in some tree branches- same deal with battery 100% showing 4+ minutes into flight

Thanks I have lost 2 drones to unexplained crashes and this MPP has had 2 near crashes before today. Your explanation sheds some light on a real mystery. Would there be anything to gain by contacting DJI warranty? Batteries and drone less than 4 months old.

Hope this is correct

Flying today for first time in several months Batteries charged- everything fine I did notice battery showed 100% till 3:50 in flight Flew till 30% battery warning then hit RTH Everything good= Drone back over landing pad 23% battery 23:40 in flight Drone starts down from 200 feet and sudden...

That is the best guess so far Thanks Drone was flying sideways to it's right This was quite a large target and moving at 2 mph

The logs are posted but no feedback yet

Yes I have seen some distortion in the camera view with the cover on. I have also noted drone senses obstacles in wide open airspace and blamed it on the glare/reflection from the cover. Worse when sun is lower in sky. So you believe MPP may have lost subject and raced backwards to try to locate...

I have studied my flight records but I can find no reason for MPP to suddenly accelerate backwards What am I missing?

Flying Mavic Platinum this afternoon in a open field. After takeoff I set drone to active track and locked on my tractor pulling a harvester at about 2 mph- set to profile and just let drone fly while I watched what was going on. Mavic was about 50 feet high and 40 feet west of machine...

I did charge but then the drone turned on but gave a battery error message and would not start I still have 3 batteries so can fly quite a bit Batteries are an expensive part of flying for certain Thanks
