    Mavic3 advanced return home flew into tree and destroyed itself. $4000 gone!!!!

    Thanks for your interest , I’ll work on it , I’d sure like to know what happened. As far as I’m concerned what happened is my M3 totally autonomously in Advanced RTH flew right into a very visible tree with no help! While my memory is not that good my more I know I pushed the RTH button and...

    Just testing as I had successfully before, just push the button to go home.the same home point used for many many returns to home with my other Dji aircraft. If it was loss of signal or poor lightning all would have been well as it would have returned just as I set it up with plenty of...

    Mavic3 advanced return home flew into tree and destroyed itself. $4000 gone!!!!

    I had a few good RTH’s with my new M3 and some that ended in a hover amongst trees (bypass selected) and needed my input to bring safely home. I was using the same home point in my yard as I use with my other DJI aircraft (mini, mini2, Air2, Air2s, M2pro and M2 zoom) with no problems with...
