This was my understanding, starting point is zero. No matter where you are.
Though now with UK law if you fly out over a drop/ravine/cliff and that is over 120m you're breaking the law. So the altitude reading can lull you into a false sense of height.
Though with my Air if I fly below...
That's what I suspect, operator error, it appeared to be trying to decend so I pushed left stick forward and thought that I gained a little altitude, then a 'bump' occurred which can be seen in the video. After that it went off on it's own.
I've hovered over water before at less than 10m but...
First recalibration the app requested was in a field. No obvious metal nearby or underfoot. Second location was the side of a hill, again not obvious metal. Only location that didn't require a recalibration was at the lakeside where the incident happened.
I've flown this particular mavic air...
That's definitely the right flight, I only did one over Ullswater. It was the only one over a lake this weekend. I remember gaining altitude or at least moving forward on the left stick until the screen said 6m. I guess I'm not remembering it accurately.
Though when the bump and drift...
Ah, My mistake. Thankyou.
For anyone reading through this having trouble uploading the flight log... follow the instructions. I did not an spent way too long trying to sort it out.
Here's the generated report. It's identical to the ones I get in Airdata. I could've shared a link from there?
DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
Looks like the issue was with my phone, I couldn't upload from there.
Thanks for the help and your patience
