I wasn't in tripod mode. RTH was set - not hover. Verified in flight data RTH GPS position and minimum height of 30m. It was the remote control that disconnected... & at same time all video & data to the app stopped, of course... That was what scared me most at first, as have had situations in...

Flightpath by timpani posted Jan 8, 2018 at 9:14 PM flight path - it took 30% of battery to fly & shoot video until the Mavic disconnected... 70% of battery left, and no abnormalities with battery cell use, as per flight record DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

Sure but you know what he means - if it was RTH head on into a gale force wind it would expire the battery faster...

Sure, but as the flight path shows, I flew in every direction with no real problem and it only took 30% of the battery to reach the furthest point. And during that time I flew a big 180 around the yachts, with & against the wind - I'll post an image of the flight path.... When the RTH should...

Thanks, I started a thread there at same time as this one: Mavic Pro disconnected & lost

So you're suggesting the Mavic Pro disconnected all video & control, ignored RTH (despite having confirmed RTH location, 70% battery and 17 satellites) and then drifted a long way to those trees? I was at 50m height when I lost control, RTH height was set to 30m... So it would have to drift a...

Here is link to youtube of video I was shooting when disconnect happened... When the video ends that was the point when all signal & control was lost

Thanks - it seems incredibly short sighted of them - I appreciate support staff follow a script and have no authority. I asked for this issue to be escalated and re-assessed but received a fairly sanctimonious reply. Next? I simply can't spend more money on a product if (a) it could happen...

I fly my Mavic Pro regularly, usually over my house capturing the sunset view I keep the firmware updated and it has been behaving normally. But on Dec 30h the Mavic Pro suddenly disconnected & is now lost. I was flying at a distance of 750m and was 50m high, above water - filming some...
