    Fly away yikes!

    Thanks everyone, I never asked the drone to accelerate to max altitude I had piloted the drone to about 200 ft to clear the water tower and was in the process of setting the tower as a point of interest when it unexpectedly went skyward till it was gone from visual. I then hit the RTH button...

    Thanks, the update I did after the scare and I reset the rth height.

    Fly away yikes!

    I didn’t panic but my drone just flew straight up out of my control, I attempted to lower the altitude but the controls did not respond. I hit RTH and my screen did not indicate that it received the command. It obviously did because within 3-5 min it was hovering behind me at tree top level.

    I checked and it was set to 265m, that is odd because previously I set it to 142m so I’m baffled by that, I re set it today back to 142m

    Fly away yikes!

    I checked the log and it climbed from my desired height of 52m to 265m before I was able to get it to return home. Only message on the log was “gimbal overload”. Entire flight lasted only 8 min but it felt like an eternity when you lose visual of your drone. It only ventured 106m horizontally...

    Fly away yikes!

    Well I went out to do a film of our local water tower and as I sent my Mac air 2 up to 200 ft it took off straight up until it disappeared. I tried all the controls to reduce height but no response from the drone. I hit the home button on the remote but still nothing. As I was about to give up I...

    Error code oxffe

    Well I inboxed my MA2 yesterday, charged everything up, installed the firmware updates and tried to activate the drone for my first flight and got the error code Oxffe. I called DJI and they tell me my drone is DOA, dead on arrival and to return it to my retailer in Calgary, I live in Ontario on...
