Never had any problems with my Mavic Pro 1.
Recently I placed the Mavic on a 4 foot diameter metal garden table to take off from. I figured its profile and shape would bode well with terrain recognition on the landing.
Did all the checks. As I took off to 5 feet, it flew starboard at an angle, uncontrollably, and I instinctively tried to counter this, then as it wouldn't react, pulled the joystick down to force land. However it had already hit a garden umbrella and fell to the concrete.
I repeated the flight from grass and all went well other than it reporting 'unexpected gimble vibration' and the picture was wavy and distorted. I thought it might have buckled a prop (they looked fine). I checked this forum and it appears the gimble needed to re-clip behind a black plastic lug on the inside of the body cavity as it had unseated in the fall.
It worked thereafter (had to replace a prop with slight split)
I guess the metal interfered with the signals / checks? We live and learn.
