Just updated both of our Mavic Air 2 drones and there is an odd total loss of control before return to home actually kicks in. About 8-10 seconds of free flight.
Just after I lost signal, I hit the RTH button on my controller. Instead of the typical beep beep...beep beep, it went beep... beep... beep... beep. During all this time, my signal had not been regained. After 10-15 seconds, I regained my signal and saw the drone going up like a normal RTH.
The strange thing is that it didn't automatically RTH like it should have. It waited until it had connection with the controller and then it did RTH. In my advanced safety settings, I have RTH checked for signal lost behavior.
Here is the video of what happened and the free-flight. I lost connection 3 seconds into the video. So all of that flying is the drone on its own. Not me controlling it. So if it were lower and facing a house it would have crashed into it.
A real concern here. The same thing happened with our 2nd Air 2 drone today...
Here is the video footage. Remember after 3 seconds in I am no longer in control. Maci Air 2 Return to Home issue.mp4
