Was flying my drone on a mountain. Had put it up in the air to check the wind and it was holding fine. Didnt see any issues with wind or performance. At some point I bumped on cinematic mode. I meant to turn it off but forgot. The drone was around 1km away and started having connection issues. I was trying to drop the altitude and fly it back as the wind started picking up but the signal disconnected and it entered automatic return to home. I was mucking around trying to switch to sports mode because I had a fly away problem a few weeks back but managed to find the drone and everyone told me to use sports mode. Well, it was too late I guess - couldnt change it before I lost the signal so it was stuck in cinematic. Drone had about 12 mins of battery to travel around 1km.
If anyone can give me any pointers to where it might have landed I will go check it out first light tomorrow. It may have been a bit out of sorts since the last fly away. I was due to take it back to DJI to get it serviced but this is the end of our trip.
I had been watching a lot of videos about controlling the drone and doing a lot of trial runs to avoid this so feel extremely incompetent at this point in time. I sort of hope it isnt wind again but am guessing that is what happened.
