Hey all,
This is my first post here - apologize if this is the wrong place.
I bought a Mavic Pro about a month ago and have had some ups-and-downs, but overall, it's been fun. Had a unique issue yesterday that I could use some advice on.
I was doing a cross-country ski and decided to try the "Follow Me" Intelligent mode. I flew the drone into the air about 200 feet above me to be sure it cleared all trees, put the remote and attached phone in my backpack and skied. The drone followed perfectly and shot some cool footage for about five minutes.
And then it just suddenly stopped following. I didn't touch anything. The drone just hovered in place. Upon trying to land it, I found the controls very limited. Up and down and the yaw worked, but forward and backwards (left stick) did not work at all and the left and right worked, albeit much slower than normal. (by this point I had taken it out of "Follow Me" mode).
Was able to land the drone in a clearing in the forest using the limited left and right and down. On my next flight, the drone seemed to fly fine.
Curious if anybody else has had this experience. Conditions were around 40° F and we were skiing thru dense tree cover.
Also was wondering how the heck you land the thing if you totally lose signal? Or are you just out of luck?
Thank you.
