hi all, i got my mavic on boxing day, busy with xmas and new years and crappy weather lately so i havent had her out, had plenty of time to read and be prepared, so today was nice weather so i took her out, calibrated the compass and ime and everything fully charged, went to a large field with not many obstacles, i took off and had it in beginner mode and got used to the controls, took a few pics and had some fun, i flew until the battery warning came on, i was very close to where i was standing so i kept flying, it automatically went into return to home mode, this is where it got scary, it began to fly eratically and i had no control over it, i pushed the pause button and nope kept flying eratticaly, was flying all over the place up down and left and right, i finally got it to land safely, after all my reading befrore the flight i cant say i set the return to home before flying, would not setting that cause the eraatic controls? after it landed i changed the batery and took another flight, i set the home this time for sure, i was to scared to fly till the return to home came on so i flew till 20% then landed manually, i flew all 3 bateries and all was good got some nice photos but that erratic behavior scared me, any thoughts on what i may have done wrong
