I have a hard time understanding all these crashes... If you find yourself in trouble just let go of the controls and it will go into hover mode...MP practically flies itself... just saying... be safe, fly smart!
.....
I dont believe it says this in the manual, but when you calibrate it, always start the calibration with it facing North.

Do you know how to calibrate the compasses?I crashed my mavic on it's first flight. I had some experience flying drones drom before, but of course - with my luck - a stupid "compass error" showed up, and i could barely control it. It crashed into the ground (luckily only a propeller broke), and for a long time, my confidence has been 0. I had just started gaining some when the error showed up again. It almost crashed into water, but i managed to land it on a small bridge where i took off from. I then sent it to the store i bought it from and complained, it is now under repair. The thing is; i am afraid i will have no confidense what so ever when i get it back... any tips?
Yeah, i calibrated everything before it's first flight.Do you know how to calibrate the compasses?

Did, you calibrate your compass? It's reccommended to do it away from metal object as well as concrete with a lot of rebar in it, best place is in a lawn. I dont believe it says this in the manual, but when you calibrate it, always start the calibration with it facing North. As far as flying, its alawys gonna be fun and stressful combined. My Biggest fear when i fly Is this big *** Hawks we have around here, i havent had any issues, but they always come out to observe, I just think, yeaaa its just a matter of time before one goes for it hahahaha.
Ye
Yep. I calibrated it before it's first flight but not before the one by the river. But i believe you shouldn't calibrate it every time you're flying.
no its not recommended to calibrate every time, but the manual does say if you travel 30 miles away or so, its a good idea. I normally fly in one area so i never really calibrate
My wife and I both ride motorcycles, and we do long distance trips every year, 10 days or longer. Before each of these trips my mind goes though all sorts of possible issues. I get the same anxiety as a newbie drone pilot. But as with riding my motorcycle, I trust my skills and my machine, I feel the same way with the drone. It's those exterior forces that we have no control over that will cause accidents.
I love the rush of 'taking off' either on my bike or with the drone.
Its fun to see where my next trip takes me. And looking forward to tying the two things together with the track function too!
