I bought a Mavic pro 3 days ago... but only flew it for a minute yesturday. I was looking forward all day to finally getting to use my new "toy"... I started flying and everything seemed to be fine but after a couple mins, I started getting many errors including GSP and compass errors, thats when the Mavic seemed to loose control and took off. I searched where the flight record from my iphone said was its last location and nothing... i also tried to use find my drone... both show different locations for where to look. Im uploading the record.... PLEASE PLEASE give me some of your drone wisdom! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

Sorry, for your loss. Might be an idea to re-post this in the Mavic Pro thread though, this is for Mavic Airs

I'm a newbie too so I can in my opinion only offer very limited assistance but my first flight was checked to ensure I did it in beginner mode. On my second flight, I was a little surprised to find it doesn't remain in beginner mode, needed to be set so again. Your second flight, did you fly at the same place or a different location?
