So I had a job yesterday to photograph a 160 foot boat....no problem....then they wanted RUNNING shots...and a short video clip. All was wonderful, the boat only runs top speed of about 10 Knots so making the video was awesome!
I did all the images and the video and started the landing process.....this boat has a HUGE landing area......I'll post a photo.............
I was literally 4 feet from landing and BOOM, the Mavic Pro 2 kicks into "RETURN HOME" mode.....but HOME is now probably 5 or 6 miles away........because we moved to do the running shots.
So I cancel it, get control....try to land again.....back to RETURN HOME MODE.........this happened at least 4 times....now I'm getting a bit low on battery....I'm at 18%
Next, I tell them to fully shut down the boat and I get close, I was able to snatch the drone out of mid air and get it down.....so I saved it.
But, I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN!!!! What should I do or should have done before I took off to prevent this????
Your thoughts????
