Hello
New Mavic Mini user here. I'm actually on my second unit. The first one I lost trying to video a waterfall in a tight canyon - it went up, hit a branch and fell in the creek,never to be seen again. We searched for a couple of hours, but never found it. Since it went into the water and never had a good GPS lock, it was lost. Anyway, I bought another one and have experimented a lot more before doing anything like that again. I was on a hike last week in a much more open waterfall canyon and decided to try again - I wasn't going to fly right over the water. Anyway, all was good, I got it taken off and hovering however it wouldn't go higher than about 15' since it couldn't get a GPS lock. I've searched and searched and I've not been able to find any resolution to this. I can't believe that if it can't get a GPS lock (like in a waterfall canyon) that it can't go higher than 15'.
Does anyone have any advice on this? How can I get my drone to go higher than 15' when it can't get a GPS lock? I don't think I will probably ever fly this out of sight - I will most likely just use it for taking aerial videos.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
