Hi hope someone can help analyze my Mavic’s data.
I got my Mavic pro only one week ago. It is my first drone and I am not experienced in drone flying at all. Cause of bad weather the last days I have only been able to take it up a few times, only a few meters high and always close to me. I had no issues before.
Yesterday I have planet to take an evening picture of my house. First all was fine but when I had it at the right position I went from sports mode to tripod mode to prepare for my photo. At that moment the satellite connection changed to weak (red) and it dropped into ATTI mode. It turned around a couple of times and then starts to drift away. I didn’t felt I cut control it at all like if was in a strong wind. I did not feel I could do anything to stop it. I just stood there and saw my drone disappearing over the top on my neighbors' houses. The last data I got on my remote was from the point where I lost control. After a few minutes the remote lost all contact. I went to the map on my phone to see if I could see where it had crashed but the route ended where it went into ATTI. I started my car and drove in the direction where I had seen the drone disappear. After some time my remote connected again but still no satellite. From the camera I could see some plants but nothing significant. I drove and walk around in the area the next 2 hours. When I had almost given up (battery on the drone was down to 5%) I saw a red light in a field of barnacles. If it had not been dark, I had not seen it. I went in and found my drone. It looked as if it had just landed and nothing was destroyed. All led lights lit steady red on the drone.
I do not trust my Mavic no more. I do not want to fly again until I know what happened and have found a solution.
Hope that with more experience than me will be able to look at my data and tell what happened and possibly what I can do to prevent it from happening again
Do I need to send the Mavic for reparation? And does anyone know if DJI can fix this problem or will they just send it back to me again same as before.
I am very grateful for all the help I can get.
