I almost lost my drone, after climbing 1400m

[grinna]

This was the maximum altitude I achieved with my MAvic Pro 1400m, after changing the flight parameters in debufg, but I confess that it was in the limte because I tried to enable the Sport mode to descend faster, and I could not because I was very nervous and I was not finding the option on DJI GO. The result almost can not land, I arrived with the drone on land with 1% of battery, I swear I started to sweat cold, the legs began to tremble. It was a horrible experience.

Detail after 1000m the RC did not mark more, only the DJI GO.

It could have been worse, a lot worse.

Before you do something with potentially disastrous consequences, take a few minutes to contemplate . . . "Is this a good idea?".

That's pretty high....

u can also change the assend and decend in sport and gps mode also in debug. i changed mine in gps mode only, it makes a big difference and i didnt go the whole way, stock is 10 dronebreakz recemended 20 and i went with 15. i like it where it is, now, but be carefeul she drops fast at low altitiudes too,,,,,,,

Should have killed the motors at 2500m and let it fall to 500m to save battery...

//sick reference bro!

1453 meters up and battery 35%.. wow your so so cool man lets take a second to imaging you didnt get signal . it went off course and fell from that height hit somebody and did serious damage .. hmmm !!!! you would of made the news and started the drone police off on another rant ..

sorry man thats just idiotic and actually wish ya had of lost it to be fair

 

[ardeban]

It's funny that you've been able to learn how to hack your pro, but still you don't know sport mode is a switch in the remote, and not an option on DJI go.

 

[Afremont]

To be fair, I think it's actually both. You gave to enable alternate flight modes or something like that in the go app before the switch works.

Did you start with a full battery?

I think he post to brag and incite reaction.

Well this is not the first time you have seen that here is it Ray .
I think not and I can pretty much tell ya it won't be the last .

 

[Mavflyer]

Did you not start with a full battery? I have flown over a mile high, which is higher than you went, and made it back with plenty of battery. I can't remember how much but I want to say like 70% or something like that.

I know. That's why I am refraining for making further comments. I think next time we see this sort of posts, everyone should just give a and move on.

Exactly. It's not like it will stop anyone from doing it. We've all seen the PSAs about drunk driving, racing, speeding, not wearing seatbelts, etc. and even the aftermath from such things. It certainly doesn't stop it. I see no difference here, and there isn't really much "aftermath material" for drone incidents to try to prove a point either.

Right. So we shouldn't encourage it by giving likes or make too many comments on the post (for or against the behaviour). Some people post stuff for clicks and reactions.
