Awesome news Kristen. I see you are from the roodepoort area, good call for not going out in the night trying to search for it. Unfortunately us South Africans cant go walking into bushy areas at night scrap that any areas without the risk of getting mugged or worse.

I was so desperate. I did go out last night. But quickly saw its too dark and with the good rain lately very bushy. Was so lucky this morning to find those guys to help me.

None whatsoever. It was quite wet from dew..? But I won't switch it on for a couple of days.

Glad to hear it worked out in your favor. It must have been difficult to sleep last night!

Awesome! Think hard about attaching a tracker so that every time you fly you are not thinking to yourself "What if this flight I loose it again".

Investigate the Marco Polo for areas that do not have cellular service or the Trackimo for areas that do have cellular service.

Glad you found it dude!

Now it would be interesting for most of us if you downloaded the full log from the craft and post it here to see what happened while you were not logging on your phone

Will do. Just a pity I was not recording!

This is a good bet, I know switching into or out of Sport mode will cancel most other modes it is in, never tried to cancel a RTH event that way, worth a test to see

It does. I found that out by accident.

Looking forward to seeing the full log. You'll most likely need to drop box that to us. They're huge

Flicking the mode switch into sport will indeed cancel all flight modes including RTH and give you immediate control of the aircraft . You can leave the switch in sport mode and press RTH button again and it will fly back much faster and without the obstacle sensors . If it ever starts getting the false obstacle detection from the sun or is fighting a strong headwind you can do this and it will come right back home very quickly. Just make sure your RTH altitude is set high enough to miss any tall objects . I set my RTH altitude at 350' just to be sure and I have my battery warning set to chime in at 50% just to be sure I don't outfly my battery distance . .

Great news guys!
Rounded up a couple of guys, offered a generous reward and an hour in found my Mavic! Woohoo! Thank you so much for all your help- from to bottom of my heart! See the search heros in the picture!

Great news, so glad to hear you found it. You were smart waiting until the morning, it makes no sense to put your life on the line for a drone. Get a Marco Polo Tracker and if this happens again it will take you 10 minutes to find it even if is at night.

See there, I'm not the only one with an eye for finding lost mp's. Glad you got it!

Help me quick please? How do you pull the log from the drone? If I plug it into my laptop it does not register as a storage device?

Wait until your sure its dried out before connecting a battery.

 

[kirsten.rossouw]

Will do thanks.
I am thinking of running the old DJI app because of instability of the Go 4 app- heck I nearly lost my mavic. What's your thoughts?
