Hi guys, I know this is not the first thread on altitude issues with Mavic 2, but as far as I know, this one is a bit different. I have owned the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced for a little over 7 months. The first time I noticed the problem was approximately a month ago. The bird takes off without any issues. I fly it to 15-20 meter (45-60 ft) height and then it starts losing altitude. Slowly, but surely. It is fully controllable, so I am able to either land it, fly it higher or do anything else. Today I flew it to 15 meters (45 ft) and waited to see what happens. The drone actually slowly came down to 1 meter (3 ft). I then took control and landed.
A few points:
- The problem first occured in December and still persists. This makes me think it may have something to do with the battery warming up
- The issue happens at the begnning of the flight, afterwards the drone behaves normally. After swapping the battery, the problem is back
- When the drone loses altitude, the altitude reading is not working properly. Say I take it 20 meters up and then it loses 10 meters. I would bring it 10 meters higher (back to 20) and the altitude displayed is 30 meters (give or take)
- So far I did not have the guts to try this in the mapping mode
Is this a normal feature and is this simply because I am impatient and take off immedtaley after starting up/swapping the battery? Would waiting after the start-up help?
