Hello Everyone,
I was flying my drone today (Mavic 2 Pro) around the coast to film the sunrise and after 5min of flight the drone just started to be uncontrollable for no apparent reason.
When I lost control, the battery was at 80% and the drone had been hovering since 20sec because I was changing the video settings. After another 20sec of uncontrollable movement it fell into the sea close to rocks in a place with a lot of current so I couldn't dive to get it back.
I would like to understand what happened, I have about 15 hours of flight with this drone and I've never seen such a weird behaviour.
Here is the log of the flight: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
Before the take off I had a compas error due to magnetic interference so I did the calibration process. I was next to a big cross (about 5m high) probably made of metal so the calibration failed at the first attempt. I tried to do it again a few meters away of the cross and it worked, no more warning messages so I thought I was good for take off.
Another guy was flying his Mavic Pro 1st Gen at the same time. Could it be some disturbance caused by the signal of the other remote control? I didn't have any warning and the drone's behaviour during the first 5min of flight was ok.
It was very early in the morning and I didn't see any birds around, I watched the video cash of the flight and I can't see any birds so I don't think that something hit the drone but it might be the reason of the crash ?
I'd really like to understand what happen and if I've done something wrong, It's a shame to lose a drone without understanding why...
I would be very grateful for any help !
