Hey guys,
I'm a new Mavic drone pilot but have a few trips now under my belt.
Today I tried to launch my Air 2S from my friend's balcony (17th story) which I've done several times before.
Every other time, it would rise slowly and I'd change direction and fly it out carefully.
Today, however, as it begun to lift off (keep in mind it was in Cine mode so all the sensors and obstacle detection was enabled and had propeller guards attached) I tried to move it a bit to the left before rotating it to exit the balcony facing front and I don't know how it gathered so much speed, it first hit the wall to the left (opposite to the exit) at which point I released all control over my joystick to move and then it automatically tried to regain it's composure and immediately crashed into the wall in the back and fell to its demise. Thankfully nobody or any cars were around or it could have been bad but the drone was completely shattered.
I don't understand what went wrong? I've done this several times and it went very smoothly even if the drone lost signal on the way, it would RTH and I could manually maneuver it inside my own balcony. I was NOT in Sport mode but Cine mode so all the sensors + obstacle detection was on, I also had propeller guards attached.
Thankfully I have DJI Care so this should be covered as part of accidental/collision damage right?
Can someone please explain what went wrong here? Or was it an outlier incident that could be a potentially new error on the Air 2s?
