Hi there,
my mavic just crashed into a river yesterday and is non recoverable due to high water currents
At first it took off just fine without any problem, then it jerkes violantly in the yaw axis, i tried to compensate by moving the rudder stick in the opposite direction, no effect.
Then it flew away sidways and was loosing altitude. It was completely unresponsive and didn´t stabilize, after i let go off the sticks. I moved the throttle all the way up but it was going down into the river.
It didn´t throw any error massages.
I pulled the logfile and thoroughly analysed it and came to the conclusion, that it have to be covered by warranty as the logfile indicates, the the drone didn´t react to pilot commands.
also there is a hugh variance in the speed indicated in the logs it jumped from 20 to 40 mph in 100 milliseconds which can´t be true
looks like a gps bug to me
I would be glad to have a second opinion.
and also are there any experiances how supportive DJI is in such cases? I did purchase DJI Care.
