My first problem with my Mavic Air from about 7h total flight time.
I was on top of Lake Maggiore and after the usual check for signs strength, home position, MAX height and others on my checklist (mental so far) I went for a short flight. I can preannounced that I am always pretty afraid when I am a top of a water because you can just imagine if something goes wrong. Also I think I don't have still enough experience with the drone due to my very limited time on using it.
I also can say there was a light wind but maybe on the lake it was a little bit higher. I could see some sail ship going around a relative high speed (I really believe that was my main problem). The wind speed registered for that day by AirData was 2.5 m/s.
As soon as it was about 100m away from me and I start to get error (Gimbal error, motor overspeed I think ...) I pushed pause and then start to pitch down and move forward to me (no sport mode). The drone was responsive but the image was very shaking (I think it was just the gimbal). After some effort because of the amount of information ℹ I was receiving, I got close to the shore and landed. I want also to mention I mounted some extension feet because I was taking off from a sand beach (actually little stones).
After post processing the video I can see a lot of oscillation on the gimbal. The drone itself looks stable as far as I can see.
DJGO 4 app:
Fortunately it didn't crash.
I will do few checks today in a calm condition and at a safe field for paraglider close by.
Just a note: what is the purpose on the .SRT file on the SD card (F:\DCIM\100MEDIA)? Can it be used in some way?

DJGO 4 app:
- Backward obstacle sensing not working
- the the gimbal looks moving a lot (the right slider)
