So, I decided to take the Mini 2 out for a quick spin in my yard after the snowstorm. I had left the prop guards on it from when I was playing in the house...figured, no biggie. I sent it up and when it got to about 90ft it suddenly said max height reached and something about payload mode. There was a bit of a wind warning anyway so I bought it down a bit. I've never heard of the Mini balking at having the guards on outdoors. But then again, I just got the guards and never actually use them on any of my drones outdoors. On another note, I was trying to fly low (about 6') between my house and neighbors when it started to drift and I couldn't correct it without overcorrecting for some reason...not sure why it was drifting other then maybe it lost GPS signals...but more likely it was because the sensors couldn't properly detect the ground due to the snow.
. Anyway, ended up crashing into the house...good thing for prop guards.
. Had it pancaked right up against the house before it finally shut down. Had to dive through the snow to get it but the snow didn't seem to hurt it...thankfully. Did get a good pano shot though...pretty impressed with the way it handled the snow and contrast.
