Mavic Mini Dive Bombed my Pool!

Collyde · Jul 12, 2020

Got rid of the error by replacing the rear props. But I still do not trust this. In my short test flight I had one instance where it started to initiate landing again. I pushed it forward and it responded. I was able to bring it down where I wanted (not the pool.)
Got the only DJI Assistant app. It did not connect on macOs but was able to connect on Windows with some hoop jumping. Pretty flaky.
I refreshed the FW to the same version and got the flight logs only to find out they are locked!
Not happy about all this.

The flight logs are not locked.

Are you referring to the DAT files from the aircraft? If so then those are encrypted - you need the DAT files from the mobile device.

Went for a 5 min flight yesterday - still full of trepidation. But the Mini seemed to perform normally. Looks like I do not have to turn it in for service.
However, the battery that took the bath is toast. Unable to recharge with the DJI and other high output power supplies.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
