Mavic Mini lost

[tomaccer]

Dear all,

I've just joined the ranks of so many other newbie pilots who lost their amazing Mavic Minis. I searched all the area around the last known position, but wasn't lucky enough to find it. From what I understood from other post, it could also be that the drone ended up somewhere else completely. Do you have any idea where it could be and help me to narrow my search? I feel ashamed that my first post in this forum is in this section (I bet I'm not the first though). I will still appreciate any help and be forever grateful.

Best,

Thomas

The problem was the wind speed - it was right around the limit for the Mini in normal or RTH mode, and at the end of the flight record it was being blown backwards at around 1 m/s. It was around 600 seconds from autolanding due to low battery, and so at that speed it could have drifted 600 m. It could be anywhere along the red line below, but even that estimate has significant uncertainties.
