MAvic using Autopilot

[watkins.chris]

I have a Mavic and i'm using DJI Go 4 day to day. i also have Autopilot (I don't have both apps open at the same time) I have made a waypoint just as a test and also a Pano to make sure everything is working ok. I take off the Drone manually to around 25-30M and about 5-10M from the start point Engage the Autopilot mission the drone goes to 1st point and switches on Video or Photo then doesn't do anything. Please Help im lost with where to go next

Many Thanks

Im sure you might of herd by now there is a problem with DJI update of last... Autopilot advises not to use for Mavic until rectified, BTW Mine did the same thing!
(There is currently an issue with the latest DJI firmware for the Mavic Pro and Inspire 2 which causes erratic flight behavior in Autopilot. We do not recommend* using Autopilot with these aircraft types until a resolution has been found for this issue.
* It is still possible to safely use Human Flight Control Modes and Waypoint Mode as long as Lost Connection is set to Continue Mission (LCMC).

I just flied the Mavic with my AP 3.9 Waypoint flight plan. Everything executed well. Just FYI.

I have to say, there have been (what I would consider) critical discrepancies with expected flight behavior in the Mavic Pro when using Autopilot. The "known issues" can only be sought out when going into a "Help" screen in the app, and buried within the app.

This is reckless behavior by AutoFlight and their app. When a discrepancy can result in the loss of your aircraft, damage or serious injury, the notification should be in the form of a pop-up within the app when it is first launched. The Cruise mode drift issues, and now the "erratic" flight characteristics of the aircraft when the DJI firmware has been updated, warrants prominent notification (I.E. an AD in manned aircraft speak).

I will cease the use of this app indefinitely.
