Good day/evening.
I was going to film the vessel/ship I'm sailing on, and ended up having a flyaway.
It was early morning here after shift so I wasn't in my best mental state and egar to fly.
I went on the back deck and started up controller/drone. It asked me to calibrate the compass which worked. For some reason I picked up the drone, and it asked me to calibrate again. Which took 5 tries before it said calibration successful.
I went up in the air with the drone. Then flew it around the back deck with it responding to input. As soon as I flew it off to the side of the ship it took off..
I was putting various control into the sticks to see if I could regain control, at one point I managed to look straight at the ship So started attempting to fly straight to it which seemed to work. Then it started losing attitude, so I gave it up input.. which then I lost control again, and it went sideways into the water.
I did purchase dji refresh and will send in a ticket to see what the can do/think.
This area does have alot of magnetic interference, so I wasn't going to go to far. Concidering the calibration was successful and it flew on the back deck following input I thought it was fairly safe.
Best regards, any input is appreciated.
