Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice because I experienced a very scary issue today with my new DJI Mini 5 Pro. I bought it just this week and today was my first real flight with it.
I was flying in a park with a small lagoon and, out of nowhere, the drone suddenly lost all satellites. It immediately switched into Attitude (ATTI) mode, turned red in the status bar, and began drifting very quickly and uncontrollably. I had to fight the sticks just to keep it in the air and prevent it from flying away.
After about a minute, it finally regained satellites and stabilized, and I landed it right away.
This has never happened to me with my previous drones , Mini 3 Pro (Except for when it suddenly fell out of the sky), Spark, and Flip, even in areas with more people and more interference. In this case there were very few people around, and the location didn’t seem to have any obvious interference sources.
This sudden loss of GNSS on a brand-new drone is really concerning, so I’m hoping someone can help analyze what might have caused it. I’ve already extracted the flight logs and will upload them here.
Any advice, insights, or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
