I have about two weeks worth of flying on my new Mavic 2 Pro. Because I'm new, I'm using most flights to learn and practice flying skills, and to explore the many photo-video features and to try to become more proficient at it all. In other words, I'm not trying to do anything very fancy.
This morning I took a flight pretty much straight up over my head, and our house, just to take a look at the landscape as the rising sun broke through the trees and a thin bit of fog to the east dissipated. Although I was intending to be only about 75 ft up, I suddenly was way higher (like 170) according to my SC. As I brought the drone down, I realized it wasn't as high as the altitude reading. I don't know how much it was off when I first noticed the 170 or so reading, but when I landed, as I was within 2 or 3 feet of the ground, I had a reading of about 80 ft. After landing, I decided to go back up for a short flight just to see if the problem was still there. I took the drone up to about 70 feet, spin around in a circle while recording some video, and came back down and landed. The data that downloaded to airdata shows an actual max height of about 81ft, and a landing altitude of close to a negative 10 feet.
Any ideas on what is happening? I've found a few posts about faulty barometric readings in the drone, and I'm concerned that perhaps my new drone is already experiencing a serious problem.
