I've twice flown at night. First time just went straight up 150ft and stayed very close and in pretty much a hover just in case of disaster. Quite a bit to look at so I was quite happy with the video and I guess it was up there maybe 20 minutes without any problems. Just a poor light warning pre take off but input my garden light on and that solved it.
Thought I'd do the same just now. Nice conditions, got the poor light warning but proceeded to take off . No wind at all tonight so as she climbed to 60-70 ft suddenly started going round in maybe a 3 metre circle totally on its own. Message came up " lighting condition too dark visual positioning inaccurate proceed with caution". Well I proceeded with caution and landed it and put it back in its case. Scared the life out of me. The app requested I recalibrate so I did that just before putting the drone away.
I trust this isn't odd and maybe night flights with the mm should be kept to a minimum.
