Hello everyone. For a year, I flew my Mavic 2 Pro frequently without any problems, but a couple of weeks ago crashed it. I might have caused the problem myself, but I'm not sure. Here's what happened.
It was a totally quiet morning, with no wind at all. The drone took off and I flew in a straight line with it for about a minute. At this point, while in flight, I turned the camera to the left by touching the screen of the Smart Controller and swiping my finger. Then I used the 5D button to recenter the gimbal. Actually, with this command the camera used to look vertically downwards first, and then, to the second click of the 5D it used to move to look horizontally. So I clicked the 5D button twice, as always, but this time something went wrong (around 01m 13.1s).
I saw on the display that the horizon was starting to tilt to the left and the drone was slowly drifting to the left. As the log shows, at 01m 19.9s the drone suddenly turned to the left, although I saw on the screen that the camera was pointed constantly forward. I tried to move the drone forward at 01m 21.9s, my screen showed that the camera was pointing in the direction of the flight, but the horizon was already tilted at an angle of about 45 degrees by this time. I still tried to control the drone for a few seconds, but it didn't respond, the video transmission also disappeared around 01m 30s. I waited a few more minutes to see if the drone would return home by some miracle, but then I sadly determined that it had probably fallen into the river. Luckily, I did not forget to check the flight path on the Smart Controller. I went to the location where the flight ended on the map: after a little searching in the area, I found the drone in a small park, among trees. There was no one there because it was early in the morning, but of course the drone was broken.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what could have happened.
