OMG! Too Close & Noob Moment

[DJI Ferrari]

OMG my hands are literally shaking right now. So i saw on a great many you tube videos that people strapped can cokes and all kinds of stuff of that weight to the bottom of their mav pro. I tried a spot light thats lighter than a can coke, more like the weight of one of a bar of soap, lol. Anyway, I wasn't thinking of the bottom cameras and when I turned it on inside, the drone kept going up and up and when it got about 6 inches from the ceiling, my heart went into overdrive and I remembered the day my spark tried to fly away on normal mode when I grabbed it and turned it on its side.

When I grabbed my mavic 6 inches from the ceiling, the blades went hyper sonic lol and it tried to gain altitude like a rocker. OMG THANK GOD for djis turn it on it side to kill it function.

I am so freaked out right now and my hands are still shaking after ten minutes after I stopped in took out the battery and nearly fell to the floor.

OMG I should have been smarter, I WILL NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN!
OMG! I am a much better pilot then this, I think i will punish myself and be like no flying for least a month lol. OMG So glad I stopped ot omg omg!

Super easy to crash indoors! If you are going to use a strap on then its best to do so in a very wide open space.

Lol yea well my hands aren't shaking any more and I think because the bottom camera were covered the drone maybe thought it was still on the ground and it why it kept climbing. I don't care if I'm outside or inside, this scared me to the point i will never do this again anywhere, lol. I am a safety nut when it comes to drones, its just i also had a lot of flying hours indoors with the spark but i was also in a much bigger house and not im in a converted fema trailer. Yea i think i got stupid and this or anything related to anything this stupid i will never ever ever do again because id rather lose my TV than my mavic pro lol. because even my TV didn't have this price tag lol.

LOL. You posted that with a straight face?

No i posted than while my heard was racing and my hands were shaking while feeling very ashamed of myself, mad at myself and feeling very stupid. I guess you could say I posted it while still in shock at my stupid decision to even attempt it, I can tell you this, lesson learned, nothing even in relation to this will ever happen again, I just couldn't believe i was so stupid and also posted because i was also wondering if any one else had noob moments this severe.

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully, it's a learning experience for everyone who reads this.
When I first got mine, I couldn't get it to do anything at all. I was in my living room and it's about 1,000' from the airport runway. LOL. NO FLY ZONE inside my own house.
I spent a couple of weeks reading, reading, reading on websites and about the things that go wrong.
During my first few years of flying (airplanes), I subscribed to the NTSB Reporter; a publication on aviation accidents. Learning from others is the best way to go. (Maybe not the best way for the others though )

lol because i don't have a phone thanks to my roommate, I am afraid to fly because I turned it on its side, so I am waiting to get a tablet next month so I can check for any errors, latest firmware even though i know its up to date.
