Hi All,
I just get a new Mavic Air 2 and loving it. My previous drone crashed after getting interference that brought it down with a bang.
To avoid this in the future should I be sweeping the area with either a Giger Counter or some kind of RF detector before I fly anywhere.
I had two crashes with the same drone in vastly different areas. One was near an old IBM site. My old drone was stable and had no issues until it lost connection with the controller. Immediately, the drone hover about 90 feet above the ground despite me trying everything to gain control. Eventually it ran out of battery and hit the ground. I repaired it over a few weeks then went to an entirely different location. A high school field. It flew great again without issue until I got close to a metal shed. It lost control and came crashing down. This time it broke a motor arm and the camera became totally damaged.
So given that I have a new drone, should I be doing something special before flying anywhere new?
Advise greatly appreciated. Thanks.
