Runaway Drone, Inverted Controls, WTF?

Yeah, probably just mark the DJI Assistant 2 application and device drivers a POS; getting that DAT file isn't likely.

Either way, the whole experience today was insanely odd. There really wasn't any explanation from DJI support other than their "troubleshooting" procedures to check the firmware version of the battery, then refresh firmware, then re-link the RC to the AC.

I suppose it's a super rare instance that this happens, but it certainly seems like it could be very dangerous under certain conditions.

Getting DAT files from a newer Mavic running recent firmware is a bit of a lottery, depending on where they are stored. It may not be possible to retrieve the file.

Have you ever seen anything like this before?

No - that's a new one.

Does downgrading the firmware, using NLD or other method, wipe out DAT files on the bird? If not, would that be a possible solution to the "lottery", even if after the fact?

I think that the problem is the location where the DATs are stored, so that probably won't help. @BudWalker has more first hand experience of this issue.
