Had a bad day yesterday. Lost my Mavic doing some work over water. Log is here.
One last quick shot with a battery on the low side. When the battery low warning came in I finished as quick as I could then tried to shoot back. The bird started a slow decent then dropped into the water (vanished in 40 feet of water before I could get out there). It was filming to the crash scene. What is odd is that it registered an object above it just before it went in.
Obviously some rookie mistakes here over water (low over water and low battery). The throttle back and reverse motions indicated happened when it was in the water. Indicated altitude... is this measured by pressure altitude, or from the home point GPS reference? The take off point was a good 6 feet above the water. The playback on my IPAD actually shows altitude increasing. The data log below does not though (which is kinda odd). What is VPS Altitude vice IMU?
Any thoughts here appreciated. Absolutely loved this bird and its capabilities before I lost it. Will be a while before I can save up enough $$$ to venture out again. In such case, can just the bird be purchased, or do you need to by a whole package again?
