After 7 years of flying, I have broken my first blade.
Immediately after take off, the drone (Mavic Pro) switched itself into 'atti mode' and within seconds had hurled itself backwards into a wall. Once on the floor, I saw that it was once more in GPS mode. No flight possible though, as blade broken with no spare.... and in a stunning location in perfect weather (zero wind).
I will change the blade when home, hopefully there is no other damage. None visible at least.
So...
1. What causes 'compass errors', and
2. is this what caused it to go into atti mode?
3. Why did atti mode make the drone fly backwards (at speed) at a pitched angle out of control, considering there was no wind?
Flight record attached and link
Could have been worse I guess and ended in water if it had gone in the other direction.
Thanks guys
