I don't know if it is connected to the recent firmware update, but a weird apparent video lag caused me to crash into a tree. I was examining my roof and was going to my right above the roof just out of sight watching exactly where it was above the roof. I was moving slowly right in which case it should have appeared right above me in a few seconds, and I was going to land.
But the video seems to have got stuck and I kept moving to the right - as I was still seeing roof - straight into a tree some 20 feet to my right.
I still have no idea how that actually happened.
Does anyone understand this?

PS. Drone not bad, but gimbal totally ripped off and now lost :-(
 
The video doesnt see to the right. It only see's forward or down. There is no obstacle sensors on the sides of A Mavic. need to look up at it occasionally to make sure it is where you think it is. Sorry for your loss, but it is only a dumb mistake if you do it twice! :D
