This morning I decided to get a nice shot of the sunrise from my driveway, since I am unable to leave with this crisis going on.
I placed my MPP on the ground, turned on my RC, opened the DJI Go 4 app, started the drone and waited for it to give me the all green to lift off.
Once it did, I lifted off and started going straight up, no lateral movement. 45m up the drone started ''drifting'' off in an easterly direction. I then receive multiple errors at a distance of 45m laterally from where I took off. "IMU heading error", "Compass Error. Exit P-GPS Mode" along with "Weak GPS Signal" despite the drone locating 12, then a few seconds later, 14 satellites. The signal bars were 'greyed' out.
I had no idea what was going on, so I manually took control and flew it back (through a car park no less!) whilst descending at the same time.
Reviewing the recorded flight on the map, I can see the drone seemingly teleporting the 45m away instantly.
Please note, I cannot provide any location information given that I took off from my home and not from a public place! If I were not at home, I would have no issues ... But I would rather not openly reveal where I live!
