Mavic Crashed today. (no this is not my first drone either) So here is what happened from a visual stand point. it was flying fine and I was brining the drone back in to land (battery was at 40% ) low elevation, no higher than 16 feet at any point and all of a sudden the drone just takes off to the left and controls would not bring it back, I looked down at the remote and it had gone into Atti mode but I had no control of it - counter movements did nothing, very odd seeing that I should've had full manual control. anyways it ended up getting caught in some brush and landed upside down. I really dont know what happened, I never had this situation with my Phantom. I have synced my flight log to the cloud, I am assuming this is how DJI can review it? ( I am not sure if others had read my thread about my Mavic having a screw that fell out of it when I first got it, the screw looked like it was never installed and I had contacted DJI support and they said I could return it, but with no date for exchange, Definitately not the normal 2 weeks I was told. so I decided to fly it instead as many said the drone should be fine, and up until this point it did run fine. I just decided to include that in there because since the crash, It was about a 5 ft fall, I can now hear another loose screw in there, I really dont know if this has anything to do with it? Return to home was not used.
The drone was calibrated the day before for GPS and there were no errors when taking off, and I waited for GPS to lock when hovering before moivng the drone. It does say weak GPS signal a few times during flight for a second. If you look at the map below you will see I was relatively close to some powerlines as well, which may explain GPS interference. but my big question is why would it fly on its own in once switched to ATTI mode?
