I had a very near death experience with my Mavic last night. I took off using only wifi on my Oppo R7G (android) the drone hovered at 1m, until i instructed it to ascend, it began ascending while spinning out of my control, i took my fingers off the screen as it kept going. I tried to return to home and it flew off away from me. It then came back home and said it was landing when it was actually flying off in the opposite direction. I cancelled the operation and manually guided it in for a safe landing. It was very bizarre and scary, i am just glad it didn't hit any trees. How do you attach flight data to this post?

Sounds similar to a lot of user experiences. We're still waiting on an update from the DJI flight team as to what's causing the Mavic to spin and ascend/descend at the same time while not having any control. This is the first time of heard about this happening while in WIFI mode.

Please upload the recording of your flight from the DJI go app with the "RC" inputs.

Look I don't no how much experience you have, but maybe you should put up your log here, the info you give is a bit thin so maybe let people see what's happening, you can upload to healthydrones.com.
Also if you play your flight back in go app you can see your flight and also stick movements.

I thought you had fallen off a cliff judging by your headline glad your ok. Lol

I don't know, but isn't 260 ft almost 80m and maximun operational distance for VLOS flight on Wifi mode?
Was your flight in VLOS all the time?? was there any barrier between you and the drone (Eg. Trees, walls )
Good thing nothing bad happened!

wow this is terrible mate.  On the good news you didnt lost it.
My advice please dont fly it again until your issues is addressed, heard the other case from a boat, it was terrible to bring it back with RTH and even manual control.

Could you please sync the flight records from DJI GO app and find the flight data file via DJI Assistant?
Then send an email to support@dji.com with your DJI account email and the date this occurred.
They will help to analyze the data and let you know what could have caused the issue.

From what I was reading in the manual, pressing the RTH button is the wrong thing to do.  First thing it does in RTH mode/sequence is fly up to the designated RTH altitude - if you are below it.  That may have been why it appeared to fly away?  If I recall correctly, I think you are supposed to hit the pause button instead.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

From your record it seems that you had poor GPS signal and got in ATTI mode now and then, the Mavic can't do RTH when there's no GPS, that's why the Mavic was drifting I think.
But there's also something wrong with the connection, a lot of reconnection happened. Android APP might have something to do with it.
Are you flying well with RC?
