This happened the very first time I flew my new Mavic Pro. Wasn't in the air for more than 2 minutes before it drifted uncontrollably for about 100 feet into a cement wall. A HUGE disappointment right off the bat.
And yes, I had done all of the calibrations and a firmware update. I was in a park. It was flying fine for a little while, I was in beginner mode, barely touching the controls, still getting a feel for it, I let go of the sticks and it just started going sideways. Tried holding the left stick down to make it land but it was barely responding and started flying sideways faster and faster. Ruined all 4 blades and put a scratch on the nose and one of the arms.
Mine did this today. It had calibrated it many times and even flown it numerous times. But last night, I took it outside and was slowly just moving the controls and learning it more and it started drifting and then uncontrollably right into a tree. I trashed all 4 propellers and scratched the drone. No matter what I did to stop it, it didn't work. It acted like somebody literally had another controller on it. Freaked me out!
Thankfully, I replaced the propellers, re-calibrated everything and took it out again. Everything seemed fine, but still. Makes me nervous because it does drift and it's noticeable. |
