So disappointed in this drone, this drone has been nothing but firmware issues and fake warnings. This morning it was calm and I took off straight up to just some take some great fog photos. Stayed below the fog ceiling, etc...
It hovered for about 3 to 4 minutes and then just took off to the east on a mind of its own. Not responding to anything, just drifting away. Finally after 3 or 4 attempts of return to home it decided to slowly return home, only to increase to 43 mph for the last short leg into a fir tree and destroy itself. Obstacle avoidance? Got me?
So disheartening when your dad of six, save your cash for a year and you end up with this. Tried to be positive thru the all firmware issues that occurred while it was in warranty. Then the sort of stable firmware came out after I was out of warranty, so it sat grounded a lot prior. Something is definitely amiss, as to why it just floated away. Down stick nothing, RTH for a few tries, nothing. Finally sure, ill come home and cram into a tree.
Not sure what happen, it was nice early AM flight and then it just took off on its on. Never seen it fly so fast, the log says 43.1 mph. No disconnects on the controller etc... It will be greatly missed, it will be a few years before I can save up enough for another one.
Thank you all, DJISusan etc for help up here with this thing over the last year or so. Hope to be back some day. I can't believe this much $$$ was such a disappointment, and ended as it did. Been different I was the running it in the tree. So much for P mode ;-( and obstacle avoidance.
