Hello community!
So since I first experienced a drop after FW 1.0.4 update, I've been experiencing random climbs and drops, sometimes drastic some times not so much, the thing is this drops and climbs happened in between shots I was doing, I mean I was not just trying to replicate the "error" but I was flying and having fun + focusing in taking some pictures and videos.
This made it hard for me to isolate the issue in otherwise huge Flight logs and videos, in fact my first post here "My mini dropped from the sky" (my first ever dropped) was a flight with some drops but other times normal behaviour, this makes my assumption hard to replicate and some users could say is because of terrain, or cold temperature or whatever... I have been ever since wanting to upload some of this other drops, but again, quite a pain to remember when exactly it happened... but today... was so crazy that I have to report and this makes it easy since I was trully only analizing how the Mini behaved today, no shots or video, in such a good calm day.
Today is a gorgeous day, absolutely no wind whatsoever, is about 16-18 degrees Celsius, super blue sky. I took all precautions, in fact I've been standing behind the drone 15 minutes since GPS lock wouldnt go over 9-10 Sats Locked, moved the drone to a different area and when I was 10-11 sats, decided to take off and do my checklist while hoovering, this should all be really clear in my flight log. I even did a quick, right stick full forward, stop, to see how it behaved, all seems OK.
I've been wanting to take a picture of a curved road around 500-600m from my back garden and today was the perfect light, so did my hoovering checklist and went in a straight line ascending a bit so I could see the Mini over the horizon against the blue sky, decided to go in S mode in case I see birds, also to get there faster and also cause in case it drops, I want full throttle from my stick input... guess what... as soon as I was getting near the spot, left stick, and the MINI went craaaazy UP so quick... like... WOW... then it dropped so fast is not even funny... I used left stick full up and it recovered, left sticks and it went down again... I told myself no picture today and came back to home point manually.
Decided to stop there and create this post, since it is very isolated, only take off, hoover checklist, quick full throttle forward let go, then go in straight line to spot and leave the stick, climb + dropped, then return to home to be able to upload a clear Flight Log with the issue isolated.
When I turn the Mini on its back to turn it off, I saw in the APP a IMU error, but this only happened when I grabbed the MINI by hand and turned it to swith it off. I was holding the controller + smartphone while pressing the MINI button so I could be the one causing the IMU disruption.
Maybe this can help even more to narrow down the issue, I didn't fly my Mini for almost a month... I am deffinitely not flying again untill new FW update fixes this... is so dangerous, is not even funny... I cannot try to take a picture at all since I feel as soon as I look to the screen to frame the shot, the mini is on its way to the nearest tree top...
