I have had pretty much the same symptoms with my mavic pro. It once took me to bushes, but it happened at ~2 meters and mavic got hanging by its antenna/leg and i only lost one prop. Now that i know i can't do precise braking, i could even live with that..
Which brings much worse situation to mind. Yesterday, i thought i have to try if everything works and got to sky. Its been quite cold in Finland for couple of months, so not that much opportunities to fly. Yesterday there was -6 deg Celsius and little wind. I got to ~15 meters, slight movement while hovering, but everything seemed fine. Got to little bit further and to 120 m altitude. Basically to line of sight maximum. Rear light was green to this point. Checked my screen and noticed little rotation and drift, which was just getting to speed and errors started to appear. Probably all navigation aids lost, I turned camera straight down to see which way to brake and when i got it to almost hovering, started to check if i see where my home is. It then said on the screen that mavic was 900 meters away, it was at about 200 m when this nonplanned journey started. Never had flied that far at that direction, so it took a little time to understand where my mavic was. After finding familiar landmarks, i got it pointing home and started to fly back. I have never been so happy to hear drone noise again
As i descent to home, it somehow found gps and other stuff at about 30 meters or so and i could land on my hand easily.
So, should i only try again in summer or is my drone broken? If i could fly bare handed, it should be ok for electronics.. And i have flied in colder conditions and seen many mavic videos from others in the winter..
Could the motors interfere with all navigation, if sportmode or wind demands too much? Or voltage drops for same reasons? Any better ideas? Only got couple strong wind warnings on the whole trip. What systems wind speed calculations use as a reference? Gps? Gyro? Would it even notice wind, if those are shut down? |
