I was flying my Mavic Air yesterday and wanted to get a boomerang quickshot of us on a castle wall. I connected via wifi to my phone, no need for the controller and I put the Air up and set it to quickshot, boomerang. Checked my initial view and tapped on myself. I put my phone down to let it do its thing and it proceeded to fly in the opposite direction for a boomerang and start to do a larger arc. Right at a tree!! luckily I hit the stop button just as it trimmed a few leaves. I look at the screen and it shows its in helix mode! I think WTF. Maybe I pressed that by mistake, but I was 100% sure I didnt. So, i set the shot up again. Hit Boomerang. Tap myself. Put my phone down and wait. It now does a Dronie!. Now im a bit concerned so I bring it back. I check im in boomerang and hold on to my phone. I tap myself to start the quickshot, it started counting down, i then realised my palm had caught the quickshot button for helix again and it just started to fly off to the right. I quickly stopped the flight, brought it back into shot and did the boomerang again. This time being mindful not to catch another quickshot option.

So, to DJI, this is what I suggest. When a quickshot has been chosen and the subject tapped. Before the countdown starts. Lock to the quickshot its set to.

For everyone else. Be aware when you are doing a quickshot that you dont accidentally tap a different quickshot.

I used every quick shot yesterday on my MA and all six worked perfectly - including two boomerangs and an asteroid. Very strange why that is happening to you. Always best to just use your finger tips and double check your chosen selection before tapping go then keep you finger over the X pause button on the RC in case you need to do an emergency stop.

Yeah, i had no problem with it doing the quickshot, i just noticed its easy to accidentally tap a different mode just before it starts the quickshot.

Thanks for the information.
It would help to lock them out good idea.

Funny you should say that just yesterday hit asteroid and got dronie, did try a few other quick shots with no problems, but like you was convinced I pressed the right buttons, so I don’t know will need more testing.

I think tomorrow I'm going to go over the field and test this out. Something isn't right here. I was assuming it was me that made this happen, now im seeing a few reports of the same thing and even worse, people are reporting that in active track the air might divebomb its target!!
DJI where are you and what are you going to do about this???

I’ve just shown my wife your post, as she was making fun of me for getting it wrong, look forward to outcome.

lol yeah, my lot were getting annoyed with me having to wait each time it messed up.

Hmm you seem to be having a similar problem to mine. No matter what quickshot mode I do, it always does a dronie.
