I was having the exact same issue with mine and replacing the blades worked wonders. No more errors and it even seems to fly more stable and take off straighter. I don't know if it's a manufacturing defect or not but I bought my Mini used so there were some dings in the blades. After replacing them it's like I have a whole new drone! :-)
Same thing over here. Had the drone for 2 weeks now and it was great, no crashes, not even a small scrape then, all of a sudden, yesterday I started getting a lot of Max power load reached errors.
When descending, sometimes the drone would fall a good couple of meters even if I let go of the controls, then it would recover and climb back up. This happened a couple of times. Also it was noisier and slower. One time, mid-flight, it banked abruptly to one side (you can even see it on the video, I thought something had hit it - scared me for a moment) even if there was no noticeable wind.
Today I decided to replace all 8 props after seeing others having this problem and the issue is 100% gone - now the drone flies smoother, quieter, takes off straight up (before it was slightly pulling to the sides), no more max power reached errors.
The only question remains: WHAT HAPPENED to the original set of props? Again, no crash, no scrape, no nothing. Only thing I could think of is that they got somehow crushed in the carrying case (?), but visually they looked intact. During replacement one set of front props seemed to be less tightly screwed than the rest of 3, but nothing major.
@DJI - any info on this? Why has this happened? Is the drone so sensible or was it a manufacturing defect? I'm starting to lose my confidence flying it ... |
