I’m a new owner of mavic mini. I took the drone with to the coper mountain ski resort in Colorado to ski and try to shoot some snow footages. It’s out of control after about couple minutes air time. When it happened, the height is about 100 feet and the distance is about 280 feet with very good signal. All the sudden, it declined to about 40 feet. I raised it back to about 80 feet and tried to fry it back. It worked for few seconds and declined again. The return to home function didn’t work. I can raise it up for a few times and it won’t work any more, grounded and crashed. Thanks for the find my drone feature and I can rescue it. The good thing is only 3 blades were damaged. I wonder what cause the issue. The attitude is about 15000 feet. Is it possible the high attitude? Did any one have the same issue?
My guess would be the low temperature.
I’ve flown my Mini in the yard, in the cold, several times. It seems the reliability of the drone decreases with temperature.
I haven’t flown it in very cold temps, only down to around 25F. I’m pretty sure it was colder than that at 15,000 feet on Copper Mountain.
I skied there back in 1982 or so. Very nice, but I liked Monarch better, fewer people, more skiing. |
