Hi all

I've had a very odd error with my mavic mini. I was flying along nicely, no issues - along a beautiful lake - beautiful day, beautiful sunshine. No major winds and I wasn't flying too high at all. Suddenly, the MM loses connection and then regains it. Then I notice how it no longer moves back into my direction and suddenly loses a lot of altitude. I could not recover it until it finally dropped into the lake I was filming with >17% of battery left.

It was showing me the motor speed error as well, however it did as well in the previous days, after which I had changed the props.

Would you mind having a look at my logs?

many thanks

Looks like several motor speed errors, read the post right at the top of the forum, DJI advise contacting support if changing the props doesn't fix it, flying over a lake with that warning was very risky (as you discovered).

You probably had damaged props which needed to be replaced (strange how the replacements were the same though), this can result in an uncommanded decent especially if the battery gets low like yours


Sorry to sound negative, hope DJI can help

The poor thing complained and suggested to return home and fix it almost immediately, the error isn't odd at all, not even after replacing some props... the loss of altitude with repeated warning is a confirmation your props were bad.

Maybe next time?.......
