This is a real issue. I took my Avata for a flight up on a mountain south of Phoenix and I hit this issue 4 times in the first minute of manual mode flight. I was able to catch it each time, avoiding a crash, but this is definitely an issue with this drone. While I'm yawing to the left slightly, it will suddenly pitch down, then yaw sharply left, then pitch back up. So you end up 90 to 180 degrees rotated around from where you started. And this all happens in a few frames of video, so maybe 200ms at most. I see part of the prop guards in the video frame for a moment, so it seems the pitching may be the camera rather than the body pitching, but I'm not sure.
Overall, I've been loving this drone and it flies great in Normal/Sport mode with the motion controller. And I haven't hit this issue in any of my previous manual mode flights. Not sure what about my most recent flight was triggering it so often. It was a bit scary and I kind of babied it for the rest of the flight, which seemed to help, but took away some of the fun since I was worried it would do that near the ground and cause a crash.
Not sure why some people here are so quick to deny that there is any issue or blame it on pilot error. There are many videos posted here which show it happening. These are not newbies crashing due to inexperience and they're not people pushing the drone past its limits. It's misbehaving in manual mode when pushed very slightly, and this is NOT acceptable. I have a lot of money invested in this drone, and I'm regretting it a bit.
DJI, are you listening? Do you plan to investigate and fix this issue? I can repro it for you very easily and would be happy to send you any flight data if it would help. I'm hoping that it's a software/firmware bug which can be fixed with an update. |
