Just had a similar experience. Was flying at home and was great. Took it to a park down the road. Flew great, tried a few different modes, wanted to to a self shot and it started to jerk around. Cancelled shot and tried to bring it down slowly circled and ascended. Stick down would make it go higher stick up nothing very jerky the whole time. Tried left and right, nothing. It was like someone had a jammer or hacked it, but nobody around. Started to drift away and I figured F it I'll try RTH. Thank God that was the only control option that worked. Landed it ok. Then I changed battery, moved a little away from where I was. Did another IMU (side note, it does IMU check every time once powered on? Takes a while for it to do it) calibrated compass again. Waited for it's own damn IMU after restarting and launched it. Flew fine, but I kept it only 6 ft from ground. Scared the S out of me when that happened. I purchased the damn care package before I even activated drone thinking at least if I F something up it'll get priority, but not when it flies away and you can't find it! Which it certainly would have done if I didn't hit RTH. WTF is going on with this??? First time flying it today. Had multiple firmware upgrades before first flight. Then another one after second? Maybe that was for the different battery?? IDK I've got plenty of experience starting from a Parrot 2.0 years ago, blade 350qx3, yuneec q500 and q500 plus, and now have two inspire1's. The inspires have been a dream, never an issue. All the others were low grade wastes of money. But the Mavic, it's amazing, but goddam if it's not scary when it glitches on you. If I didn't have the experience from other crafts I'm sure I would have lost it today. My last and only working option was RTH and again thank God it worked. |
