Finally finally I too can say my mavic is acting strange. So many reports of strange behavior or crashes I figured damn I'm so lucky to have a good one. I've flown it a week now no issues at all. Terrific. Everything had worked. Except today. I went downtown to an old church to get some tripod footage of the gardens and some orbiting shots of the steeples. Everything went well except when I rose above the steeple, I started circling as planned then on the opposite of it, I noticed the GPS number of Satellites went from 17 to 6 and a yellow bar came up instead of green. I noticed extreme drift with that, suddenly the Mavic was drifting keft right forward backward whichever it wanted with the wind as you'd expect withiut gps. (Note: I had just calibrated compass twice on the ground in the grass with success, before any flying at all.)
After it began drifting I decided oh my Jesus, I better land it. I switched to downward camera facing to make sure nothing was in my path of descent. As I descended it was OK, but started shaking my extremely rigidly, very short harsh movements like an earthquake from my view in my phone until i landed it. It was all white scary. I turned everything off. Back on, and did some low flights and everything was fine.
DJI, this is scary. I've never had an issue flying my phantoms or other drones, nothing like this. I thought this was just everyone else's issue. Now it's mine too. God I love this thing. But damn I'm scared of it. |
