253 flights, 25 hours 50 minutes in the air it had to happen. (Standard 3 with dji go 3.1.1) I took off this morning to photograph a house and when the bird was a few inches off the floor it drifted very quick to the right so I shut it down and it flipped onto its side on the floor and I had to grab it before it did any damage. This is the first time it has ever shown a problem at take off. The flight log shows nothing as too short a flight but was it me who caused this. The reason I ask is when I switched on I notice on the iPhone that the view was smudgy, so I picked up the bird and cleaned the lens, and in the process flipped the bird at all angels to clean that lens, but stupid stupid me did not turn the bird off and placed it back on the ground and this happened straight after at take off. Good job I had prop guards on so there was no damage at all. I switched everything off, examined the bird and did a compass calibration and took off again and have had two 7 minutes flights since with no problem. My worry is did the bird have a fault or was it me throwing the compass out, I hope it was me so I can feel confident in the bird again. One other thing worth mentioning, is on the first little flight I could not get GPS but had 8 or so satellites, which is pretty normal here, but after I switched S2 back and forth once GPS was there. Actually also thinking about it my last flight yesterday after I changed batteries produced a very very jittery video. I didn’t see this until I downloaded the video so did some more filming again and it was all smooth and ok. Is this all connected or am I being too concerned and did silly me cause the hiccup this morning. Here is the flight log – I think this is how I let you see it !!
