The purpose of Dronie Mode is to bring your mavic close to you then have fly backwards and up to show where you are in the world.

What are you expecting the Dronie mode to do that it isn't doing?

I had the same with mine. Flew back level not climbing, then the app froze! Tried hitting stop but it hit a low tree before I could get the controller to override the autopilot. Luckily only minor damage....

Sorry to hear about the case. How about the drone's performance? If the drone is hurt by the damage, you can send the drone back to us, we will help to arrange an overall check. For the app frozen, you might need to start the app if it happens.

DJI Thor,

Thank you.  I have uploaded my video to dropbox (4K so quite a large file) see here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3oq4j ... V30tEsby-rXqYa?dl=0

I am new to the Mavic so my reactions were not as quick as a more experienced operator may have been.  I fixated on the stop button in the app rather than just trying to override the app with the controller (you can see me on the left of the video trying to stop it) - good learning point for me there!

Luckily it did not fall too far and landed on soft grass which broke the fall.  The only damage was one broken propeller and the front left arm hinge pin - the top sheared off where the clip holds down the spring pressure:-  see photo

I have made a temporary repair until I can get a new hinge pin.  I am presently travelling through the Americas (see www.tuckstruck.net) so sending in the drone is not really an option.  I have a spare propeller but I would really like a new hinge pin.  Is there anyway I could get a new hinge pin posted to me here in Colombia (collect from DHL office etc) or do you have a dealer in Medellin where I could get one?

Thanks for your help,

Marcus

Made a new hinge pin from a bolt. Works well and should last me until I can get a proper replacement.

Dear Thor,

Since Marcus already sent you a video,

Will forward Marcus video to our engineers to confirm. Appreciate your patience. Since the new firmware was released, could you please try this version? Note that try to fly the Dronie mode in a wide broad place without obstacles. Looking forward to your feedback.

Hi DJI Thor,

I have just tried to download the flight data but it is missing for that flight.  However, I did have the Mavic recording the flight perimeters for each frame of the video if that is any help.  I have uploaded the .SRT file here for you https://www.dropbox.com/s/f9iyawmi8bjsnja/DJI_0001.SRT?dl=0 hope it helps.

Hi DJI Thor,

The flight is in my 'Flight Record', first flight on 12/11/2017 and is synchronized with the cloud if you have access to it.  I have also just done a screen recording of the flight from within the GO4 app - it shows that the drone does not climb!  The video is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/1rg81nj6gsrl15c/Screen%20Video.mp4?dl=0

Marcus

Marcus, I appreciate your work, SRT file and flight record will show the issue, might not be able to help to locate the issue, but it is still very important for us, will forward it to our engineers. And may I know the firmware of the drone? Thank you for your feedback again.

Hi DJI Thor,

The firmware was 01.04.0000 I believe (It was the last version before 01.04.0100).

you can manually do dronies and such, however i do wish mavic also has gesture support for rocket and dronie as stuff, how hard could it be to implement that into the mavic.

Hi DJI Thor,

I think I have found the issue.  I was under the impression that in this mode the drone would fly backwards and upwards from the start.  However, having moved to a more open area I was able to test the mode more thoroughly.  This mode flies backwards without climbing until the drone is 30 m away and then it starts the climb.  Obviously if you set a short fly out distance (less than 30m) you will not see a climb at all!

Was this the intended profile?

This is true that the drone will not ascend at the very beginning. It will first fly backwards and then ascend at an angle. This was mentioned in the Dronie mode tutorial. So firstly, Dronie mode needs an open area to work properly.
