Hi All,
I have had my Mavic for a few days and had some really good flights, but that has all changed
I was down at the beach and thought it would be a great opporunity for a quick flight over the sea. I setup the drone planning to fly with just the controller as it was going to be a short trip. I also didnt connect my phone as I didnt have the USB cable for the Pixel with me.
The drone took off and I started flying over the sand, then eventually over the water. This is where it all went wrong..
It went quite far out so I decided to simply come back (in reverse). The controller started beeping, saying Max Radius Reached, but the distance was only showing 150ft from me!. I could only go further away, left & right, up & down, but no closer to me!!
I tried frantically for the next 15 mins how I can call the drone back to the controller, but it just didnt work. When I pressed return to home it just went higher then eventually tried to land in the sea! There was nothing I could do about this, other than watch it over over the sea, 150ft out, then eventually run out of batteries and dive into the water!
What I am trying to do is get the logs from the controller to see what happened as there is nothing I could have done to get this drone back, and also why/if the return to home didnt set/work. The only conclusion is that there was an issue with GPS, or it didnt have the correct location.
I've tried to use the DJI Assistant, and when I try download the black box data I get "Export Failed". When I try the DJI Download tool, I just get a 500 Error..
Any help on how I can get these logs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
