I lost my mavic pro very recently too. I have been flying many times with 20% battery before and have no issue. This time, it forced land by itself. I pressed stop many times and it fails to cancel landing. At the end, I have to find a bush and crash land. I cannot retrieve my aircraft too. Completely panic and depressed experience. Contact DJI and they insisted it was misoperation. But how could the user cannot full control of the aircraft even the battery low. It was 20% and I have plenty of time to come home. If it forces land on highway I would have caused catastrophic disaster by causing accident or kill someone. Again DJI push the responsibility to user. Everything is user fault. Scam company!

DJI has many useful measures and counter measures to unsure safe flight. I agree with you 100% that the PILOT should have ultimate control and be able to override any automated forced landing due to battery level, sure they can warn you visually (Litchi will continue to warn you visually & verbally) about any anomaly situation, but restrict the pilot to act on it is wrong. Funny they have incorporated a CSC to shut down the motors in an emergency. To me a forced landing @ 20% battery does not constitute an emergency. If this was a US based company lawyers would have a field day suing DJI (lets say a forced landing resulted in the drone landing in a baby carriage with an infant in it) for their software removing the pilot as an integral part of an emergency plan. Seems to me this would be a relative easy software fix for this "Low Battery Forced Landing" issue especially since battery values are seldom dead accurate. |
