Dear pilots, i show you my first injuries due to my MA drift away while it was landing, so i have to grab it by hand that i will not loose it. Even though i recalibrated everything, gps and vison too. I am on latest 0400.

Ouch.
Hand landing is always risky.
I do use it from time to time (Mavic Pro) when the terrain won't allow for landing on the ground.
But watch out for those blades spinning like .....
Once I got hit by one on the thumbnail. No blood, but I could still feel it after 2 days....

I do not want capture it by hand unprepared. But this situation, if i did not do something, i can lost it. I did not know why it drift like crazy, very light wind. I will ground it until new updates roll out. Hope it can be fixed with image issue

Ah ok.
It can be due to the surface of the ground.
That can fool the lower vision sensors.
What was the ground surface like?

It's concrete, flat and no objects.

Sorry for the accident. I would recommend you take care of your wound first. I would not recommend users catch their drone with bare hands, it is really dangerous. Please export the flight data with DJI Assistant 2 and we will help you locate the problem of drifting away.

yesterday while flying it, ive noticed some strange drifting, yaw moves and lack of stability, and Ive landed it and restarted checked all sensores state (imu..compass..) , and all seemed back to normal.. but all suddenly.. when i was flying close to the ground, the controls stoped responding.. and the MA just went in front, straight to a door. luckly, no damaged parts resulted.. but now Im concerned flying again, since this is not best of problems to happen.. was on low altitude, because if were on higher, id probably wouldn't have my MA now.

That should not be a problem indeed.
As DJI Elektra suggested, I am interested in the flight logs.

Vision position may not working on concrete surface. If GSP signal is weak and switch to vision mode it may drift.

Hi Diana, thank you very much for info. That's very weird because in flight data did not show up the drifting. I have to capture it before it drop to water.
