Hey there,
on last sunday I had a very annoying experience with my june bought mavic air.
I started the drone at around 5:30pm where it was already dark outside - I would have created shot from our christmas market - , no calibration needed (did this as requested on previous flight).
Immediately after starting my flight I recognized that the drone was drifting in a way, I've never experienced before.
This behavior seems to be well known happening in atti mode (https://forum.dji.com/thread-82184-1-1.html).
Unfortunatley I lost control over the direction joysticks, only controlling the elevation was possible.
Also the drone reacted very very slowly to directions joysticks.
And so it happened the way it had to:
Drifting to direction close to a house, I changed the rotation to prevent from crashing with the house and tried to fly it back to starting point.
But on this way without proper control the drone collied with a traffic sign and crashed on the ground.
Result:
Disjointed broken right front motor, gimbal disjointed and unusable. The electronics stll works, but...
Next story from today:
I asked a friend to rent me his air for an indoor flight inside our sportshall to create videos from tactics.
Nearly same story:
After a short period the drone started to drift and rotate uncontrollable until it crashed into the sportshall wall.
Fortunately only one rotor was broken an I was able to changed it.
So summarized nearly two broken mavic airs in three days.
Today I checked the flight logs on my mobile phone.
The app is able to show both flight captures.
Playing this offers me a lot of error messages shortly after the take of (unsafe atti mode flight, weak gps)
But when I open the phones local drive and navigate to the flightlogs folder inside the mavic air app folder, there are no txt logfiles from these flights.
So I'm not able to upload any logs of them.
Any ideas?
Also my main question:
Do you think if there is a chance that DJI replaces my damaged drone with a new one, because of the uncontrolled drifting without any ability to have controll over the drone and then bricking it?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Flo
