So after all those years with Dji drones with flyaways and near flyaways, i finally got all the proof i need to document that this is still happening, and not because of a user error.
Now its time for Dji to come clean about this, and tell us what the real problem here is, so we all can prepare ourself the best way before, or when it happens. Today i literally fought to get it back, the log also shows how erratic it was, and that the drone does everything it can to get away, and fight back against my stick command.
Ive had tendencies like this before, i have had incidents, where the drone barely reacted to the stick input, and hitting the end point of the sticks is what barely makes it respond to get it back. I had just started a Hyperlapse waypoint session, i noticed how wiggly it was in the sky, and thought to myself, it looked like a drunk seagull. Then next i was watching the screen (iphone x) and suddenly noticed the right front leg came into the picture, next thing i know was that i looked up, and caught it slipping sideways in the opposite way, picking up speed.
Luckily i had some ice in my stumack, and kept my head cool, disengaged the hyperlapse, and started to fight it.
The Mavic 2 Pro barely responded to my sticks, that were all the way to the end point.
Finally back over my head, i still had to fight the sticks to have it land safely, veeery twichy with every input.
Safely to say i was a bit exhausted, but relieved. Notice another interesting thing, how erratic the flight back was all the way, like the drone wanted to get away, while i tried to fight back in the opposite direction.
You can see it on the snake shaped tracking trail. I was way above water and away from shore, so theres no chance of any magnetic disturbances, also gps shows max satellites.
IF there was a disturbance in the air, it would only start drifting, not accelerating on its own.
Nothing just starts to fly away at full speed, even if the gps or compass lose orientation, then it will just float around.
The sudden speed and heading is coming from a mishap inside the flight controller and software.
You dont have to be a rocket scientist to understand that ;) So know we deserve to know what this REALLY is about.
Ive had the exact same on 3 different drones and models from Dji, and the problem have been existing for 5, 6, 7 years now? Im not going to send it back, just to get a refurbished one in return 4 weeks later, and with no further explanation.
I wanna know WHAT the problem is. Thank you for understanding. PS, please spare me for the user error comments, i didnt touch anything before it happened, and the log shows nothing wrong. Ill try to provide as much documentation here as i can, for research purposes.
Since its a PIA to upload attachments here, ill post the link to my facebook post here as well.
