I pressed auto-takeoff on my Mavic mini and it flew straight forward full speed into my house.


I tried to gain control on it to no avail.

It then bounced off my house and reached 47.56 km/h in the opposite direction and crashed in a field!


I had GPS Lock, I was receiving no warnings, the  compass and IMU had been calculated the day before.


There was only 10km/h winds.


All batteries and Mavic software are up to date.


Any idea WHY this happened ? I've just mailed DJI but is there a way that I can send them flight logs ?


How do I access the logs or will the be able to access them ?

Is it wise for me to continue flying it or should I get DJI to replace it ? (I've emailed them now)



Thanks!

I'm not an expert in deciphering the flight logs, but that does seem weird

Yeah, from 11.2 to 12.2s, the drone has a speed of 6mph (a decent speed) and you're completely off the controls.

Hiya,

I have a idea, speed and position are not correct to the actual values ; or input to IMU or IMU is mis calculating input values. In some other analysis program i read IMU velocity and speed errors.

Can you confirm that the drone was pointing at takeoff in the direction approx 240 degree? Or was it at another heading, my guess is about 170 - 180 degree?


So start a case with DJI, my guess is that they will help you.

cheers

Hey DJI Paladin,

I followed your instructions and I emailed DJI through that link.

My purchase was within the last 15 days and i'm afraid the DJI might be ignoring my email on purpose so that they do not have to give me a replacement ?

So I would like you to update me on my case

my email is shanemcgeown@gmail.com
my email / ticket numer =. #2468650

Please send me an update ASAP.

I'm looking for a replacement drone because the Mavic Mini was DOA (Dead on arrival)

Thanks,
Shane
