Hello, I flew my drone about 10 meters to the spillway of a lake. Initially Tripod worked perfectly, the drone was slow and smooth. Then I popped it down behind the spill way and probably it was too close, a few feet, and began to go forward. I immediately popped it up and then went to navigate it back behind the wall. This time I think the problem was that it became level with the water and from the movie it was mostly seeing the water, it then went crazy moving around rapidly in an area of a few feet.
At this stage it was under a foot bridge so I couldn't go up, and within a few seconds it was crashed into a bush. This was rather fortunate in retrospect as if it had hit the concrete it would have been damaged, but it seems ok except for a few small notches in the propellers. I turned it off and restarted, it reset its inertial sensor and then took off normally and responded to controls, so I landed it.
I checked the bridge today to see if there is a power cable in it, uncertain.
I'm generally happy with the Mavic Pro, it is a factory refurbished model. There are a couple of other issues, that day I noticed it was drifting a bit in light winds on P mode. Shouldn't happen. I had to move it away from a bush. Another time it dropped out of GPS mode in strong winds and blew away. Fortunately I was able to quickly point it in the right direction and bring it home. I couldn't get it to do its dronie the last time I flew it, so checked the firmware, and reinstalled the remote firmware which was up to date. There had been a message of inconsistent firmware, that day.
I've put the video online here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_eHxtZU_Wc |
