Hi all,

My mavic pro crashed today on it's second flight. I've checked the log but doesn't seem to have any issue recorded.
Eventhough it wasn't a serious crash since it crashed at the moment of take off, I am just worried that it might happen again.
Would you guys please take a look if you had any similar issue or any suggestion for me?

I am attaching the logs and video
Note: my drone crashed at 00m 04s.  At the second take off right after crash I didn't record the video, but the take off was successful. That's why I had some more logs after crash.

How did this happen and how do I keep it from happing to me?

I just slide the bar to auto take off and that happen. Not sure why this happened. It only happened once and my third flight had a no problem at all.

Am I missing something here?
In the log there are multiple warnings including that you are on a heliport zone and that GPS was weak so it probably forced a landing because of these

I think you are attaching the wrong log.......that is not the log for this video

yeah I've ended recording the video and try to take off again. It worked fine right after the first crash.

Yes it is a correct log. I just stopped the video recording after the crash and it is only log I have today.

It looks like I tried to re-take off at 00m 05s to just check if my mavic still works.

In general I think most users are best learning how to take off and land. The more auto features you use, the more chance for some slip up.

I don't think I've ever used auto-takeoff in 4 years of using these drones.

Yep exactly, to take off and land manually is not a big task and is quite easy to do. Not sure why people use this unless in an emergency.

I'm an auto lander and taker offer.   Let me explain why I got in the habit of doing it ---   On one of my first landings with my Phantom 3, I went in for a manual landing.    The craft sat down on the grass and then spun and flipped over.   I know it was pilot error, but I haven't tried to manually take off or land since.

yeah I should probably learn how to manually take off. It was just my second flight in my life so didn't even think of manual mode.

I agree, this is my first drone and I used auto takeoff/land once it twice too see how it works.
I've flown in attic mode in my house multiple times, flown outside with weak GPS(no more than 100ft, mostly under 50ft with weak signal)
I try to do most of my backyard flying with sensors off. Only when I'm going far I turn RTH to home and turn on sensors..

I am still scared to control without the sensors but yeah I should probably start practicing with sensors off

I know what it was. It was John Cena who jumped on your drone!
