I was in gatlinburg tn. the other day going to be there for 1 day only, it was cold so about noon time the skys were clear I wanted to get a few shots from above. I live in Florida so I did a compass calibration first. Powered everything up, got 9 satellites, everything looked normal.
Had it sitting in the parking lot, started the motors and let it sit a few seconds, took it up about 5 feet and let it hoover a few seconds, it bearly moved so I took it up just below 200 ft and snapped some shots. It was only in the air for maybe 2 but no more then 3 minutes. Put it in come home mode and about 5 or 6 seconds into coming down it just took off and disappered over a hotel so i lost sight of it, I was shocked to say the least. My first through was its in come home mode so it will be back, but after waiting about ten minutes I knew it was gone, but for the next 20 minutes or so I kept ckecking knowing the battery would be dead by now. I tried to get an ideal where it might have gone but because I lost sight so fast I could only quess and most of that area is not places you can just walk to, plus everything was covered in snow, kind of hard to see something thats white. We did ride around the roads we could go on but it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
Not sure how DJI handles things like this but i hope there is help.
If it was my error I would not even tell anyone but it was in come home mode, it was supposed to be automated |
