My response was not directed at you Sar. I chose to ignore your response because I found it non-responsive since there was no persistent high wind. This was confirmed by the weather data and DJI. The flight record also showed the unit was avoiding obstacles at 400 feet. What obstacles...

Your comment is much appreciated SunnyD. I come to this forum for guidance and support but find it really brutal. Not sure why this is the habit with this forum as others are not this way. Trying to delete my account and profile but cannot see that function anywhere. Good luck with our flying...

I hope you learn from this experience as well. Sometimes your forum members are right.

Bummer that DJI disagrees Meta. Take it up with them please.

Since I started this thread, I thought I would provide everyone an update. After nearly 6 weeks of DJI analyzing the flight log, they disagreed with most of the analysis in the above thread. They have now agreed that the unit malfunctioned as I stated. They even checked the weather records in...

This is a really good point MrGreenjee97 and something only you have brought up until now. I will post an update soon as DJI seems to agree that the Mavic malfunctioned.

Thank you for proving my point. You are a class act.

All good points. I thought the product was more robust that it could handle a 80 foot building and virtually no wind. If you really think that a slight breeze (5 mph-ish at ground level and maybe higher at 900 feel) disconnected the RC, froze the screen and drove the device backwards 2,000+...

Hi Meta4. Thank you for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time to review the flight log. Here are my thoughts on what your wrote: 1) There were spurts of wind but it was not a super windy day. I agree that wind is higher at higher altitudes so wind surely did play some part 2) The climb...

Yeah, I see that so it should have come home. I also notice, after continued reading of the log, that the drone is "backing up to avoid obstacles". It was over 400 feet in the air so there are no obstacles that high. The condos are 4 stories and about 80 feet high max. I think the device...

That is a good thought and I have wondered the same. The "new" home point setting was an area that I was near during the flight but I was not that much north. I would have been within a couple hundred feet of the "new" home point so it is definitely possible. If you are correct, that is...

I just uploaded the flight log (621fb61). It seems to have behaved exactly as I thought. You can see the RTH activated many times and the drone just kept getting farther and farther away. Bummer not to expect some type of refund from DJI but I guess I understand. With electronics, stuff...

I am an experienced pilot with hundreds of flight hours and several drones including the P4 and Mavic Pro. I am not asking for advice but merely telling the story for your own information. I was in beginner mode for a quick photo shoot over a marina. After a few minutes of good flight, the...

This thread has been great. Don the pictures are cool and I appreciate the aperture help as I am trying this as well. The FAA waiver thing was great learning as well. Keep up the good work Don.

How did it all work out?
