    Phantom 2 flew away today

    Ya, I just had my DJI fly off .. land 300 feet out into a lake and drown itself. It was locked to gps and all was good but I believe there were solar flares (magnetic pull) happening on the west coast and this causes serious gps malfunction. The shitty little dii literally committed suicide...

    Hows this for a Save.....

    Thank you for your support on this !!! All I'm getting is "rookie move", "who flies near 20% battery" kind of comments. I flew this thing many times across inlet's, through forests, and many exciting places. This was different, it totally **** it's pants and flew off 300 feet to the middle...

    Hendricks, you have no idea what your taking about. It was 20 feet away and coming in slowly for a controlled landing. GPS was correctly set and It takes itself over, flies up 70 feet and out 300 feet to the middle of a lake. Ya rookie move I guess.

    DJI drone Commits Suicide - Anyone else loose $2700. ?

    So I just bought a phantom 2, brushless gimbal 4 and attached a hero 4 go pro black. cost in total about $2700. It flew fine for about 10 times, when the battery got to 20% it would take itself over and return within 30 feet of original gps starting point. Not great but at least somewhat close...
