Yes. I'm from South Africa!

Hi. I shot this tiny planet from about 400 meters up. It's amazing how perspective change from up there.

Guys, I also had fly away problems about a year ago. What I did to fix it was to calibrate the compass each time I flew. Even when I swap batteries. Since I did that I had not had a fly away. It happened to me about 3 or 4 times before calibration. Luckily it was high up in the country side.

I calibrate the compass before every flight. Also ditch any metallic objects like watch, rings and stuff. I even take my Leatherman of me. Any metal object within 1.5m will affect your compass.

Well I guess if DJI are replacing flyaway drones then they know the problem is with the drone and not the pilot! [emoji106] [emoji106] for DJI then. I wonder if they will replace my 64G micro sd card??

Maybe if they would just give us the option, that when the spark realizes in mid air that the compass is off, the pilot can decide either to go into atti mode or to continue flying with gps. Automation can can a dangerous thing

I've been thinking alot about why this happens. When I looked at my flight record I always had 17 + satellites with full signal strength. My conclusion is that when the spark notices that the compass is wrong it automatically switches of the gps signal and forces it into atti mode. I also...

I had 4 flyaways. Luckily I got control back before the spark crashed. One of them happened while my spark was descending in rth, it judt started drifting away from my home point. Since my last flyaway about 3 weeks ago, I decided to calibrate the compass before each flight. Never had a problem...
