Hi,
Today, I took my Anafi on a flight to take a few shots of a pod of dolphins that was frolicking around. I launched from a ledge, but since I didn’t fancy my chances at landing it there, I planned to land it on the beach below instead and retrieve it from there.
When the time came to turn around, the anafi entered auto RTH. I overrode that and flew it to the beach (closer) instead. I found my planned spot and commenced descent. Midway through the descent, with about 10% battery left, the drone just cut out and tumbled ~15m from the sky. It fell awkwardly and it’s basically completely wrecked.
I get it, maybe I should have taken more margin and not let it go to auto RTH, but battery is battery and the drone should NOT just cut the motor without being completely drained. This tells me either the battery was incorrectly reporting, or there was some software glitch that caused the drone to somehow “think” it landed safely.
I’ve looked at the log and it didn’t record the flight as a crash. I was on 1.7.3, on iOS using the sky controller 3.
what should I do next?
