MAVIC上海外滩飞丢

I recived my Mavic Pro about a week ago as I was headed out the door to China for a business trip. I frantically unboxed it and made space in my backpack, I was excited to say the least! I landed, got to the hotel and finished the unboxing and setup (including firmware update). Yes, Mavic Pro it is truly amazing to travel with. The picture is great! The controller is better than my P4 (IMO). I got some gorgeous shots in Shanghai, Zhujiajioa, Suzhou, Tongli and other places. All was well.

Fast forward one week to today – While flying over the Bund in Shanghai I was performing a backwards shot over the water leaving the new Shanghai Tower and its surronding. Everything was going great and I was just getting ready to slow down and bring her back home. Then the video cut out… and the RC lost connection. I waited patiently then impatiently for 2 minutes (A small crowd had gathered to watch me fly). But no connection. So i took off.

I did the only thing that made sense which was to run and go find it, and here is where it gets weird for me. I switched to map mode and it showed my Mavic moving left and right in place about two miles down the road from me. I got to the location of where it should have been and there was no clear site line from where it had been coming from (between a gold building and one that said citi). I looked at the map closely and realized my starting point according to the map was a few thousand feet inside the city, not the harbor from where I took off from. I spent the next 3 hours trying to project my flight path from where I really took off to find where it really would have landed but nothing. I looked at my log and compared it to the video preview on my phone and the two didnt’ quiet match up right. I searched and searched and searched but as the sun rose higher and the streets got more full, my heart sunk. After walking around for 7 miles I had to call it quits. My Mavic Pro had disappered.

Called DJI Support and found out they are only open M-F… Will call again on Monday.

Now that i’m 6 hours removed from the incident and about to board a plane regret and panic is setting in. My Mavic just flew away somewhere and either crashed or landed in some random place. I’m not mad, I’m not frustrated, I’m not straight up blaming DJI for anything (although it did just disapper), just sharing my adventure and hoping for anything good out of this situation.

Keep flying everyone!
