Earlier today I was descending straight down to land at the end of the flight (about 18 minutes in, Zenmuse H3-2D with Fatshark FPV). I usually try to avoid coming straight down to avoid VRS but today I was flying over a neighborhood (my dad had asked me if I could take a few pictures of his newly redone roof) so I didn't have a choice.
Anyways, while descending, the Phantom suddenly yawed and started dropping in a hurry. I thought I had gotten into VRS so I tried giving it some cyclic but it kept dropping. While I didn't have any control over the Phantom I still had camera control. Somehow it did slow itself down a bit at the end of the flight and come out unscathed.
But why?
I still had 30% battery at the point the Phantom started dropping. Since my first level warning was set at 20% I thought I had plenty of battery to land. Both the battery and the Phantom are fairly new, less than 5 flights old.
Ok, sorry about the rambling. So, does this look like a low battery autoland? Do you think it might have been something else?
