Sorry to hear you lost your mavic! 😔
I’ve been flying drones for 6 years and even now if something goes bad, panic kicks in and I wouldn’t think of going manual. Maybe should practice for unfortunate events like that. Once I even considered a parachute to kick at the push of a button 😅.
I once lost control when my RX antenna broke. Since then I upgraded to ezUHF with a yaggi antenna that gives me up to 15km range!! 🤪
Made a post about my crash:

Yeah I have been practicing using the ATTI mode with my P3 now just in case! These DJI drones are suppose to switch to ATTI automatically if the GPS goes out and I was relying on that but I learned the hard way that the GPS can fail without the drone knowing it. Learning the manual override controls is a must!
Gosh thanks for sharing your story @fivealive55. And so sorry to hear you lost the Mavic Pro. :( sounds like I gotta quickly go learn how to do a manual override on my Air...
