I conducted a flight test and to my utter amazement both the Mavic Pro Platinum and the new extra capacity battery I bought for it worked perfectly, flying a Litchi waypoint mission without a glitch. There is, however, one anomaly to report. The camera no longer remains in the usual 20 degrees downward tilt angle that I prefer for my flights unless I hold the thumb wheel in place constantly.
The instant I take my finger off the camera tilt wheel on my RC controller, the camera tilts upward to zero degrees. and remains there unless I hold the spring-loaded camera tilt wheel in place to keep the camera pointed down. I will run a camera calibration to see if I can cure this solitary flaw that emerged after that horrific crash, and will report my findings here just in case anyone else encounters a camera tilt issue either in the wake of a crash or out of the blue.
All told I am impressed at the resilience of this Mavic Pro Platinum. There is a horrendous crack in the rear panel of the drone, and right after the crash, I did note that one of the rear motors didn’t spin as freely as it should, though it did resume normalcy minutes later.
