Thanks for sharing the details . I think it points to a simple problem : code it not certified for flying, so it may crash.. I worked some time as a subcontractor for Airbus (Yes I'm French near Cannes), and 90% of the effort was spent on code certification ,with proven tools, and so on. I've seen a professional drone pilot who carried an exepnsive € 5 000 IR camera . He simpy had 2x NAZAs controllers, could switch from one to another inflight using a second RC transmitter in the 868 MHz ISM band. Maybe that's the ultimate solution to flyways, but not worth to protect a €20 entry level goPro..

Same thing happened to me : On a drone controlled by a Naza -V1, I was hovering stationnary, slowly spinning to take a panorama. The drone started to drift faster and faster. Switching to manual didn't help . Swithing the transmitter off to activate RTH did'nt either. Can you elaborate on what happened in your case ? These fly aways are a bit of a mistery, and I don't feel very safe flying until I find the root cause of them..
