[QUOTE="SpeedCore, post: 18989, member: 3102"] ... in the Baltic Sea :( I took a flight (my 50th flight btw) along the shore of the Baltic Sea and wanted to take a pano shot at approx 300ft agl. The RTH height was set to 20m as you can also see in the flight log below. When the pano aborted due to "camera error" I decided to activate RTH with 27% battery power remaining and then the disaster took its course: The Spark ascended to over 500ft (despite 20m RTH height configured) and went back and forth until auto-landing kicked in due to low battery. It descended and gave me a message like "surface not suitable for landing, proceed with landing?" and then it was gone. I took my iPad and ran to the last location - that was in knee-deep water. I found the Spark with my feet on the ground of the sea and pulled it out. Now it's completely disassembled on the kitchen table: the mainboard, gps module and front sensors are in a bowl with rice and the main frame with the motors is sitting on the radiator. I'll put it back together tomorrow and I'll hope that it will still work. I'm wondering if it was a pilot failure or if the Spark just did act weird and I can force DJI to get into warranty (don't think to now that I opened it, but I wanted to rescue it!). I'd greatly appreciate if you take a look at the floght log and tell me your opinion.
