Reversed vertical controls?

Hi!

I've been flying casually since February whenever i get the time (around 16h+ worth). But today something very strange happened.

Im out at a new place, planning to do some aerial shots of a beach resort. I did the usual preflight checks, recalibrated my compass. My first flight goes fine without a hitch. But my second flight was crazy. Suddenly after the standard take off (1.2m) whenever i press up on the left stick, it would shoot down erratically. Sometimes it would respond up, sometimes down. I tried to land right away, and ended up burying my spark in some sand.

At least no one got hurt.

Has anyone had similar issues? What could have happened?
 
Could be the vertical distance sensor system that give erratic measurement. Check if the lens (1) and infrared windows (2, red) bellow the Spark are clean.
