Hello. Long time lurker. On Monday night I lost my done. This has been the saddest week of my life. I took off and waited for it to record the Home Point. After that I flew it in one direction. Within 1-2 minutes I lost video feed. Then compass. Then gps. It said magnetic interference. By this time it had been maybe 3min since launch. I pressed Return to Home. Nothing. It said “RC connected” (but still no video feed) so I pressed left and forward hoping to see flashing lights flying in a circle. Nothing.
So far I’ve looked around the home point and where it last had connection. I’ve posted posters noting I’ve lost the drone and that there’s a reward. My name and contact is on the battery. Can you please help me figure out where the best place to look is?
I lose video, compass and gps somewhat frequently but it has always regained its connection. Since it recorded its homepoint, is it likely that it reconnected to gps and tried to go home but maybe missed?
After losing gps, would it just continue drifting in the same direction? I think it would likely be carried away by the wind right?
As its battery drops, it would just try to land wherever it is right?
The Healthydrones analysis lists "Landing battery". Does that mean it started trying to land as soon as it lost gps? Or maybe it picked up my RTH command? Though I did try to spin it in circles after realizing the RTH wasnt working.
I’ve uploaded my flight record to phantomhelp/logviewer (DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com)
