    Devastated, flight number 124, Phantom 3 at the bottom of the ocean

    Ive had a similar crash. Bird was only lightly damaged as it recovered before finally crashing to the ground from low altitude. Engine failure according to DJI and they repaired under warranty.

    Strange Crash: P3P Lost, Compass Went Haywire

    Ive had a similar crash. Spun out of control, recovered then spun some more. My luck was a fairly soft landing and little damage. Engine failure according to dji after they analyzed my log. They repaired it under warranty. If they conclude the same you might be lucky. If a prop came off then you...

    Crash!!!! ????? What went wrong

    If you look at the notifications on healthydrones there are several warnings: motor obstructed. Like someone else commented, ice on your props due to foggy conditions seems a likely cause

    Crash landing or land and then crash...

    The only time I flipped was on a slight incline and with a gust off wind when powering up. Was the landing surface completly flat? Note that if you can prove the bird crashed without your input you stand a good chance that DJI will be reasonable or at the very least give you a discount. I've...

    New Phantom 3 Pro failed to RTH

    Check your RTH settings in the app to make sure. But I do think that low power caused the auto landing yes.

    New Phantom 3 Pro failed to RTH

    Final thought, replay your flight in the go app and look at your inputs. That will tell you if you flew to the farthest point yourself or not. The latter would mean a flyaway and more reason to talk to DJI for analysis.

    New Phantom 3 Pro failed to RTH

    Couple of things stand out. You got a low power, not low voltage. That is strange considering you took off with 50% and landed with 25 a while later. It says the battery was charged 0 times. Do you have multiple and mixed them up? Used this one fresh out of the box? After the first error it says...

    New Phantom 3 Pro failed to RTH

    If you upload your log to healthydrones and post a link we can see the exact error message, where that happened and what happened right after. It will also show battery % at takeoff etc.

    New Phantom 3 Pro failed to RTH

    Note a lot of people are confusing low battery with critical low voltage. Low battery will force a landing only at 10%, low voltage often happens when flying a not fully charged battery and then mostly around 50% battery remaining. Lots of different threads about it.

    New Phantom 3 Pro failed to RTH

    Critical low voltage error will initiate auto landing. Rth will not override, only if you cancel auto landing you can bring it back.

    Critical voltage and ios

    Ive had the same, not used it for two weeks or so. Autodischarge brought it down to about 60% got critical low voltage error soon after takeoff. Lesson seems to be: charge fully especially if you havent used it for a while.

    Phantom 3 Pro Catastrophic Battery Failure

    The key point in this whole discussion is to determine when/why do we get that critical low voltage error. I noticed that it wasn't an issue for me till after 20+ charges and no deep discharge, before I flew often without a full charge no problem. Recently flying with a battery that wasn't fully...
