I'll record it! As for attitude, I am just done with the **** thing. I don't know for sure if it will fly but it probably will. I am just done with the P4P and no way will I trust it anymore. I was able to put in the battery and connect to it with the r/c ... I will see if it flies and if it...

This particular battery (an obsidian battery in a white drone) fits really tight, much tighter than it did in my obsidian. Oh well. The drone probably still flies... Perhaps I will ram it into a tree or something.

DJI battery. Thanks for the help guys. I figured this was what happened. Stupid design I guess. I have officially put more money into repairs than it is worth. Maybe I'll add this guy to today's burn pile ...

Should I try to extract it again? Or should I just share the file straight from the drone? Or is the file going to be irreparably damaged if the drone did just lose power?

This is the THIRD time this has happened to me with a Phantom 4 pro. Twice with my original obsidian, and now once again with the white one a repair place sent to me as a replacement. Basically, I have the drone flying around somewhere, the connection with the controller is suddenly lost and...

I don't remember anything about atti mode. I did find the drone a couple weeks ago though, based on sar104's wind data and that beautiful red and yellow line...

I think I am gonna go with the not being careful about the latch thing... I guess I will fashion some straps or something...

Heh ... actually the drone was found several days ago. Check out a few posts up. I actually did find a guy who lives near me and he came up to try and find it with his Mavic, but we didn't have much luck. What actually helped me the most was the telemetry data from the log. Sar104's red line...

What columns should I be looking at in the dat log to compare data to the txt log? I figure I want to determine whether or not the dat log records any time after where the txt log cuts off, as well as look for the battery voltage items you mentioned...

yep ... I am going to have to decipher these readouts. I am trying to figure it out... I will play with it tomorrow

This is the dat file from the aircraft I am wanting to examine, not the txt file from the remote or tablet. Unfortunately, the walk through above will not apply...

Well, I did neglect to mention that south is also downhill and steep from the drone. The fact that the smash was on the inside end is suggestive that it ejected before hitting the tree or the ground: The placement of the crack on the hull is suggestive that the battery may have ejected upon...

Heh, I'm pretty sure I kept my cool... I remember setting the controller down and waiting a good while for the signal to come back. I had played with the loss of signal RTH thing a couple times by flying it to over to my neighbor's property (the next canyon) then walking inside my house...

So I got access to a road near that location from the property owner. Tomorrow morning I will be going up there again, armed with more data. Honestly I just don't see how it could have attempted RTH and not made it back, having only burned through 22% battery on the way out, and still sitting...

Really? I mean, my $35 whoop drone can bash repeatedly against the wall without this happening. I have bashed many RC cars quite hard and not lost a battery connection... Even my laptop can be moved around and shook in my hand pretty good without a loss in power. Minute sliding around along...
