Very sad to have to share my crucial mistake and last flight with Phantom 4, at least maybe somebody else can learn from it. Went down in the lake today as I tried to fly very near water surface. I flew in same manner couple of times before and really liked feeling of it and footage, but I got tricked today.
Also right before the flight I had feeling that this flight would not end up good for some reason..
I have been looking and analysing through the flight log of the crash, even if I did tried to adjust the height not to be so low it kept sinking little by little by itself, my guess is that the wind played roll in putting the aircraft down, finally and violently.
This drone was really great for me, never had single issue with it and I flew many nice flights.
First I did not wanted to see the actual crash in the video cache but then I wanted to upload it and contribute to the "drone crash compilations" as I myself did enjoy seeing lots of those on the tube. So here is mine:
Happened also to be right in front of me as I was flying by the spot where I sat on the rocks to the left. The sound comes from the ipad and was enabled through dji go 4 app.
