So I was doing a routine flight today in front of my house. First, just like always started with getting the PV2+ out of the case, removing the gimbal lens cover and gimbal lock. I checked the camera, and the Phantom. Everything seemed fine. I put the phantom on ground, put the battery in, turned on the controller, range extender, than the Phantom. Just connected with my iPhone, and I was ready to fly. I didn't calibrate because I was going to fly in the exact same place I flew a few hours ago. Battery fully charged, so the range extender. Connected the WI-FI, got to the DJI Vision app camera and fired up the props. I started gaining altitude slowly, in a corkscrew pattern. Went up to 60 meters and started cruising.
5 Minutes later @ battery level 78%, I was hovering at 65 meters altitude and 70 meters distance, taking some shots. For no reason, phantom connection gets broken. The last image on the grey broken connection screen, I see the camera view "pixelated". I tried to get the phantom back to land, cause it was unusual. It didn't respond, and a few seconds later, it started falling rapidly. I put it in failsafe mode, still no response. It crashed somewhere... and still haven't found it. Searched for 7 long hours, but no luck.
I am very sure that it was working properly, cause it was really new. The last time it flew perfectly, I got it just 2 months ago... Can someone help me with this? I am just so curious what happened. If someone had similiar scenarios and know what happened, and why, I would appreciate the help.
