Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Drone lost.
Calibrated compass in the morning and flew perfectly fine in the same area over 8 times throughout the day. Flights were in a 10 acre empty field. Last flight it went full Skynet and flew away.
14 Sats, Home Point updated @ 3.3 seconds. Compass error with 15 Sats @ 12.7 seconds into flight. Complete loss of control and it rapidly flew away. It then hovered over a forest about 100m away and then the app declared disconnect from aircraft so I couldnt hit RTH. We could see it but it then drifted out of sight. The flight playback on the app showed its last position over the forest so I figured it would just hover land there when fuel was burnt out. We searched the whole area and flew another drone to inspect tree tops. Nothing.
Then I uploaded the log to phantomhelp.com and there was a lot of extra data in there showing it just took off from there. Ascended to 355ft and cruised at 15MPH in one direction. Last data point shows it in ATTI mode, 355ft, 15.5MPH, 18 Sats, 76% Batt, Compass error.
I've calculated where it could be but not likely to find it. I'll update if I do.
I have a case with DJI, waiting for their assessment.
