So this will be my final update on this thread so there's closure for anyone interested...
After my continued requests for their team to review the data plus my video (linked earlier in thread), I was eventually arranged a phone call with one of their account specialists to discuss the situation. It was nice that the case was escalated for me to speak to someone live, but that it wasn't very productive as you can imagine; I just received some reassurances that the team will review once again for me. I had asked why my case was any different from a few others I had found here on the forums, but no comment except its case by case review.
SPARK LOSE BATTERY in AIR???

DJI Spark fell from the sky

Spark lost power with full charge, fell smashing to pieces
https://forum.dji.com/thread-105996-1-1.html
Shortly after the call I received an email update noting that "the final determination is that my unit hit a tree and that caused the crash, which is considered non warranty".
Here's the final email update below that I received for this matter. Their graph was not helpful nor conclusive IMO, the data appears to cut off and is consistent of my theory of sudden power loss. Also, the GPS coordinates show an area with a lot of trees, which is consistent with my video, except IMO I was already well in the clear before anything happened...
FLY 043
1. unit was flying in SPORTS mode and was responsive to RC commands
2. at t=64s, relative height =34.6m, unit hit on a tree in the front and fell under SPORTS mode.
3. user commanded full pitch forward before impact, no obstacle avoidance on sports mode
GPS:43.8033874 15.9639825
Anyway, since the language was quite clear, I decided not to bother anymore and just pay for the repair cost. While I'm happy with the responsiveness of the support team, their refusal to acknowledge the evidence I presented and continued defense that sport mode==crash has been extremely disappointing.
I'll continue to enjoy the Spark as it's a great device, and hopefully this won't happen again for myself nor others! |
