So I've had my Phantom 2V+ for 8 days, bought it with 2 batteries and have at least an hour of flight time each day that I've had it. Flies amazing, got some great video, tried out the ground station, everything was great, better than I imagined. Updated it when I first got it, also did the lastest update for everything, including the batteries on the 28th of October. Well I am located in Utah, and I fly down to Arizona and take it with me. Once down there I fly for probably 4-5 total hours no problem. On Sunday I took it over to an older builiding to get some sweet video. I wait to gather satillites, I had 10 before I took off. I had set a home point, and calibrated the compass because I had traveled so far (I had calibrated it prior to my first flight when I first got to AZ). I get about 15 minutes of flight time, no problems at all, battery still has about 7 minutes of time left. I have the phantom hovering at about 150 ft deciding what to film next when all of a sudden, all 4 props come unscrewed and the drone comes crashing straight down to cement. I know I had them installed correctly, you can't put reverse thread on a normal thread post and so on, plus I had already been in the air 15 minutes without any problems at all. Drone is completely damaged. Ribbon cable is wripped, gimble is destroyed, drone case is cracked, and even the battery broke out of it. After checking online, I can't find anything else like this. Talking with some other Phantom owners, the only thing we can figure is that for some reason, all the engines went full speed reverse mid-flight, unscrewing all the props. I found all 4 props, and they are perfectly fine. I called DJI yesterday and got an RMA to send it in, and when explaing to the agent what had happened he says "oh yours did that too?" and I said yeah, is this a known problem and he responds with "I dont know" nevertheless I sent the drone in yesterday to their california location, but I am wondering if anyone else has heard of something like this? Or has any other ideas what might have happened??
