Yesterday was my last day in my Spain's holidays, i went to the Siurana mountain where it's very beautifull, so i decided to take my Spark. I prepared all, checked the battery, the compass, the RTH point, all were good and i started to fly. And after 2 minutes of flying, my drone disconnected automaticly, Dji Go app proposed me to RTH, i accepeted, but it didn't work, it told me that it can't RTH. I run as long i can in hope to find the signal but nothing, it was like it disconnected instantly, like if it turn off alone and immediatly. I searched everywhere while approximatively one hour with the hope to find it but arrived at the edge of the cliff, i realised that my Spark is lost. I'm very disapointed because i had it only 10 days ago and i don't know what to do, can i contact DJI to help me to understand what happened and if the can help me ?

Sorry for my English, i'm french i hope my explain was good.

Try sent your flight data log to DJI Support and hope they can solve your issues.

Firstly, your English is fine.

Really sorry to hear about this. I think this happening is something we all worry about. It sounds like your Spark might have suffered the "falling brick of doom" problem. Did the video feed cut off suddenly when the problem began?

You should definitely submit a claim with DJI and send them your logs. Unfortunately I think the most likely outcome is 30% off a replacement. Good luck just the same....

Sorry for your loss, like Nelsonlee mentioned, please provide the flight records to the Support, they'll submit a data analysis for you, see if they can find out what happened. Please refer to the link below to contact the Support.  http://www.dji.com/support

So sorry to hear that. There are a set of flight logs in your mobile device you used to fly it.

Even I felt my heart drop reading that.    I can relate.. not with spark specifically.. but similar event has occurred.    I can relate, different area, have to return home long distance away, and your huge investment is RIP....  and RIP on most majestic place..  I had a camera stolen from me before on my travels.. $5,000 wortha kit.. gone I only realized it later on when I was going to use it...   

Unfortunately for me though, it’s 4am here and I’m leaving in a short while to go to my farm for an emergency..  or something urgent..  something is going on.  Apparently worth a couple hours of driving on a Monday pre rush hour I’m told.  So RIP me..  

Yes, your case is almost same like me, wifi signal suddenly lost and can't find it anymore, search every place but can't get the signal anymore, i can imagine this kind of case will happen more frequently in future, let see how dji to settle it

This sounds like a fly-away and not a drop.  2 minutes of flight would still be pretty close.  I definitely understand though that various in various terrain 2 minutes of flight could be challenging terrain.

With all these fly way problems and other issues with the spark that are occurring at an alarming rate, Don't you think that as long as the flight data says that it is nothing to do with pilot error that DJI Should  give out  new sparks to each and everyone  with those problems and asap. As long as there is no doubt that customers are not trying it on and pretending to lose their drones which is not the case i might add..
So DJI come on and give out replacements to those unfortunate customers NOW!!
You will still be a profitable company........

I am sorry to hear about the case, could you also export the Flight Controller LOG Data in the mobile device and upload it to Dropbox? I'll help to check. Thank you.
Please refer to this tutorial begin at 1:08:

Have you been flying with a controller?

IMO they never should have sold Spark without one, at least not in the current state. Even with RC I had frequent disconnects from phone (yes, it reconnects quickly with the latest firmware but that's hardly the point) while the RC still worked and could control the drone. I'd never dare operate it without RC.

Yes the video cut off suddenly, and signal too. No response from the drone, i've got the RC telecomand in order to have better connexion but it was not ...

Yes, this is the flight record file, I saw your another post, you mentioned that you sent the data log to DJI support, did you get a case number from the Support? If yes, please provide me with your case number, we'll keep an eye on it.

I haven't yet send the data log, just a mail where I explain what happened. The case number is : 689002. Is it better if I open an other case where I explain in English and where I put the data log too ?

Hi DJIDiana,

I had the same issue myself 3 weeks ago. Immediately reported it to DJI and now have a case number (CAS-865395-F0G5N1).

I was told on 7/8/17 that my flight log data would be analysed, but have heard nothing since. When should I expect a response, and how can I escalate this? I'd only had the Spark less than a week, so very upset to have had it fly away without any controls being pressed!

Thanks,
Duncan

Hi DJI Thor,

I have not received any further emails yet, how long does this process normally take? and is there any one I can speak to about its progress?

Thanks,

I lost my drone nearly two weeks ago and DJI still haven't looked at the flight logs and gotten back to me - so much for expedited service for people who pay extra for DJI care. I am really disappointed with this company.

Sincerely sorry for the unpleasant experience, just checked your case, it is under analyze now, I've escalated it, we will get it sorted out shortly. Appreciate your patience.

Thank you for looking into it!

Sorry to hear about your loss, hope DJI make it work and provide you with a replacement, given you had the DJI Care package.

Best of luck

Could you please PM DJI Diana your phone number and e-mail address? Our technical support will contact you later.

I do hope your case will be solved soon. Please keep us updated here.

Thanks everyone - DJI have said it was a warranty issue and will replace the drone. They didn't use DJI care refresh.   I'm obviously delighted but also somewhat nervous about flying again...

That's great news!  Glad to hear your case got resolved properly.  I too had a similar situation where my screen went out, lost connection, and off the drone went.  Also waiting to hear back but I haven't been waiting quite as long yet....patiently waiting

After their analyse, DJI have said it was a warranty issue and will give me a 100% coupon code for a new Spark, but since last Wednesday i haven't got any news about the procedure, anybody knows what I have to do you now ?

Reply to the email saying you want the code and a few more working days later you'll get the code - if not contact support and they'll chase it. I think it's best just to call them directly:
