Oh man, really sorry to hear about this! I just started reading this thread and looked at your logs before I scrolled down through the rest of this thread. I was afraid based on not seeing any errors that DJI was likely to give a response saying they couldn't find any fault (theirs or yours). Based off other forum members responses, my guess is that they will offer you 50% off a replacement.
When I just watched your video, in the last fraction of a second before the video ends, you can see a sudden yaw to the left. If you slow the YouTube video down to 0.25 speed, you can see it more clearly as well. After seeing this, I went back to look at the logs and I can see that in the last 4 log entries, there is a sudden movement in the RcRudder value from 1024 (stick dead center with no movement) to a value of 686. I believe this indicates a fairly sharp yaw (probably stick moved half way to full left yaw). I think full left yaw would be a value of around 364 from past experience. From the video, it looks like you were already rolling to the left and is seen in the logs with a RcAileron value of 364.
I'm just speculating here because there doesn't appear to be much in the logs to go on, but maybe with it in Sport Mode and already rolling to the left, the extra yaw input turning it left sent it into a condition it just couldn't handle and it just cut out. From my perspective (and experience), it doesn't seem like a scenario it shouldn't be able to handle. And again, I'm just speculating and throwing out ideas. Like some others mentioned, I wouldn't be surprised if it tumbled out of the sky near the last location. However, it was nearly 400ft up and traveling at about 30mph.
If you want to find your drone, you might want to knock on doors or leave notes in the rough area shown in the pic below.
Best of luck on a good conclusion!
