I am trying to get some help here to get to the bottom of the issue of my drone which crashed into water and i was not able to recover it. I was doing a normal flight and the shot i was taking started up high with a descent moving forward (Pretty standard). I finished the shot and drone came to a still, i then rotated the camera 180 to point backwards and it suddenly spiralling out of control moving right and crashed into the water. I tried my level best to stop it going down but it didnt work.

Flight Logs: https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/6E6V27EH1PZL1XY8MMNZ

I am sure the logs will show that this was not my fault and even though i have DJI Care Protect i cannot have my warrantly claimed because i was not able to recover the drone. I would like the logs to be reviewed and isued a replacement.

My Mini found the ocean yesterday after it went into a "Forced-Landing" mode 45 seconds into my sunset flight. Under near perfect flight conditions (clear skies, no wind or weather), I took off, rotated about 180° and did a fly-away from the beach to about 250' out over the water. Upon returning, I panned left about 90° for video of the beach and I then received a "High Wind Warning" then immediately after that, a "Props Rotating Too Fast" warning. the drone entered forced landing mode and was completely unresponsive to my controls. Even RTH would not work. The result - splashdown 65' offshore. Am returning in a few minutes to the scene of the crime to see if I can recover the drone... why? Not sure as I'm sure the drone is toast being in saltwater overnight. Maybe the SD card and the props are salvageable. And I was thinking of upgrading to the MM2. Not sure now.
