Nothing obvious in the log.  Open a ticket with DJI and provide the log.  Sounds like a hardware/electrical failure in IMU possibly.

Yup, i open ticket in DJI support. Im just curious, and if i ever had new one i want to minimalise such fail. According to log i was at 0.5m height at 1.26 (all was OK), on 1.27 i was 4 mether under ground drone switch to atti, and crash few seconds 2-4 on 60 methers under ground switching modes from atti to gps few times. Im pretty shure that i was so suprised that i do not push any buttons. I dont even had time....

So I have bought 3 DJI drones. 2 Phantom 2's, 1 Phantom 3 pro and I own a Osmo. I have a private pilots license.( I fly real planes ) I have a FAA 333 exemption. I have built drones from scratch. ( quad copters ). Been flying drones for 5 years.  I was flying my Phantom 3 pro yesterday on a video shoot for a customer when my screen went black on my Ipad and it said "no signal". I looked up just in time to see a splash in the lake. At first I thought I saw a fish jump but in my disbelief it was my drone. Just flyingh away from the beach
to do a shoreline shot the drone just quit. I had over 70% left on the battery. Just got done shooting other shots of the home. I had the latest firmware installed. Here is the footage just before the loss. I was just heading out. One thumb on the forward stick. No pilot error. I think DJI may have some issues with the mass produced drones. The customer service is
very poor. I run a drone video photography business  I have been using DJI products for years. Never had one fall out of the sky. I would like to get the flight data from the unit but it will not function due to being in the water. Any suggestions on how th remove data on a dead unit?

AC, just a suggestion - if you use these commercially you may want to buy from B&H and get the SquareTrade warranty which will replace them - as long as you have the drone (wet, crashed, etc.) to send to them.

It's a good investment if you are a heavy user and need your machines.

It sounds like a battery problem (do you use DeOXit on the terminals often?) - I think the machine keeps some logs on the Remote...doesn't it?
