Hi there!
I have almost new Phantom, i made less than 10 flights, and today i crashed it...
Battery was about 80%, GPS mode and suddenly at 150m altitude on controller appeared warning - battery error and image freezed. Phantom had freefall from 150m, and you can guess what happens...
As far as i know there are not complete log files about this event, everything stops at the moment when battery error appears, including flight video.
Is this question about warranty? As i know it is  common problem whith Phantoms...

Happy New Year to all!!!
Janis.

Did you take off with an 80% battery or start the flight with a 100% battery?

It was second short flight in that day, so battery was at 80%. Crash happened 47 seconds after take off...

Ive wondered about this and the must fly with a 100% charge doctrine , how will this effect flying 3-4 short flights over the course of the day , does this mean after the first flight you risk crashing because of not being 100% charge  , should each flight ALWAYS take off with 100% charge .

Here are few pics from crash. Regarding log file last recorded max altitude was 200m.. Any way construction looks strong, 3 props are broken, one leg, and gimbal.
I send report to DJI support, so waiting for answer.

Same happen to me bro. P3p on 1.05 fw and I thought 100%on less then wk old batts and bird. Showed 50% when loss power and fell from sky. Now in limbo at Dji

I deliberately made a test flight with a partial battery charge and the same thing happen.  App said the battery was critical 45 seconds after take-off and the Phantom made a forced landing.  I am still trying to figure out if this is temperature related 'cause I don't recall this happening in the summer time.

It sounds strangely, even stupid, why we can not fly with half battery? In one charge cycle i made 2 or 3 flights. I need to film few objects in day, but i dont need to spend lot of time on them, just few circles above and than i move to another object.
