Good day

I Mr A.LeRoux purchased a DJI Phantom 3 Pro on Friday 14 Oct 2016 from Droneworld Cape Town. On Friday afternoon I set up the drone and had a quick flight with my Samsung S7 on the controler my S7 Restarded by itself and then connected to the drone by itself after the restart.

On Saterday the 15 Oct 2016 the DJI Go App promted me to update the firmware of the controller and the drone I did this and both were done succesfull. I flew the drone for some time until 2 batteries were flat during this time my S7 did the restart glitch once more.

I then charged my batteries and later the afternoon I flew the drone again after calibrating it before flight, it was a clear day with open air space with no obstructions my singnal to the remote was full with 17 Satelites connected battery level was at 59% my altitude was about 28m and the distance was around 250m the camera gimbal suddenly went wild up and down movements and the red light on my RC came on and my S7 did the restart glicth again after the cellphone restarted there was no conection the return to home would not work and my drone is gone.

I believe this is due to a firmware/software issue.
Please advise which process should i follow.

If in that case, please try to export the flight record manually to check whether it will help.
Please connect your Samsung S7 to a computer, and find \DJI\dji.pilot\FlightRecord\, and send e-mail to support@dji.com with attachment.
If you have the cached video on your mobile device at that moment, please provide it to us as well, you could find it \DJI\dji.pilot\DJI_RECORD.
