Today i went and got some video and photos from a solar farm but when i got home there was nothing on the SD card. Tested this on a CD card reader as well as by connected the spark with the card in.

The phone showed the recording. It was missing everything from that flight. Has anyone seen this happen or have any idea how to stop it. Its not fun to get back from a flight and have nothing saved.

Always turn it off. Never pull the battery.

I recorded video of it taking off and flying for abit.
Stopped the video and took about 6 Photos then went back to video recording for the landing and then turned the drone off as normal.

All the photos and videos from that flight are missing. The phone showed the recording and timer so i'm abit lost.

I've order a new SD card just in case.

Sir, did your phone save the cache videos in the app? Please try to format your SD card and test again. Any error message in your app? Thanks for your support.

thanks for the reply. I didn't have the cache on as i was using a phone with low storage.

I've formatted the card and order a new one in case it is the card. Its recorded all the other flights ok so might have been a one-off or a card fault.

These problems are happening to me too. I took a video yesterday that I wanted to upload to my computer, it disappeared over night, nothing has been different than ever before. The files just vanished

Hi! whenever i come back from shooting with my drone... the initial opening of the folder shows my footage but then it sort of crashes and the files disappear.
despite this, i attempt to connect and disconnect the micro sd until they appear again... this has happen to me with multiple cards...

what i find works is putting the card into a different device and even back in the drone and then reinserting into the computer.
This eventually fixes the issue with the missing files.... It definitely is on DJI's side of things
