My spark on my second flight just flew away, my first flight was perfect it returned to home within a few inches, then my second flight it said move away from area for the compass interference so I flew away, my drone was always in my sight so I was watching it more than the controller screen and notice in my flight log it said iMU heading error restart aircraft but I didn’t  see that message because when I looked down it must have gone and just said about the compass interference again so I flew it away a bit further still in sight and pressed the return home button, as it returned home it flashed up loads of errors that fast I could barely read them then it went into ATTI mode and I flew up a bit higher then went to go forward back to where I was only about 100m away and the controller disconnected and it just flew away, spent a very long time looking for it but it must have went miles away, what the hell happened the first time I fly it and it does this?? Am I entitled to get a replacemEnt, I bought this drone because it was best for beginners

You'll need to post your log here if you want members of this forum to review your flight, answer your questions, and maybe even track down your lost Spark. If it's important to you, I trust you can find someone who has a computer to help. If that's not possible, perhaps your local Apple/phone store will help you retrieve the file.

What is the spot where did you fly? Is it an open aria without any huge metal or concrete objects or is it in the city?

Sorry for your loss, I know exactly how you feel, I also lost my first Spark
For the future, when you get a compass error, then LAND IMMEDIATELY, do not continue flying.

I thought I just had to fly away when a compass error came up, in the flight log it shows a lot of  warnings coming up about the iMU but I didn’t see them it was just the compass interference I saw so I flew away a bit and it was fine, my first flight was nearly identical and everything went perfect it arrived home within an inch of take off point

It's not waterproof, but it'll likely be just fine if you let it dry out before attempting to power it on.

Our DJI Spark did almost the exact same thing and flew off too. We have been looking for it all day without success. I have  emailed DJI support to see where we go from here. Not exactly a great advert for the DJI Spark!
