I was wondering if anyone could help me out with why my phantom fell out of the sky.    I have the log file from phantomhelp.com which I will paste https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/TTV2QM3NO4OROBNEA1C6/?fbclid=IwAR2ju1yDS1-37A_gC7ZRvW_cuhZB1QmU63jwhpPSlBJ0ahRKQQWLwqON-bw


I also am going to paste he link to the video which I uploaded to youtube.  This video is set to unlisted bevause I plan on doing an edit to the video when I make it public.   

Here is the link to the video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6YW0Kik1sM&t=2s


Thank you!

Other than some spinning at the end of the log, I see nothing that looked bad.  Were you using a stock antenna?

After looking at the video, most probably a blown prop.

You took the drone up to 437 ft and brought it back down to 366 ft.
There are no signs of a problem until 1:47.3 when you were hovering and rotating the drone slowly clockwise.
The drone briefly tilts back and rolls sideways and starts to rotate anti-clockwise.
The rotation briefly stops at around 1:48.7 and the drone stabilises but at 1:50.3 it tilts back and rolls sideways again and begins rotating anti-clockwise rather quickly.
At 1:51 it started losing height while spinning, and tumbling.
This indicates that it lost either a motor or a prop.
If all props were intact when you found it, that's pointing to either a motor problem or a fault in the ESC that controls one motor.

btw .. Setting your RTH height to 754 ft is not a smart thing to do.
