Good morning. Very much please experts to report what happened. 15.12. 2019 I flew in the morning with a drone (mavic Mini). The drone took off, set the home point, immediately departed and after a flight about 30m crashed into the corner of the building. There was no possibility to control the drone with the controller. The drone is at the seller's complaint. According to his statement yesterday (DJI service in the Czech Republic) the guarantee will not be accepted. I don't know the reasons yet. I've been flying the drone in the same spot - no problem. It was also calibrated here earlier. The application did not require calibration before takeoff. So I didn't do it. Please, it's my fault, and what? Thank you very much for your answer. Flight record is attached. Sorry, my English is weak. I write using translator.

This is your flight https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/48HE11QZZKB30RAQLGYI

I'm not an expert on reading logs but in 0:7 (0,3 altitude and 10,5 mph) and 0:8.5 (3,9 altitude and 21,6 mph) I see the CSC for stopping motors
Did you change the app setting to stop the motors from "only on emergency" to "always"?

To stop motors, sticks must be fixed in "stop position" for 3 seconds. Random stick movement not stop motors...

Thanks for remind this. I didn't check the duration of the action in the log.

Hallo. By default, I only changed the RTH height to 42m. Everything else was in the basic settings of the application. Yes on an uncontrolled flight I performed a CSC maneuver, but did not confirm. There was no time, drone within 1s crashed into the corner of the object .

Do you have a photo of the crashed MM? Is any of its legs broken?

i wonder if there was gps lock, it's weird that you can't see the drone's location in the flight log. Can you check your DJI Fly app and post a screenshot of your flight? We should see there if there's gps lock. You can find it under Profile->More

Your stick inputs seem to be mostly corners which is not a normal place to be moving the drone forwards /sideways etc,  mostly the corners are just going to make it spin.

Yes, can you redo it with the sticks controls enabled? (top right button with the image of a stick)

Seems very strange that the RC-AC connection is zero, red.

DAFlys It is true. But the drone did not respond to these movements. He accelerated straight against the building.

That's a scary story! Stick movement looks strange in the log. Was the controller in your favorite mode? Or some interference? Smartwatch, incomming call to phone...

I don't understand the wi-fi signal . I'm sending one more video. Another flight before. Flight without problems - no problem. Also the wi-fi signal above red. But the drone responded to the controller.
Is there something wrong with the controller?

I also so the wifi signal indicator in red even though I was VLOS and in a free of interference area, it made me worried but AC responded correctly, maybe is an indicator of a sudden interference?

Hello DJI Stephen, thank you very much for the message. Since 18.12.2019 with the support of DJI communicate. I sent everything possible. DJ, you're cool. Super communication . Last time support wanted a drone and complete the form CAS-3863384-S8C4G4, e-mail ticket 2492416. But I do not have a drone - is at the seller. It is said that in the Czech authorized service DJi. According to the e-mail from the seller said the claim from DJi will not be recognized. Just after-warranty repair. I have to wait for the reason . And apparently I do not communicate with DJi.Therefore I asked for advice experts here on the forum. I just want to know what happened - why the crash . Tomorrow it is a month since the crash and I know nothing .
Thank you very much for your care.

Hello DJI Diana, thank you very much for your interest. But I'm already unhappy. I have no drone for a month. And most of all I don't know what happened . Where's the mistake? Others write that they have the case resolved within 3 days, and I still have nothing. Yes I know it was Christmas. It makes me very sad. At least know what happened to the drone ???? ...... And I have been sending e-mails since 18.12. 2019. I respond to everything immediately. The drone is said to be in your authorized service in the Czech Republic.I really don't understand it anymore .Thank You.L

What I've observed is that when my Mini's battery gets low, the light goes red.

It should not have drifted away like that. Probably the hold of the sticks in the Emergency Stop position wasn't long enough but still went into Forced landing, then continued to drift away. No idea why it happened.

I still maintain all these fly-aways are really a badly implemented attitude control logics. It makes no sense with a drone with so mach technology (GPS, VPS, acc., gyro, magnet.) to drift away like that.

Same thing happen to me few days back. While I was landing the drone after around 7 minutes flight drone start to spin and crashed and broke the front left arm. Already logged the issues with the DJI care team since I have bought this only 2 weeks back. Submit all the supporting logs and flight records and yet to receive a feedback from the DJI team. There were no error messages while flying. (Attching the last message pop before the crash. There were no trees or obstacles near drone . Still can't understand what blocked the motor )
