Hi Board!
Yesterday I was shooting stills and movies of a bridge. I was flying under the bridge. It was clear, that I will lose GPS and keep flying in ATTI-Mode, when i´m under the bridge. Here is what happened:
02:46 Weak GPS Siginal
02:47 Weak GPS Siginal
02:48 No GPS Siginal
02:51 GPS OK
02:57 No GPS Siginal
02:57 Disconnected
At the moment the Inspire disconnected the video ends.
A second later my colleague and i saw, the Inspire falling from the sky into the river beneath. Ist was leveled out - no rotation or something else. Seemed like it had a complete Power loss. We were unable to recover the debries until now. Battery was fully charged when we takeoff. There were no warnings, Battery was at the time of the crash all green with 72%.
Firmware of the X5, Inspire and Remote were all latest version.
Go App was Version 2.7.2
The Flight Recorder data also got no anomalys. Everything fine.
How can such a thing happen?
The Video from the Cache is here:
