"Warning set at 30% and its back to me." Ditto here. Even at 30% I'm nervous.Sorry for your loss, I would never have my bird over the sea on 14% battery full stop. Warning set at 30% and its back to me. I would never trust a battery below 20%. Not much help I know, what sort of condition was the battery, did you have a regular discharge regime to keep the battery calibration on point? Good luck with your dealing with DJI.
Thanks for your inputs I appreciate it. I have been flying under the impression that dji go would warn me if something goes wrong. It slows me down if the motors are overloaded, but than allow me to fly the drone into the abyss by overloading the battery while using a flying mode designed by same smartasses that decided what kind of battery the device would be equipped with. This is nonsense from my point of view (not saying it isn't the fact) just saying how stupit and not very responsible by dji designs. I had not one battery warning I. This flight and have never been warned or shown anything about this battery being unstable or being told that full throttle on atti is on any way a risky behavior. I've been led to belive that I'm using smart tools that will make adjustments when needed and give warnings when needed.
It's like designing a car that blows up if the gas levels are below 30% while driving in 5th gear. Wouldn't it be demanded that the manufacturer wouldn't equipp the car with that fifth gear?
This is obviously a huge flaw in design. Or at least a huge amount of irresponsibility by manufacturer to not provide information needed to fly safe.
And actually it's just another case of Chinese ethics, use sweet talk about smart stuff and safety to s ll product but not provide the info about the self destruct possibility when using one of the smart function provided.....
I'm pissed about this crash, so I am truly a bit biased here, but is it really to much to ask that advertised smart devices actually outsmart the self destruct function?
Looks like the voltage dropped below critical level. Battery was in bad shape. You were down to 3.3V and drawing 30 amps. You must have been hammering on it coming back. Sorry for the loss.
All the electronics and "smart" software in the world does not protect you against poor aeronautical decision making.This is the kind of thing the dual battery system in the I2 is supposed to protect you from, yes?
(Going to turn on battery voltage monitoring now...)

"return to home failure.' What is that exactly? You couldn't regain control with ATTI mode?Lost my bird due to a return to home failure. Dji said it was my fault because the showed a stick pull down after my bird flew away. Lots of luck with dji!!!
Ok guys it happened. I was just about reaching the bay where i stood at homepoint, batt at 14% when I simply watched inspire throw itself into the sea. It did not answer to me trying to ascend like it would if auto landing were happening.
It was an errorless flight from start
And everything seemed just fine
Dji go didn't show any errors not even at the moment it crashed.
So here I am left without a clue what happened. the log files I know how to access don't show me anything, the inspire is on the bottom of the ocean.
I called Dji in the United States and were told to contact Dji in Netherlands by email and I've already done so but not received any reply since this happened just tonight. how does the dji deal with such cases?
Do they ever take any responsibility themselves or do they try to put this on me?
Is there anyone here who can reach into those log files of mine and find out what really happened?
I would be really grateful if someone would give me some helping hand here.
Here's the airdata log :
Airdata UAV - Flight Data Analysis for Drones
From your description, it sounds like you flew your bird out to sea until the battery reached 14%, THEN decided to take action. Surely this isn't what happened. Please clarify.
