I have no idea, I would love to know. Could this be a sign of faulty battery?

I posted to log from the DJI app to the first post on this thread. Could there be more data obtainable from the aircraft itself? If so how can I extract this data?

High qulity video of the crash has been uploaded, recovered from the SD card. Stil cause is unknown:

Hey guys, Here's an update: long story short, with the help of some scuba divers we found the drone! All props where attached and no major damage apart from the gimbal mounting. Therefore the carbon props were not the cause of the crash. I'm still none the wiser as to the cause, any ideas...
