Thanks for that info. A very good suggestion.

Fly Dawg, that is definitely the takeoff location. Thank you. See my prior text for further details.

Yes, my mistake, that is the parking lot from which I took off. See the attached 3-D map. For what it’s worth, there is currently a huge demolition project going on directly across Alexander Street, which the drone subsequently flew over, add fairly low altitude. I should also state that The...

Sorry, BudWalker. I did not see your second post until after I submitted mine. Is that image produced from the.DAT file? Is it possible to see a more extensive view, as I don’t recognize that as the launch location. It could be however. I believe the drone probably was facing north at launch...

No, those were the latest ones. I now believe that the flight did not last 21 minutes. That time was based on the so-called “flight map“ (not sure what it’s called precisely) that my friend that I observed at the time, under stressful conditions. The.txt file seems to be a more logical...

Meta4, thanks very much for the prompt analysis of the .txt file. I was there this pm and looked all around, including those several trees to the NE, but couldn't spot anything. Planning a flyover Monday to see what we can spot. After a week, I'm not hopeful, but... Appreciation to all who...

I opened the .txt file and discovered that it shows a different location than the visual map we pulled when we were logged into the dji site via go4 last week. Not sure what we were looking at, but it was just a flight "map" with recorded info along the way. Went to loo for it, but not there...

And thank you as well, BudWalker! I missed your post in the first readthrough.

Thanks so much, Fly Dawg. That is very useful, and new, information I will definitely pursue this approach and report back.

This story caught my attention since I had a very similar incident with my phantom 4 advanced last Sunday. Except that I was not able to locate/recover the drone. We have been able to view the flight map, by downloading it from the go4 app. The last location reported, about 21 minutes into...

Thanks again for suggestions. I changed to a different SD card following the incident. I have also tried to reseat the ribbon connector, at least the one I can make contact with. I also reset the camera settings. Nothing seems to work. I'm thinking maybe sending for service might be the only...

Thanks for the prompt reply, Fly Dawg. Being a newbie, I'm not sure where to look for all the ribbon cables. I can see a couple on two different sides of the gimbal mount. I'm pushing those in and we'll see if that makes a difference. Can you tell me where to look more specifically?

After falling top down about 10 feet after landing in a tree, the camera is no longer recording either stills or videos to the SD card. I can still see live video on the controller. But if I take a still photo, the screen goes blank for several seconds before returning to the live feed. The...

Hi CenLA, I ran across another post of yours dated May 10, 2016 regarding your malfunctioning camera after a crash. I now have a nearly identical problem, and symptoms. Were you ever able to resolve your issue? If so how? customer support is recommending I send it into service, but I hate to...
