I also lost a phantom from a fly away. My case was just like this one... The phantom stopped responding to controls, I also tried everything (including turning off the controller) then the phantom flew itself into a tree - I lost the phantom AND a modified gopro 3 with cinema lens (not to mention the storage card and an FPV transmitter !!!!)
I bought a new phantom, new gopro 3, new everything... this time I also had the Zenmuse Gimble professionally installed at dronefly.com. I flew for 5 flights and now the gimble is limp and useless.
It is becoming clear that DJI saw a gold mine in low priced ariel video equipment and simply put out a series of products that are far from perfected and ready for market. I make my living as a cinematographer and record producer and have been dealing with hi tech gear for 3 decades. This stuff is garbage.
