Latest Firmware issues

This is my second drone from DJI. My first was the Vision 2 + and I never had a no signal or loss of GPS crash. I have had the Phantom 3 for about two weeks and have flown it several times with no problems. I updated the firmware on May 23rd and flew it twice. On the second time, I took off as normal after home point, 10 satellites and flew a distance of about 200 feet. That is when it lost GPS and went straight down. There was nothing I could do. I flew it only after compass calibration and all the updates. This also was an area that I fly all the time.
I really do not want to buy another Phantom 3 if it is unstable.
And you suddenly found this forum (even though you've had 2 Phantoms) and made an account after you crashed?
Really?? How sad. You do understand that losing GPS will not make a DJI Phantom go straight down. Must be more to this story but I'm unsure that the discussion belongs here.
I just returned home from a few day trip and have yet to update to the latest firmware. I'm still on 1.1.8. From what I'm reading here, I have a good opportunity before me to avoid some issues and WAIT on updating since I've had no problems so far.
Also I was curious if the latest FW addressed the iOS issue of it reporting the RTH height 0 and flashing Firmware update required if you turned the RC on before the bird.
Thx.

The P3 drank it all.That fridge looks strikingly empty of beer?!
I decided to push all the typical forum rant about new firmware aside and upgraded my firmware. All went smoothly. Did all the calibrations and a test flight.
Result: P3P works perfectly. From now on, after 3 (or is it 4 already) smooth firmware updates I don't hesitate to upgrade my firmware.

Does anyone else have gimbals that won't align correctly out of the box? I've done 4 IMU calibrations after firmware update and gimble alignment. But it will won't level out and the camera keeps shifting to the left and won't stay on FPV.
Concrete is not equal to level.
Flat is not equal to level either...
That doesn't mean your surface isn't level, but it certainly does not hurt to check.
So your phantom lost RC signal? Why would anyone use landing option instead of RTH if flying in area where the landing will most likely kill the bird if you lose RC signal. It's not DJI's fault in that case.
Really I'm not saying it's anyone's fault until I figure out what went wrong. I never said I was in landing option. I always thought I was in return to home, but when it starting acting crazy, I tried the return to home putton and giving it up power with no luck. Believe me it was not trying to land. All it said on the app was lost signal in big red letters. The distance was 200 feet. I'm almost possitive failsafe was set ti RTH.

Also, DJI US in Torrane, Ca has my drone and logs. We will know soon what happened.
