So sad that this is my first post here - but my Phantom 2 Vision is already destroyed due to this issue.
My Phantom:
- Firmware is the last version before 3.x release - updated after initial purchase on late March.
- Fled the Phantom about 10-15 times, without issue, sometimes went over about 600ft above the controller (and took some great pictures)
- Installed DJI guards
The crash case on this Monday:
- Location: Hong Kong, on a beach without people
- Weather: Hot and clear, about 30 C degrees ; calm, nearly no wind.
During the flight session it was normal in the first 10-15 minutes. After that I found the phantom was reluctant to rotate. A few more minutes later the battery started alert (on 30%) so that I try to move the phantom back for landing. When the unit nearly returned to the original take-off position, the battery meter was on 20% and, it suddenly fell into the seaside and sea water fluxed in.
When it fell before my eyes, I just observed that the motors are no longer moving.
I am wondering what happened - battery problem or I did something nasty?
