fallen drone

Antonio Roura

my phone went too hot and when I tried to push the phone screen dji control slip for a second

i believe then is when I changed from normal to sport

 

i continued operating an the drone started to go down, far away from me

i took manual control and my drone fall 275m from me in the woods

how can I recover the last coordinates from last drone position?

    Hi Antonio. A couple ways to find them. Check that flown mission in the DL Web app and it will show the last coordinates before it disconnected. If you use a flight logging app like Airdata you can find them there as well. The other option will only have worked if you went to the approximate location at the time while it still had battery power. If you went into the DJI app you can go to Find My Drone and activate the beeping and flashing lights to listen for it.

    If you were still flying the drone but it was descending then more than likely the critical low battery initiated the Auto-Land. In the future if the Auto Land does initiate you can still fly the drone. First thing to do is ascend up to get enough altitude and then fly it back to you. If the altitude gets too low again then just ascend up again so you have plenty of altitude and continue flying it back to your location. As long as the drone is flying the DL app or DJI app isn’t needed to fly the drone. So if either app crashes or your device fails for whatever reason you still have full control of the drone. Hope this helps. Good luck.
