Hi Guys,
Seems I'm not the only one who has had this happen to them! Basically, I had my drone up over a nice harbor area here in Oslo and I wanted to get some video footage flying in towards the shore. All was well for a few minutes, I received a high wind warning so I descended but started to notice the drone drifting out to the harbor.
This seems to be where everything went wrong. The RC lost connection, I had skippy footage on my controller and everything I seemed to do would not resolve the problem. My drone started to descend and a RTH sequence was initiated, however I was powerless to stop the drone plunging into the water.
I am a new pilot and so I'm unsure if it was a mistake or negligence on my part. I have uploaded the flight logs here, there seems to be two logs for some reason, one for the flight right up until a few seconds before the drone hit the water, and another for a few seconds just before it went down.

Can you guys have a look at the logs and tell me if I should contact DJI or just suck it up and buy a new drone?
Thanks in advance!!
