Beautiful day in the PNW . Decided to take out out my Mavic.
Charged my Batteries and controller100%.
Went to an open field .
Connected the controller to the DJI go app on my Samsung S8.
The app did warn me that a firmware update was required but allowed me to fly anyway.
I took off and selected the precision return to home option.. Took it straight up to around 250-300 feet in about 20-25 secs and before I realized what was going on the thing came spiraling down in 5 seconds and was completely destroyed.
As far as I can recall, when the drone connected to the app, the app reported everything as normal.
It did show a "firmware upgrade required" and " high wind warning". The wind was very light and in previous flights, I was able to fly even though there were warnings.
The video was corrupted, but was able to repair it using some mp4 software I found on the internet.

How do I find out what happened and what are my options? I purchased this at Costco , less than an year ago.
