Still unsure how to upload the specifics but you can clearly see my crash was due to more than pilot error. Which DJI stated!
Hears a look at the data which DJI said was pilot error! Not enough force/esc error over 1000 times.

There's no need to make
It would be a lot less confusing to keep all the information in one of your earlier posts here:
Mavic mini lost connection while flying, total loss, 4 days old, no help from DJI.
Yeh thought I would share my horror story with the world right here before Christmas. I recently purchased a Mavic mini from Best Buy online and after only having it for four days it lost signal while flying directly overhead and took off without me being able to regain control. Once I lost...

Ask there if you have further questions.
The not enough force message is a false alarm and almost certainly means nothing at all in relation to your incident.
Just post the link to the Airdata report rather than pictures ... but do it in the original thread please.

I wonder if we'll ever get to see the flight data?
From your screenshot of the Airdata report, we can't see much at all and certainly no proof of anything.
It looks like the drone was flown to 3492 ft away at 320 ft altitude and RTH was initiated.
The drone came back as it is programmed to and began to autoland between 12:21 & 12:42.
But at 13:04 it was now 472 feet away from the home point.
To understand the loss of the drone, we need to know what happened after 12:21.
Airdata only gives a brief summary but what's needed is the actual data.
You've been offered a number of methods to post flight data.
If you want help understanding what actually happened, please post the flight data.
Just by doing some basic calculations + reading the manual it's pretty clear that the Mini struggled towards a headwind the whole way back on 320 feet altitude ... from were RTH was initiated until it descended it took 3 minutes sharp, the distance it traveled were 3191 feet ... equals to 5,4m/s average. That's a tad faster then C mode, it should have been 8m/s during RTH as a benchmark.
With all we have read so far about the Mini's not so good ability to push into the wind & weaker engines I'm not surprised over the number of "Not enough force" errors. Can't see anything yet that confirms the reason. But hey ... why leave the drone on 320 feet altitude struggling headwinds with all these errors hailing in?
But without the logs all stays speculative ...

I really wish people would understand that sharing logs is not a way to apportion blame in any situation, but rather is a way to try and fully understand exactly what happened - what exactly led to the incident.
This information is immensely beneficial to others in this community, as a learning tool, so that we will not enter similar situations, or indeed make similar mistakes (if any).
This can only make for a safer, more enjoyable flying experience.

Let's keep it all in the other thread.
