I lost my on December 31, 2017... It's under investigation since 04 January 2018... Cause unknown, definitely not pilot error. I am still waiting to hear from DJI.

i just did the latest firmware update v4 1.22 3037 and after saying it was ready i flew for maybe 5 minutes and the drone fell out of the sky, damage to gimbal and one arm. It is now unflyable, ill call dji on monday and see if my extended warranty will cover it. Since posting this, I went back on my logs and now see that "motor current error, check your propellers and fly with caution" was coming up, many times in the 3 minute flight but I didn't see it, since I was looking at the drone. Wonder why I didn't get a loud audio alert for this? Anyway, so this is more info for you guys. Do you think this is warranty or I have to use my insurance to cover the damage

Dude, you went a year into the future and lost your drone?

Sorry, couldn't resist your typo.

Keep us posted. I dont like the sound of this one. You may have lost a prop or battery was not locked...

I was flying my Mavic Platinum in a very open area with no electrical towers or any interference what so ever at approx 121ft in VLOS. Then I get a warning stating RC Interference fly wit caution, so I hit the RTH button and I wait for my drone to come home. The Mavic Platinum never came back. It had never happened before. This was the third time up that day and I had updated the firmware to the latest DJI Go-4 v4.1.22 update. So it worked well the first two times then it glitched. Go figure [emoji34]

I've seen this once before also. Flying at 375'. Horizontal speed was 0 after the drone initially started RTH. I got concerned and took over manual control and flew it back. After and landing and looking at the logs it reported an obstacle and was then going to try to avoid it. There was nothing near the drone at that altitude. Not sure why that happened but I did have a CPL filter on at the time.

Don't think a CPL filter would affect obstacle avoidance. Since the filter is on your camera and Obstacle Avoidance would be detected by the 2 sensors on the front of the done.

I thought the visual senor(camera) was also used. But now I can't find where I thought I read that on the DJI site. I must have misread this somewhere.

Nup, the two 'camera's' either side of the main camera.
