I lost my Mavic yesterday while using Litchi app on android to take a panorama. It drifted a couple thousand feet while it was taking the panorama in low light conditions. Once I realized it drifted, I pushed the pause button on the controller and then the return to home button. It acted like it was returning but the the distance was not decreasing. I tried to fly it manually home but the distance also didn't decrease. All of a sudden it said panorama complete. The controller then said disconnected and I lost total control of the drone. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the phone from the controller but this didn't help. After I was past the time the battery would have run out, I used the find my aircraft button in Litchi and it showed it was over a hill from where I was and from where I originally started the panorama. Afterwards I looked on my phone for a flight log and I didn't find any matching flight log. The last flight log in the Litchi app folder was from two weeks ago and I have had many drone flights using this device. I had recently started logging my flights using HealthyDrones on a different phone, so I looked at that website and it only had incomplete logs from flights earlier on the day I lost the drone when I was using a different device as controller. I looked at the device I was using when I lost the drone and I hadn't configured the sync with HealthyDrones which explains why the log was not posted there.
Today, I hiked to the location where Litchi reported under "find my aircraft" and along the expected flight path if it attempted to fly home. Unfortunately, it was in a densely forested area with lots of underbrush on a very steep hillside. I pretty much covered the area by foot but didn't find my drone.
I'm not sure why I can't find my flightlog. Any ideas? Also, what is the location where Litchi reports with "find my aircraft"? I assume it is the location where the controller had last contact with the drone. I have set for the drone to return to home with disconnect which is why I searched the return path.
