So as many of you may remember back in May My mini 3 pro disconnected and flew away or crashed, DJI replaced it at no cost to me and now this one did the same thing. I'm again having a hard time trying to find the flight data. Its very difficult for me to try and figure it all out. I've been looking for the drone for 3 days now but haven't located it yet. find my drone is useless as the aircraft disconnected from the controller .I'm so frustrated with the whole system. I can't report the flyaway as DJI won't let me log in. I say forgot password I make a new one and it tells me invaild gone thru this process a few time and cant get to log in grrrrr. I'm stlll trying to find the flight logs but directions are giving me a hard time.
Mini 3 Pro did it again arggg

It's not hard to find the flight data.
Did you use a phone or tablet, or did you use one of the newer controllers with an integrated tablet?
the other problem is it been telling me my flight storage limit reached upload now. I try to up load but it keeps telling me upload failed
Connect the controller to a computer and the flight records are in there at:
Android\data\dji.go.v5\files\FlightRecord
What's the most recent .txt file in that folder?
i have no idea how to find that my controller just shows a bluish screen with album sky pixal profile other stuff
Try uploading the most recent .txt file to the Phantomhelp log viewer and then post a link to the report that gives you.

When signal was lost, the drone was 200 feet away to the west.
It was 70 feet higher than the launch point, over land that was slightly lower than where you launched.
There were no obstacles to block signal or crash into.
The data ends at 1:09 with the drone flying at full speed in Sport Mode..
On loss of signal, the drone should have initiated RTH and come home.
The pitch and roll data suggest that winds were light and wouldn't prevent RTH.
The drone was only 200 feet away so should have been easily visible and audible if it was returning.
If it didn't return, the most likely explanation is that it lost power and fell.
If that was the case, the loss of power explains the loss of signal and no RTH.
When the data ended, the drone was directly above 34.07650 -112.13225.
If the drone fell, it is likely to be near that point, but probably a short distance to the west of there.
can you tell if it was my fault or the drones fault.
I watched it , it tumbled and went down . very busy , high grass and trees very hard to fine.

Because the trees are in your way, you just need to keep your flights much higher , this way you wont loose the signal so quickly , this can be a little bit of a learning curve.
This is a good example of not having a clear line of sight to the drone as those immediate trees can comprimise that flight.
One good habbit to get into is do a quick hover up and to see your surrouding and if there might be a better place to get a clear line of sight or at least get you further away from the trees.
The quick Hover can save you in so many ways.

If you were going full speed in sport mode it would have came down at a pretty decent angle. If the area is long grass as you mentioned, it may not have been damaged much or at all. It could be the battery became dislodged and lost contact. Maybe you know some folks who could help you grid search the area you think it went down in. If several people in a line move slowly through that area, maybe one would come across it. It should be 50 ft or so west of the last coordinates recorded.
