Mini crash. My fault?

[danfau07]

Hello. Been flying gor a month with no issues. 3 min flight ended with no communications with drone. Flight map shows no decent. Found drone 2 hours later with battery out if the unit, damaged. And minimal damage to drone, other then the gimble hanging by wires. Uploaded data into airdata uav and shows nothing out of the ordinary. Would anyone be able to help? What files would you like me to upload. Drkne getting sent out with refresh and full analysis of the flight data.

You could start with the Airdata link.
Make sure you've ticked the Share box.
Or just the .txt file would be good.

Thank you in advance. Im hoping u can save one if my lifelines if it does not look like pilot error.

That was a beautiful manual POI you were doing when things stopped.
Here's what that flight looks like: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
Looking at the bare data, I can't see anything obvious.
The data just stops.
You didn't hover anywhere long enough for me to tell if the wind may have been a factor.

But when I dig a little deeper I've spotted something.
It's a story about the risks of flying sideways when you haven't set the altitude high enough for the terrain.
This illustration shows what happened:

The Mini should be up there still but it might not be very pretty.

Something went wrong with the IMU?

No .. interference doesn't have any effect on the IMU.
At worst, interference might swamp the control signal and trigger RTH.
Read post #4 and what happened should be obvious.

Google is not accurate. Its an active open pit coal mine, and the terrain is constantly changing. But thank you!. I thought it all just stopped too!

Sudden power loss maybe?

It’s a great reminder to get Care Refresh and +. Cheap and it don’t matter. Smart ?

Warning

Aircraft in high interference environment. Fly with caution(Code: 80015)

There appears to be some type of High voltage substation NNE of location with a feed line running almost south and close to the flight path, it may have been a contributing factor to the interference. I try to avoid HV powerlines by 100m or more
