I think he is saying the battery was actually at ~15% battery based on my flight time. The battery thought it was at 63%?

Im on a old firmware, will they still replace it?

Im still on a very old phantom version. Ive never updated it and I bought it about 6 months ago.

No, I know where it landed though. Its in about 7 foot of salt water. I have a buddy that scuba dives, might have him come over and look for it. What is it worth?

So was my voltage good when I took off? Im wondering if the battery just dropped to 3v then dropped.

Im very certain i saw 4 bars. I have many batteries i would have used a different one if it was at 3. What was my voltage all the way up to the crash?

I checked the battery before i put it in the phantom by pressing the button, said full bars. I had just fully charged it recently. Assumed it was at 95% as it normally is when I take off. Dont my flight logs say?

What is my next step? Suffer with my loss? Did my flight logs say i had good voltage up until the 3v no signal?

That is when I saw no signal. I was gaining altitude, looking around. I saw the landing gear in the bottom left of the screen and boom no signal. I can see the archived recording on my ipad. The recording stopped when i saw no signal.

No fully charged. It was maybe at 95% by the time i took off. But the props were still spinning when it hit the water. I could hear it buzzing. Thank you for your help.

Here is my flight logs. For some reason there is 2, 4 min apart. Dropbox - DJIFlightRecord_2015-12-19_[10-30-36].txt Dropbox - DJIFlightRecord_2015-12-27_[08-41-01].txt

Why would a signal loss result in it plummeting out of the sky? Ive lost signal several times and it just hovers.

I was flying my phantom on vacation. I was 300 feet up about 100 feet out. No big deal but i lost signal instantly. It didn't get weak like it normally does when your too far away. It just cut out. Moved my controller to try to get signal. I hear it buzzing out of the sky and into the water...

My buddy has a Vape. Thats what the "smoke" came from.

Everything works except the camera. The camera powers on and spins like it normally does but then I points way left or right. No Control over up and down and after about 30 seconds it gives up and moves freely. Any advice to fixing it would be greatly appreciated. Anyway to the good part...
