To me, it's looks like a legit loss of power mid-flight.

Thanks for taking a look...myself and others thought the same as you.To me, it's looks like a legit loss of power mid-flight.

The most recent rash of incidents here and on the Mavic forum are new pilots going right into Sport Mode out of the box and wondering why OA did not prevent them from hitting a treeSome fly-aways are genuine. But from what I've seen all can be prevented with a decent amount of reading, the spark can be an out of the box flyer, but it isn't as advertised if you want anything remotely safe.
50+ flights that I have record of, a few dozen I haven't taken pictures or recorded during so I haven't recorded them personally. But just a few days ago I had a compass error in a spot I've flown 80% of those flights in before, safely got it back to land, in the grass mind you, but still safely back.
They are not common, but can happen to anyone. But the consistency of them is amplified 10-fold by any forum, you shouldn't be worried, just prepared.
That looks staged to me....Almost sounds like a pre 0600 firmware condition.
The past forums from September mentioned a lot about Sparks just falling out of the sky.
A YouTuber documented it:
I have not seen this with Firmware 0600 and beyond.
Documentation of all the other users with Sparks falling out of the sky confirm it.That looks staged to me....

Hi,
Since we are on the subjectI've had two Sparks flyaway in the space of 6 weeks, I've owned "A" spark for 8 months, no trouble, loved it and now this. DJI replaced the first away, but the unit they supplied arrived faulty, had to return it, they replaced the mainboard and gimbal. I had it back for 24 hours, 2nd flight and whooooshhhhhh! it's gone, just dropped off the radar, so to say. Started the whole DJI support, process. The strange thing is, I already own a Mavic pro, I've had all this trouble and yet i'm not put off by the Spark, even if DJI refuse to supply a replacement, I will most likely go out and buy another Spark ;-) love the Spark.
Did yours decide to go on holiday too?Did you get a log from your phone/ tablet?
Instructions how to get them and log reader:
DJI Flight Log Viewer
I also had troubles from the get go but was not put off.
No homepoint set/ GPS lock even after a 10 minute flight.
Did yours decide to go on holiday too?I think my Sparks don't like me for some reason. Yes i have got a log and I did follow the instructions thank you, it's the most boring log, like nothing happens, the log just stops about 600 meters away, unlike the first fly away, where there were " Yaw" errors all over the place, just before losing connection. After looking at the logs for the 1st fly away back in Jan, it's funny the unit slows down and then speeds away at 20 mph. I've got my fingers crossed DJI will replace the unit and fast. I hate being without the Spark.
Cool, I can fly manual, the issue was, the remote LED turned red, so i could have guided it back, if the remote was connected and if line of site was a tad bit clearer(cough, cough)! lol.
Let me share the log with, for the fun of it.
This is the first fly away in Jan.

Please let me know if you notice anything of interest.
Cheers
I didn't think of the " lost link message" your right that would help. :-( that said, how would you imagine DJI could explain where the aircraft end it's journey? these are the only logs I've looked at, thanks to you guys with link and all. But I would expect a regular log where the air craft returns and lands and all that good stuff, would be recorded?
Thanks for setting this up. Thumbs up to whoever set it up.
