[QUOTE="joexn, post: 89444, member: 17299"] Quick update all, after the third day of searching it looks like the drone is gone. The private allotments came up empty and a decent search around surrounding woodland turned up empty. After asking many people, getting the story in a local newspaper and shared across social media the search has come up empty. It absolutely poured last night so if the drone was somewhere in the wild, it's most surely dead now. I've contacted DJI and they're looking into it. I am devastated that it's only a week old and the compass and GPS failed in a large open field area with little to no interference. The wind wasn't that strong really so I was hoping it wouldn't be too far away. Even though the drone had 5-5:30m flight time left in it, it never attempted to return home. I hope that DJI will hopefully replace the drone or at least give me a discount on a new one due to the complete unexpected failure or several major components. My boss was unavailable to bring his drone out today to help search the area due to weather. I'm hoping to buy a Mavic 2 zoom. I am not entirely too focused on the camera on the drone as it's more of a hobby than a profession of mine. I will take the Mavic on the same course and see if I can hunt it down. I hope it'll be possible to recover the drone but this is the end of the thread it seems. Thanks to everyone's help and on the off chance I recover the drone I'll be sure to let you all know.
