Dji Mini 3 - Lost drone mid mission

Hi,

While flying a planned mission, something happened that caused it to start beeping, land on its own, and then lose connection.  We have tried to look for it around the last location based on the flight details uploaded to MME, but to no avail.

I've searched the support centre and did check to see if it returned to home or continued its mission and have looked in those areas too and still couldn't find it.

Is there anything else I can try to find the last known location of the drone?

Tried the DJI app find my drone function, but only had the last location when flying the drone with the DJI app, not when using MPP.

We are sorry to hear you had an incident. The beeping usually means that something happened on-board that necessitated immediate landing. This is usually a battery issue that could either be poor battery calibration or an error. 

It seems like it lost connection first and then try to land because there is no descent data in the log. There is nothing in the log file that shows the descent which is usually what we see in this case. It was sending telemetry successfully right up to the last image dot you see in the Flight Detail. 

The aircraft was set to return home in the case of an issue but when that beeping happens it is usually something more emergent. The battery was a little hot but it would usually complain first before having something like this happen. 

My guess it that it would be somewhere around the end of the blue line. 

There is also nothing in the error messages that gave any indication of what was going on. 

Sorry, but that is really all we can tell from the log file. Good luck in your search. If you find it DJI might be able to get more information out of it.

Hi Zane,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I'll have another go looking around that area again.
