I use my drone for fly fishing quite a bit. I haven't flown it since I switched to an Android from an iPhone. The apps are pretty similar so I figured it'd be a non issue.

Launched the DJI SPark and off we went. Flight went well for about 15 minutes and then the battery was getting close to dying which alerted me on the phone. While flying we were moving down river in a raft so I wasn't at the original RETURN TO HOME location where the flight started. We were probably a quarter mile away. The drone indicated battery was low and it was was going to return to home. No big deal, just hit the big red X to cancel and manually bring the drone in. Nope....wouldn't cancel so off went my DJI Spark into the wilderness.

I watched on the display as it took off at full speed and headed straight into a giant white pine about 100 feet off the ground. That was the end of my visual...didn't know where it ended up.

I launched the the DJI App on my phone and used FIND MY DRONE to determine it's last known location. Using cell\gps on my phone the map showed me as a blue dot and an arrow where the Spark went down. As we got closer I lost cell. Thinking outside the box a buddy had a different phone carrier and had connectivity. He setup a hotspot, I connected to his phone and then reappeared back on the map. This wasn't going to be an easy search, alot of snow and a white drone.

We looked for 30 minutes with no luck and were doing one last pass to try and find it. As we were just about to leave my buddy found it sitting next to the bank of the river. Watching the replay of the video it seems impossible it didn't end up in the river.
