My drone crashed into the Pacific ocean, and I tried for 2 days to find and recover it from the ocean floor. After reviewing the DVR, it looks like it lost power right before it hit the water. I was having problems with the battery connector before but I thought I had fixed it. I guess not - it was a big fail :( It was quite the recovery effort, but in the end the salt water won!
