Is there a Mission Planner app for my tablet?

No, Mission Planner is for Windows only.
APM Planner 2 is for Windows, OS X, and Linux.
QGroundControl runs on Windows, OS X, Linux, Android and iOS (maybe).
Tower and Solex for Android.
I'm sure I left off a couple that support ArduPilot...

I think this is the correct log for the crash.

So the issue occurred a foot off the ground?

fast7 · Mar 21, 2018

9 or 10 feet off the ground.

Ok. When you get a chance send tlog #4 (the one right after the crash). I'm interested to see the gap in the logs.

Hi Dave, Here it is.

Thanks

fast7 · Mar 22, 2018

After looking @ these, I think its the one or two of the censers in the pixhawk. The first t log shows an inaccurate altitude and the second when I went to check the gimbal shows that it was @ a sharp yaw when it was setting flat on the table. These are my thoughts, please correct me if I am wrong and thank you so much for all your help.

I'll have a look at the log. What do you mean by " Sharp Yaw".

fast7 · Mar 22, 2018

Tipped extremely to one side if I read the log correct. But I am new to this and may not be correct.

fast7 · Mar 22, 2018

That last t log was 4 # 6 would be right after the crash. So here it is. Thanks

My question is, if you take off and the solo doesn't sense it will it shut the motors down.

Well IMHO it would be very very rare, but yes it is possible. Lots and lots of code around that to make sure it disarms only when on the ground and stationary.
Another way your quad could fall out of the air:
Brake Mode — Copter documentation

But I don't see any evidence in the logs so far. I'm still thinking a brownout. The last CTUN line:
CTUN 290847674 0.2638579 0.0002008677 0.2489934 0.6797656 4.101559 3.39126 4.93

Your Solo thinks it was 3.39126 meters in the air...which would jive with what you were saying about 10 feet in the air. And because the log just ends...

Would a brown out shut down the camera or not?

I'm not sure. It does have a cable going to it and can shutoff power under normal circumstances so it's possible.
The result of power problems are so unpredictable as you already know.

Thanks for the tlogs. Were you thinking about putting out the video too?

It's been a while since I visited your area, I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB for a few years. Nice area you live in.

fast7 · Mar 23, 2018

Here is the video. Thanks again.

Security Check Required

Do you have a .bin log. For some reason the tlogs aren't in the right format for it or I'm making a mistake

fast7 · Mar 23, 2018

Just delete the .txt this is the only way I know how to post the logs.

Thanks, Kyle

Yes we love it,Thanks

I feel pretty stupid in that I don't know how to delete the .txt. I had a similar problem with the first two flights on my green cube. I'm very curious about the amount of time that passed from when you first armed and then the sudden potential disarm happened.
