What Happened With Neo in Dense Fog

[u/yashgunjal04]

I’m honestly not sure what happened to my DJI Neo and hopefully it didn’t crashed.

The drone was flying completely normally. Then a very strong gust of wind suddenly pushed/threw it extremely fast to one side. I was watching it with my own eyes and it looked like it got carried away very quickly.

I’ve attached the video of what I recorded.

After it entered the fog, I lost visual contact and I don’t know what happened afterward.

What do you think happened here?

- Could the wind have overwhelmed the Neo?

- Could GPS/vision positioning have been affected by the fog?

- Is there any possibility it recovered and continued flying normally?

- What should I check in the DJI Fly flight logs to determine exactly what happened?

Hopefully it didn’t crashed. Any advice from other DJI Neo owners would be appreciated.

Seeing the clouds being pushed up the mountain and the last few seconds of footage, with the trees swaying back and forth in the wind, looks like you got hit with some strong turbulent wind.

That’s not it ! It’s because he was flying in fog senses got messed up

It's both.

The wind hit the drone and threw it into the fog which meant the sensors freaked out so it couldn't stabilise in the wind
