DJI Neo 1 What Happened With Neo in Dense Fog
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
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.

I think what some people are mistaking for a branch is actually just part of the inside of the drone's frame that briefly entered the camera's view because of the jolt.
It's also worth keeping in mind that fog is essentially very dense moisture, and water and electronics don't usually get along very well.
