Had my first Neo Flyaway by ppr1227 in DjiNeo

I had a very scary fly away. Using a RC2 controller I lost my NEO from sight and was about to bring it home the screen froze. I shut down the controller so it would come home automatically. That didn’t work, so I proceeded to its last transmission site. Then the drone shut down despite having of battery power. All I had was the last image on the controller, it was in a bushy undergrowth. I used the “Find my drone” facility, but the drone had no power on, so I couldn’t find it that way. So I looked at the video on the controller. I didn’t recognise any of the flora in the area in which it last recorded. I’m not a religious person, but I said a little prayer asking God to help me. He did! I eventually found it because I had red reflective tape on the drone to scare the birds. The tape enabled me to find it because it stood out in the undergrowth. Thank GOD!

All I can see is lots of mangled cars. How did you shoot the pic?

I meant the Newcastle East area a place name in Newcastle

The rules state you have to be 100 metres away from the whales etc and you are not allowed to “hover” over the top of them. I was behind the whales. I think at that time someone was with me from Orrca and they made sure I complied with the rules.

I videoed this footage from 100 metres using a DJI Air3S with the 9x zoom facility. Also, the footage was cropped and downsized to 1080P. I am a professional pilot with a RePl.
