Had my first Neo Fly Away everything was going great smooth video above the houses and wires. Then lost GPS which caused a tumble still high. "Unable to return to home". High winds, even though they were not. Flipped a few times in an Arc at 20m out of control. Then went down. Of course I have the flight log. Thoughts?

Hi, better to post flightlog from the flight.

Easier to diagnose a possible problem from the log.

You will get information as to where to find your flightlog in the link below.

https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/

Then share the link to the uploaded log here on the Forum.

Thanks for your link above. Back in the day we used iTunes to find the log files. Now I can view the flight in the Fly App. How can I get this file without iTunes?

The NEO is not a highly precise drone.  YMMV in other words.  I have these often.  The shadow of a tree can make it dart off course.  (it uses it's camera for positioning, which is good in great light, but not always.)  It doesn't keep contact with GPS very well from what I see.  DJI has some work to do IMHO.

(this is the mentioned instruction from the mentioned site above.)
For mobile devices, connect your mobile device to a computer via a USB cable and go to:

** DJI Fly
a) DJI\dji.go.v5\FlightRecord (for older versions of DJI Fly)
b) DJI\dji.go.v5\files\FlightRecord (for iOS devices)
c) Android\data\dji.go.v5\files\FlightRecord (for Android devices)



EDIT: Turns out the (android\data\)dji.go.v5\ folder is very valuable and holds a ton of interesting files. did not know until know - i was looking on drone and rc insteads. thanks)

Hi there,
thank you for reaching out.

We apologize for the inconvenience. If you find or retrieve your drone, it is recommended that you submit an Online Repair Request and send your aircraft back for diagnosis to avoid unnecessary danger in the next flight. If your aircraft cannot be found back, then submit a flyaway case.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
