Hi, I had some problems with my FPV a couple of days ago. When turning on my drone on a cliff so I could fly safely over the ocean, I had a IMU calibration notification. I started calibrating IMU and got stuck near 70% (Don't remember the exact number)

After a couple of tries, I got the IMU calibrated, but when I lifted the drone it didnt go up straight, it almost hit me.
As I had very little control over it, I got it a little higher to figure out what was happening and land it safely.
Tried moving into different modes, but even if i moved the sticks fully the drone did not respond. I tried the brake button but it did not work. The after a few seconds the drone went full speed and decided to jump off the cliff crashing out of sight into some trees and in a beach below.

Unfortunately I was not able to find it that evening and when I got back there at 6am the next day the tide had already gone up and by the sand inside the shell, the rusty screws and the stuck motors....I'm pretty sure it swam in the ocean for a while!

When checking the Log I found this:

Any idea what might have happened and why I didn't have any control even in manual mode? I have been thinking if I did something wrong, but still can't figure out what might have been.

And if I go into Find my drone in my goggles I can see the video of the full flight but can't find a way to transfer it to my phone or computer. Is there any way to do that?

Sorry for the long post, and thanks for your help!!!!

Does anyone know how to download the video from "find my drone" or "last footage after signal loss" in the goggles. I can see the footage but wasn't recording to the SD card. Looking for a way to save the footage.

I had the same question and found the answer in a YouTube video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKkCcNLJC0o

The video explains how to access flight logs from the iPhone and view them, but you can also look in other folders and you will find the videos you seek and can then download them to your computer.  Hope this helps even though it's been a number of months.

I crashed my new FPV 5 minutes into my first flight!  The Camera view before loss only plays back 4 seconds of video, a clear image of the sky after crashing, nothing more.  I understand this is supposed to be 30 seconds long, not 4 seconds.  Can anyone help me receive the full 30 seconds of camera view before loss?  Thanks for any help on this costly error.
