Avoid Flying Over Waters - DJI Neo

[@Superduo_]

Amazing video, great save!! I panicked when it started acting erratic

[@jitechtv89]

Yes it was really close, during that time I was thinking that it will fall to the water.

[@ElmoChan43]

Any drone with downward sensors will have problems over water but it's usually when it's only a few feet above the water. Not when it's over a 100 feet in the air. Judging the the sudden jolts, it looks more like your neo go hit with a sudden small pocket of wind. Just because it's calm at the ground doesn't mean wind isn't swirling in the air above you.

[@WelshLad52]

I flew my Neo with the RC2 controller 10 feet over a lake without no problems.

[@Sterreeler]

Good save, sir! I experienced the same thing. It went wild right after it took off, and mind you, it wasn’t over the water-it was just by the beach. It drifted sideways so fast, and I couldn’t control it.

[@gliderrider]

That would be heartbreaking to lose. Glad you pulled it out of danger.

[@jitechtv89]

@@gliderrider yeah I have it for like a month now, and It would be depressing losing it too early, the good thing is I have practiced to cheaper drones before and kind of like build a muscle memory controlling in times of unfurtunate mishaps.

[@iansilva1362]

Never have problem too flying over the water

[@dokironwander]

nice one bro tnx for the info.

[@StrillLife]

I had some issues over water too. No bueno.

[@jamesgeorge2852]

Man that was a great save I would have had to land mine and let my heart rate calm down lol and I also think it may have been air turbulence or a thermal causing trouble especially over water that's why they also say don't fly over the top of cliffs the face of the cliff can cause very turbulent air that you have no way of seeing its happened to me with my original mavic air as well as my mini 2 in both scenarios water and off a cliff face both times I saved the drone but I don't mine saying it scared the hell out of me

[@OnlineLuc]

I had a very similar experience. But mine DID go in the water. DJI scanned my logs and warrantied it and said "there was a flight control issue, not pilot's error". So I have no idea what to think. But it definitely feels like the water is the cause.

[@JoJo-n8f]

I have dji neo but never incounter any issue in under water but you update the neo into the latest firmware so that issue will fixed

Ad Cork what fisherman use on keys etc that way if ends up in water it float worth a shot

@jitechtv89 they can carry goprpo style cameras fairly easy so will have no problem with Cork it's very light put some on top drone but make it an aerodynamic shape 😉

[@NoelWelaFamily]

Neo was never designed to fly over strong winds in the sea or not. Its not bcoz of the sensors or the weight, but bcoz of its small engines. It can't stabilize itself on strong winds, especially on high altitudes.

[@jitechtv89]

here is what actually happened kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnzanneki9mdbbM

[@NoelWelaFamily]

@@jitechtv89 as i said, neo was never designed for strong winds. and higher altitude has stronger winds, making it unstable. also, wind below is not the same up there.

[@riverbankfisher]

While it is true that a DJI drone whose anti-collision sensors have not been recently calibrated can cause the drone to stop unexpectedly, I doubt very much that the drone would wobble and nearly go out of control as your Neo drone did in this footage. If you have not recently calibrated the compass, IMU, and camera gimbal, it would be a good idea to carry out those calibrations right away. Failure to calibrate a DJI drone can result in all manner of abnormal flight behavior, so it is wise to eliminate sensor calibration as a possible cause of problems as a first step.

[@jitechtv89]

@@riverbankfisher yes I did, recalibrate it right after the that flight and also review the flight logs and it indeed the sudden gusts of wind making it unstable and being suck into the sea this drone at 135g is extremely susceptible even to a very lightest gusts and breeze of wind while airborne.

[@hiacegrandia9995]

Is it okay to block the bottom sensors with tape to disable its sensors?

[@jitechtv89]

@@hiacegrandia9995 not recommended as it is required for DJI vision positioning system, what happened to my neo is that it loses enough GPS satellites while airborne making it drift and enter to attitude mode. And upon reviewing my flight logs it was swift by a sudden gusts of wind produce by the waves from the bay I guess, but DJI also suggests to avoid flying over waters or mirror like surfaces as it disturbs vision positioning system of DJI drones.
