Good morning! Last week I was using my neo on my electric bike on follow going around 10-15 mph and it was working fine following me for some time. But in the middle it suddenly stopped recording flipped over and shut off. The neo was at about 40% there was no wind and it was flying too low for any birds to hit it. Any idea why this happened?

I crashed my Neo today for the 1st time. The left joystick stopped working. The drone was in manual mode and descending. When I realized, that something went wrong, it was too late, I couldn´t lift up the drone and it crashed into the ground. Nothing happened really, it got a bit dusty. Turned it off and on again. When I got back to my car I made another try, hovered the drone and let´s see... It didn´t work the 2nd time. Went home did a FW refresh on the FPV3 RC, updated the goggles, performed a compass + IMU + gimbal calibration and refreshed the FW on the drone too. Now, it seems to be O.K. IMO the FPV controller is a junk as it is. Very bad, that no Radiomaster or Jumper RCs can be used to DJI drones...

Video/logs would be interesting, would expect that most likely it did work fine, just you put yourself in a situation e.g. VRS where you didn't have enough power to escape. Pretty common mistake.
