On Saturday, i lost my Phantom 1 with Zenmuse and GoPro Hero 3 while flying my 1. st time FPV with Fat Shark goggles.
I was alone. I went into a park, wanted to fly low and learn the basic.
The wind drifted it away. I put on my goggles and i was in awe to see footage for the first time while flying FPV.
When i took off my goggles i couldn't see my phantom. I panic, trying to get it back home. Everything looks the same from on top.
I try to get my orientation back. Get it back down. The phantom was basically flying itself. I still couldn't see it and there was just 3 min battery life left. I cut off the remote to have it back back SAFE HOME. I waited, it didn't return back home. I put back on the goggles and saw that my phantom was flying towards a basket ball rim. Then it when black.
Any ideas what may have happen up there?
