So I was having the drone follow me on my bike and it hit a branch and fell into some grass, maybe 10 feet. I inspected the drone and everything looked fine. Placed the drone on the ground and did the automatic takeoff and it immediately flew up about 50 feet and sideways very quickly. It went about a hundred yards and around a tree over into a marsh as I was trying to land it but it wouldn't respond. I was too surprised to use the emergency off. I tried to locate it with find my drone but was unable to because it is high grass and water.
I am getting a new drone and will try using it to find the lost drone.
Going forward after a crash I will thoroughly inspect and do a manual takeoff to ensure I have control and can immediately shut it down if there is a problem.
