Flying backwards will get you in trouble too. That's pretty amazing that the cam is still working under water! I crashed my Mini 2 in the water one time (it hit a twig and went down into the creek) Submerged in in rice for 5 ays and it worked like new.

I appreciate you demonstrating the underwater capabilities of this magnificent drone :). When do you expect underwater control to be included in the update? Seriously now - I'm subbing, this was educative!

"Hello, is this DJI?", "Yes it is", "Does my care refresh cover me if I hit an animal?", "Sure, what animal did you hit?", "A fish" CLICK.....................

Sorry you crashed. As you found out, taking your focus off your drone for even a second can cost you. Don’t feel too bad, I smashed a $7000 DJI inspire two into the side of a skyscraper. This happened the day I got the drone back from being repaired. 😊I cried for a long time.

I'm surprised the electronics didn't short out as soon as it hit the water. Pretty good on the "water resistant" scale.

Hi as a fellow drone owner (Mavic Air 2S And Mavic 3) and a Part 107 licensed pilot I’m so sorry this happened and hope you were able to get down there and recover it. I feel for you and unlike some of these idiots on here would never make fun of what happened. All the best and again I hope you got it back.

Not cool... We all make mistakes, we need to learn from them. I thought it was a great flight until the end of course. One thing I Don't do is fly sideways near trees. I do when at the ocean, other than that, I better be higher than the tallest object around. I'm not going to beat you down because of a mistake. We all do. Just remember your surroundings for the next time. Take care, and good luck. 👍 👍 👍

I'm surprised the drone still filmed up underwater! Hopefully, you recovered the drone, those pesky trees 🌳

You need to be more careful when flying sideways😢😢

I’m sure all drone operators have experienced a drone crash, live and learn my friend. I hope your next flight is a safe and enjoyable one. 👌

You were getting a great shot, you were in a really good place. The side sensors would make the mini 3 pro a perfect drone! I hope you did the dji care refresh for your mini 3 pro 😅

The underwater scene was great. You better return the amphibious drone to Inspector Gaget when you are done. I heard he's looking for it.

Who ever lost a drone feel the horror of seeing this 🙂🙂

Hey bud, sorry for your loss. That's the worry when flying sideways. I dove my Mavic Mini-1 twice in fresh water. I immediately took it inside and stuck a hair dryer up it's butt for an hour. I then put in a fresh battery and flew like nothing happened. Thanks for sharing!

Incredible how this Mini drone comtinued to record submerged, I guess freshwater? Hopedully you recovered and learnt that flying sideways without having good awareness of the drones surroundings is hazardous⚠️😲 I've added your channel, hopefully you'll connect with another Mini drome pilot?

Would the mini 3 pro have avoided this? I understand that it doesn't have horizontal sensor detection, but would the peripheral version of the sensors have picked up the branches and stopped?

2:00 that is still Amazing picture quality.... 😮

Flying carelessly and not paying attention to the surroundings results in a crash.

Oh wow! 😶‍🌫⛅I wasn't expecting that much footage at the end! did you have to download that from UAS or did you have an SD card in your controller? I've lost at good amount of propellers learning to pilot and running into trees. Speaking of nature, what a beautiful ravine! ☁😶‍🌫☁😶‍🌫✈

that was a really stupid thing to do lol ive subbed you just to see more crashes .thanks for entertaining me

Sorry to see this disaster Joseph. I’ve lost one in the sea and flew sideways into a tree, luckily I recovered the second drone. Did you manage to recover yours from the lake?

Damn, I didn't know my drone can be used underwater...

On similar case scenarios, a Mini 4 PRO will save many drone pilots from a tragic loss like this. Thank you for sharing this as well as for the incredible capability of this tiny peace of advanced technology to survive underwater.

Nice underwater footage

Flying sideways will get you every time, same thing happened to me a couple of months ago but luckily landed upside down in the grass and only broke two props .

so did it get replaced?

Wife and kids coming to see daddy fly but .. drone is gone scuba diving. I hope you got dji refresh package. Also in the near future that you got a new drone , kindly fidget with the settings on the controls .... get a smoother set of settings on the sticks and movement and then your panning or side moves would be smoother and slower depending on the shot you wanna have. Map out your area to fly so at least you may be aware of the possibilities....

Oh no I hope its OK it looked like you were in sports mode with no obstacle avoidance turned on.

Nice underwater shot👍

Incredible it stayed on…I have crashed now twice into a tree and also a waterfall and almost instantly it stops recording once it hits the water

Well, thanks for sharing. That was really something.

Aww, sorry this happened. It’s easy to do. Hope your drone was recoverable. 😢

Sorry to see your drone crash... Did it work after accident?

I had a similar crash and unfortunately had to replace my gimbal which was destroyed 😢 Did you manage to restore the dji from the water? Impressive!!!

Ops Next time you will know 🥺. New Sub and let’s keep on droning safely always Brother, Stay safe out there Cheers 🍻🍻✌️😎

This is why I hesitant to buy any drone without the side sensors, but those who have it is so expensive, meeh

Sorry buddy, that side way flying got you. Thanks for sharing so we are all careful.

From all drone crashes I’ve seen 99 % of crashes are from not paying attention to surroundings and what you can’t see because you didn’t check out first before just getting shots

Did you get it back?

Another crash vid for the Ken Herron best of series. Sorry for the loss bro. Been there, done that myself.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Wonderful location hope you retrieved the drone.

That really sucks! Did you ever recover it?

Ouch. Not sure if you were flying a Mini3 or a Mini3Pro, but the Mini3Pro doesn’t have any side sensors, and of course the Mini3 has none.

Damn brother, hope you got it back.

That Hurts. Sorry you had to experience that. Hoping you got it aback and it's OK.

If you have the REFRESH you can file using the flyaway. You’ll get a replacement within a week. The charge will be a small amount because DJI isn’t getting a drone back I’ve done it a few times before with no problem

I though the new Mini had collision control?? I got the mini 2 was thinking of getting mini 3?

Is that croton on the Hudson? I flew that bridge in the fall.

I get the impression you were flying sideways and there are no sensors on the side. Is this correct? I'm interested because I have ordered a drone and am watching videos on it and trying to learn including by mistakes. Thanks for the video and I'm sorry it crashed.

Makes for a good fish scaler too?

Okay but, are underwater drones a thing?

well damn soo sorry for ur drone u got some great footage tho. u know what i do when im around water i hover and spin around so i see where to fly because that thing is literally over $1k it hurts to just see it under water....

Daaaaaanng ratshit bro, hopefully shes still working, keep practicing, youll get better

huh wow. nice shot until the end

It’s just fresh water, possible to dry out and get it running again, IF you can find it!

Sad, sorry you lost your drone. Forgot the proximity settings... Dohl

Thanks for sharing...thanks for the laugh

The best pilot in the world

So there are some 2 part hyperbolic sprays you guys can probably use to temporarily waterproof your camera internals by taking the drone apart and coating them or dipping the boards in resin and letting them dry lol

Yooo... where's the suspense thriller background music??

I fly Loch Raven, often! Watch out for the f’ing swallows! Oh, and trees, watch out for trees..lol.

This is a great example of why you always have your drone in line of sight at all times, especially if your drone doesn’t have the necessary optical avoidance sensor capabilities to keep it from running into obstacles.

in welchem Land wurde der Film aufgenommen?

Damn bro that sucks. I hope you purchased the extended warranty.

We dont need front obstacle sensor, we need left and right sensor, to be sure

That's drone amfibi 😮😮😮

Never fly sideways no sensors in sideways moves on the Mini 3, fly only forwards or backwards if you want obstacle avoidance

Is Loch Raven Reservoir?

Nice views till😢

oh no! Great location though!

Unfortunately no side sensors 😵‍💫 What about the drone? Greetings 😁

Indeed I am also surprised it still worked under water... I had it a few times with sideway flights, you are focus on the screen and forget about things around you (mostly trees), hope you could recover it.

Sorry for your loss.

Hope it had coverage

Did you get it back Bruh?

Dji mini pro 3 har ikke sensorer på sidene kun fremover bakover og nedover

GPS failed? Because the tall trees blocked the signal?

It's a beautiful place I have some videos flying right there

I’m surprised it kept recording under water. Shit happens and we all make mistakes. Sometimes they are costly mistakes but lessons learned. The point of it all is to have fun with this hobby and be as careful as you can. Mishaps happen so make the most of each moment and make it count.

Im sorry for youre crash man but never fly lower and in circles but ..

Greeting , nice shared, i liked this , i just subscribed to your channel +35 , full support , have a nice days 👍🏼🌳

Ouch!

Go DJI... continued recorded well after being submerged!

😱

yeah got way too close to the tree there lol

side roll no avoidance control

I hate when trees and bushes sneak up on my drone.

Tip: definitely lower your speed by 70% lol.

Your drone crashed because it does not have side sensors. Another reason to go for DJI Mini Pro 4 with sensors on all four sides.

So you kept the drone 2 months that's it ?

coming soon, side and rear sensors on the mini4

I had same drone fail in river. Video is on my youtube channel.

Poor drone. Hope you have your insurance

Remember! There is NO Obstacle Avoidance when traveling Sideways!

You can fly sideways, or you can drop below visual line of sight when headed for obstacles. But you can't fly sideways, drop below line of sight AND be headed for obstacles, and have your drone too. LOL

Really OMG the title must be I crashed my Mini 3😢

Sorry for your drone

Follow all the guidelines required under part 107 at all times

Mate that sucks 😕 There's some real dick comments on here.. this can happen to anyone! I hope you got it back and it's not a write off. The video was looking really good up until the end 😬
