It's final flight. After suffering irreparable heat damage, we take the Mini 3 Pro back to the Icelandic Volcano for its final flight right down into the volcano itself.
I explain why I chose to make this final flight and decommission this brilliant drone.
Sad day...

I'll be honest Ian, you showed the damage and I thought, what's he doing now, still kinda works, oh, no way, he's going to send it back to the heat of certain death ! And I couldn't watch it mate. Not even joking. So I don't actually know what happened after it took off, it was too sad. It reminded me of the one I flew sideways into a tree at 80ft. Anyway, glad you're back in the air. Keep the vids coming. All the best 👍.

@@kaygeebee1962 Many people use cinewhoops in professional capacities rather than as a hobby. Imagine having a drone following a preprogrammed route going around a house a realtor is trying to sell or rent, without having to worry about it bouncing up and down and needing to stabilize the video in post. Or maybe you're filming solo and need footage of yourself from the air but don't want to bother with monitoring what it does while you do your thing. It's a tool and many hobbyists have learned to use it as such. Before filming professionally, guys like Nurk, Ummagawd and Vanover were hobbyists (ok, maybe Nurk and Vanover were more than just hobbyists, but they started there). But not everyone needs a pro flyer and there are a ton of small time professional needs where automation would come in handy. Free your mind.

As a drone pilot myself this brought a tear to my eye, its unfortunate that it was damaged and couldn't go back home with you. But at least its last send-off was a memorable and touching one nonetheless. It was hard for me to watch, as all my fpv drones and Rc cars have gotten me through some tough times, although strange I consider them as friends despite them being machines, they have so much sentimental value to me and memories tied to them that even beyond repair I wouldn't have had the heart to do so myself as you did. Rest in peace little mini, your service will not be forgotten

As I messaged this fella, disposing of a drone like this in lava in Iceland is irresponsible. This could have been turned over for proper recycling, many of the components of which could have a second life, and without the attendant pollution. To read post after post of whining, preening people bleeding their hearts out at this spectacle is utterly ridiculous. This also sends the wrong message to viewers and gives the drone community a bad name. Even the Icelandic authorities could track this fella down and file a complaint for this nonsense.

It's amazing how humans can become emotionally attached to machines and non-living objects. The drone is really just a collection of metal and plastic and yet this man felt some real emotion when it was sent to its' fiery end. I think this is a unique aspect of human behavior.

The rest of us are grateful that there are others who can feel empathy for more than themselves. They have more senses than you do, so they are actually the more evolved people than you are.

They pay me like $100 per game. But I'm really just doing it for fun and practice. I don't know what the going rate would be to film and edit his games highlights. I also filmed one of my friends weddings for them. They gave me $500. I guess wedding photographers are expensive. Again, I was just doing it for the practice. I haven't even tried to make money, but I've definitely gotten my money back, or close to it.

It's so hard to say goodbye when you've formed such a bond with this incredible technology. They do take on a life of their own. My Mavic Mini went up to the top of a mountain in Colorado and got the most beautiful shot of it's life, right before it crashed beyond repair. It was with me for two years before it's final flight. These drones create memories we will never forget. RIP to your Mini 3 Pro and may you continue to create wonderful experiences for yourself and others Ian! Thank you for sharing.

This was surprisingly touching and very well edited. A nice choice of music too. Although I must confess that right towards the end as the little Drone was hovering over the lava and the picture was steadily getting worse and worse as the sensors died one by one, all I could hear in my mind was "IT'S OVER ANAKIN, I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!" 🤣 Thanks for sharing with us.

Return to home. I wonder how many more people wanted press cancel and don’t do it Excellent video, very heartwarming

I always hated it when people would say, or look at the boy with his toy. When I lost my first Air 2s to a bird collision in a hippo and croc infested river on a big job my gut got wrenched in a way I had never felt before. It was then I actually realized just how much I care for it. It was almost like a pet or someone I deeply cared for. I was still in shock for months because I had everything else expect the actual drone. Nearly 2 years later I got it replaced and it felt like I got my friend back but in a different body. When time allows, I hope to go back to that same place and do a memorial flight. Hopefully, no damn birds collide into it. I feel your loss my friend. These drones are very close to us.

Whoah...I don't know why but I could feel the loss as the Mini 3 descended into the lava pit. That was so surreal. I was nearly choked with emotion. I'm not sure why I felt that way about a drone's demise and then I saw the operator's face and knew he was feeling the heaviness from the very same tragic end. I'm sure the musical score had a little to do with it too. Imagine when it comes time for all of us to have androids in our homes...
