We begin our crash adventure with the kind of drone that's meant to crash, an FPV drone.
This is Randall Hammond flying over water and doing a great job...
Oh... oh no.
No no no no no!
Oh, so what do you do?
Well, you have to take off everything that's gonna possibly get wet and ruin and jump in.
Dirty, yucky pool water, but he got it.
He got it.
And now, Randolph, say something prophetic.
Well, I'm done.
A good FPV pilot knows when to call it quits.
And now a bike chase from Andre Vanta.
I apologize for the pronunciation of some of these names.
Oh, that was close.
All right, okay, well, those trees will jump out in front of you.
Off to the UK now with Ben Engledew, and he's Engledewing okay so far.
Maybe just getting the hang of this drone here.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Ben.
Bill Dow is flying sideways, and Bill Dow is crashing into a tree.
Sorry, Bill Dow.
Bill Morris found a great place to fly FPV.
Wow, what a great location.
Uh-oh.
Oh, no.
Bend it and send it, Bill.
Great view of a sheer rock face with Brian Reynolds here, and he, oh, man.
He would have, okay, now what's going on here?
Didn't crash.
It just broke the camera, and now it's dangling.
Let's fast forward here and see what happens in the end.
Oh, good, he was able to get it back, nice.
And there is the face of a man who clearly is happy and sad at the same time.
Caroline Tyler here is flying fixed wing, and looks like she's going to have to fix
her wing.
Ooh, that's unfortunate, Caroline.
This one's from Christian Cutler, and the kid is clearly trying to tell Christian something.
First word, don't do it.
Okay, here's what you do.
One, two, and then you spin around, and then you go back, you spin again, and then you,
okay, we got it.
And hands up, hands out, and boom, there you go.
Come back, don't fly, don't do what he's saying.
I'm not going to listen to you, kid, I know what I'm doing.
You just stand there and jump in the water or something.
I got this, no problem.
I don't know what he's saying, but I'm going to fly this drone backwards, and then, okay.
Maybe that's what the child was, okay, we're out of the water.
Oh, and we're back in the water.
Should have listened to that kid, maybe.
And here's DMC Productions flying towards a grand structure when, okay, yep.
Those trees, man, they'll get you, they'll get you.
Darby Nethercutt flying a DJI FPV around, yep, fun, really fun, until an obstacle appears.
What is that?
Could it be?
No, it is, oh, a bird.
Don S. here, flying backwards, showing the beautiful little waterfall here, and the shoreline
appears.
Yeah, yeah, at least he didn't go in the water.
Now, here's some car tracking from a name I'm not even going to try to pronounce, but
I followed RC Cars myself, and it's a lot of fun.
So far, so good.
Car speeds up, drone can't keep up, boom, that'll end that race.
Here's a nice rising shot from another name I'm not going to try to wreck.
We're just going up, a nice beautiful shot of the path and the water.
We're going up, we're going up, oh, we're moving over, okay, and that tree's a little
too tall for that, and we're crashing, we're crashing, oh, we're not crashing, oh, now
we're crashing again, oh, we're not crashing again, and, wow, that's a nice recovery.
You know, one of the great things about trees, as G-Man will show us in this video, is that
they stay in one place, and you know where they're going to be, so you can avoid them
pretty easily just by moving out of the way.
So here's a tree here, and you simply crash right into it.
Oh my, G-Man, Grandee Joseph, nice shot of some sand, let's pan up a little bit, see
what we're dealing with, oh, yeah, okay, nice, oh, there, uh-huh, Hitmar Drone, starting
out with a nice lens flare, beautiful, again, flying backwards, so I'm anticipating some
sort of, yes, once again, it's a tree.
As we fly over some water here, I'm hoping I'm pronouncing James Fagart's name correctly,
so this is, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and down we go.
James Wickless here is brave to fly over the water as well, even though he's got a loose
propeller, and the app is trying to tell him that, until the drone itself gives him an
indication that there was a loose prop, and he almost made it home.
Jason Lapointe with a little FPV whoop here, over the nasty pool safely, no problem there,
is it gonna be a tree, no, made it, oh, nope, clipped the tree, and we're falling, oh, no,
we're falling right into the nasty pool.
Jim Black here on a beautiful day, flying sideways, right into one of those trees, man,
those trees, they just seem to hate drones.
Jim Earl here found a wonderful location, look at this, on the mountaintop, just getting
a shot of this tower, way above the trees, so no worries about that, the only thing you
do have to worry about here is another tower.
Joe Blalock found a lovely covered bridge, getting a little half orbit of it, very nice,
beautiful day, thing with half orbits is you end up flying sideways, and if you're not
careful, well, into the water you go, and you get a nice unintentional shot of the fish.
Here's Josh Reed practicing the back and up shot, there we go, flying backwards once again,
can't really see behind you, and when that happens, sometimes, sometimes those trees
will get you, whoa, Joshua Saul, you just hit a building, you're okay, oh, into a tree,
oh, dear, oh, hey, this is me, and these guys wanted to see what my drone could do, so I
showed them, straight up with the FPV quad, I'm showing off a little bit, yeah, right
into that, but luckily, oh, good, it's all right.
Now we have Klaus Schmidt, filming what I assume is his family in the pool, getting
a little bit close, getting all that detail, that's the important thing, you have to get
close to get the detail of what you're filming, you don't want to be up too high, of course,
this may be too low, too low, too much detail, oh, oh, Klaus, here's Peter Fritz flying over
a fisherman, hello, waving, and we're going to go down the river here a little bit, get
some more shots of how the water winds around, and oh, right into the, yeah, right into the
hanging, oh, we're in the water now, and we've landed right side up, that's fortunate,
what is that, oh, no, it's a monster, oh, Mr. Lobster coming over to check us out,
dragging the bush with him, what are you doing, bud, go, go away, get, get out of here with
your creepy face, no, that's, what are you, that's, that's my ear, get, ah, get off of
me, dude, what are you doing, stop it, stop, that tickles, stop it, stop it, oh, not the
nose, another waterfall shot, beautiful, beautiful place, excellent location, just
moving in tighter to get that detail we all love to get, might need a little bit more
practice to keep away from those jumping trees, and they'll jump out at you, those trees,
Matt Cowart here is trying to get a drone selfie as he's filming the building, sideways
here, where's the drone selfie, oh, there it is, oh, right in the face, here's one from
Nia, Nia, anyway, there's a tree, sorry, Nia, Paul Thompson here filming some low passes
with his FPV quad, there it goes by, let's do one more, and a little bit too low, oh,
that's a lot of spinning, this is one of the most beautiful locations sent to us by
Rail Ventures, and the clip ends with some not so beautiful bleep language, what an excellent,
excellent shot, that turns into, oh, yes, indeed, sir, indeed, with a channel named
ROC Failures, you know it's gonna be good, oh, yeah, and we're falling, we're falling,
we're falling, and we're crashing, here's someone with a lot of umlauts in their name,
so I'm just gonna call them Robert, Robert, is he gonna go through that thing,
no, he's gonna turn sideways, okay, sideways flying, now we're in the water,
and we're upside down, I'm guessing Robert went for a swim, since we're seeing this footage,
Ron Jones here trying some bike tracking, the best way to track a bike is to get close to it, but
not too close, another wonderful bridge shot here from Thone71, flying backwards,
showing the whole bridge reveal, absolutely stunningly gorgeous footage here, and of course,
you know, that there's gonna be a tree, yeah, those trees, oh, recovery, recovery, good news,
all right, we fly to film another day, Tony Theos is flying them on the power lines,
get out of there, man, just, just go up, okay, oh, what happened, we're recovering,
everything's good, I think, yes, another recovery, very well done, this is multiple choice from
Whiskey3, will he hit a tree, a tree, or a tree, the answer is tree, okay, and we're just gonna
hang out in the tree, and we're gonna bookend this video with another Randall Hammond video,
let's see if he learned his lesson about flying into bodies of water, there's a tree, oh,
into the water, luckily, there was a security camera shot, so we can see what the drone did,
right into the water there, and here comes Randall, taking off the electronics,
taking off his shoes, getting in that water, how deep is it, oh, good, not that deep,
where is that thing, and 10 minutes later, what does he find, yay, got his drone back,
very good, Randall, well, that's it for volume two, if you would like to be part of volume three,
send your drone crash videos to kenheranupload at gmail.com, put in the subject line,
my drone crash, and I'll include it for volume three, thanks for watching and subscribing,
I really do appreciate it, I will leave you now with my Atlantic City crash from 500 feet,
and bye.
Hey everybody, it's Oscar, hey man, hey, I'm gonna take Oscar for a ride, you ready, not really,
all right.
