When Things Don't Go As Planned -- Drone Flight #2

in onelovedtube •  6 years ago  (edited)


It was one of those days, You know the kind. It's like you wake up and get out of bed and it just starts off bad and continues through the whole day. We all have them, they pass, and a new day is upon us before we know it. Drone flight #3 coming soon.

Shit man... panic stations. Glad it ended up ok in the end. Between the gopro and drone that's a hefty bit of change to replace them.

Calm.... breath... no crash ;-) Good work keeping it together m8!

haha, it was quite an annoying circumstance to say the least. It was a pain in the ass to find a spot to launch it from to begin with, they are not drone friendly in so-cal and they would give me a lot of crap potentially. But the drone slammed down pretty hard and bounced back up just out of reach but i managed to grab it. So strange the camera fell off before anything really happened, timing is everything they say. Everything seems fine but It did make me pretty nervous! I figured I would break this thing on the first flight so I am doing pretty good and glad the camera didn't come off at 300 ft the other day, over concrete!

'small mercies' 'silver linings'.... And a load of other proverbs. Ha ha, in all seriousness though, I was looking at prices of drones last year when crypto was mooning, just as a fantasy exercise really 😉, and they're not cheap. Good move doing some Kung Fu snatching to save that bad boy.

I decided to buy a pre-owned older model, got a really good deal I think-- I was not about to buy a brand new one to practice on, save that for the next moon! I think I am going to have a black belt by the time I have this one mastered!

Yeah, that had to suck! "Mayday, mayday, we're going down!"

totally, I was not a happy camper, everything was standing in my way of getting the shots I wanted and than this happened

В этом году ноябрь плохой месяц. И наверное для всех.
Сын попал в аварию и разбил свою крутую Фольцфаген В6.
А у свекра жена умерла.
И как мне жить???

:( very sorry to hear this, my condolences and wishes for your son to be well ... this life is difficult

Well it surely would have been a tough time for you to recover from the scene you saw...

Hope Everythin's Alright...

Keepin My eyes on your next Drone FLight #3

Cheers!

It took about an hour, driving home in traffic, and getting home to test everything. I knew the camera was ok but really was concerned about the drone the whole drive home. After a check and test, it all worked fine and I felt much better. I have a used gopro hero 3 on the way that was not expensive and fits in the gymbal that I took off to stick my brand new Gopro hero 5 onto the body with, that came unstuck, it doesn't fit in the gymbal, but I think I will wait till the used gopro arrives. Drone Flight #3 comings too, it's a mystery what the story will be yet, but we shall see!
thanks for watching

Yes.it always happen to everybody or should i say it is general to everyone

Nice editing job, you're really getting good at this. Me and the better half got a kick out of the video, next time maybe test the drone before driving to a location.

Thank man. I did test it but we went to immigration offices where I registered it while waiting and learned about the regulations and was nervous with the launch ... still learning my pre flight tests and realize where I failed ... glad you guys liked it :) thanks for watching
