As a fisherman I know it is always a bad idea to tie knots in the midline When potentially catching monsters it will snap at knot. Instead attach a large snap swivel to your leader line barrel swivel and slide your hanger hook through swivel loop. It will also improve how easy it falls off when you spin 180 deg
That is an ingenious idea I had not yet considered for my Phantom 3, and your attitude is the best about losing it; it's just plastic, it isn't eternal. Thanks!
5 years later….. I’m still watching this wondering how in the hell you were so casual about loosing that bad boy. I would have been beyond upset, mad props my man. Great video.
I know I am a few years late commenting !! But its possible that he made 6 flights on same battery without changing. On 7th flight maybe battery data showed too low and it auto landed. Its a common reported error - where people try to make another flight on a used battery. They take-off and then find the drone lands out ... even cases where it falls out of sky.
Great idea. My guess is that the line had time to settle a bit, and when you started going again there was too much drag on the line. The drone was unable to lift against the drag, pulling it down as it went forward. Had you reversed before it hit the water, you could have recovered if my theory is correct, since you would have reduced the drag. There are other reasons, like a mechanical issue, or controlled flight into the water because you were distracted while looking at the monitor, but my bet is too much drag.
The drone doesn’t receive the gps signal, the phone or tablet connected to the drone controller does. GPS signals come from satellites in the sky above the controller and radio waves that hit water die very quickly. Many GPS receivers also screen out signals that come in at lower angles because the signal distorts coming thru the atmosphere; it’s called a curtain. The height of the drone over water has no impact on the GPS signal- otherwise there would be no point to nautical GPS units which are actually quite common.
Think of it this way: if the water was causing problems with the GPS signal it would also be causing problems with the signal from the controller, and there doesn’t appear to be any issues there. I think you’re thinking about refraction of a signal (different from reflection) which is distortion of a signal transmitted over water; which is not quite the same thing as a signal transmitted down from earth orbit. Your height statement about height would be correct for refraction issues.
Dude we tie a paracord with a Chip clip to hold our line above the jig. When you want to stop you just close the bail and theres enough tension to drop your bait/lure.
Can't put metal objects on or near the landing gear, compass sensor is located down there. Metal objects and compass magnets don't mix. Even if you had the few successful flights, this still could have been the cause. Get one of those cheap camera guard cross members and attach a plastic pen body or something like that to it so you can hold the loop in the fishing line. Or just do the rubber band thing like some other comment was saying.
Makes sense. Mine did something similar but I was using wooden dowels. It got about 10' from the water and luckily started to go back up. I wonder if the water has anything to do with it as well. I remember reading something about if you're going to fly over water you need to change some settings. I never messed with it though.
Seems like I heard something about that too but I fly over water ALL the time (check out my channel) and it does great.. Only thing I do is calibrate the compass from time to time and make sure I've got good GPS signal before launch. I know the main setting to check would be signal loss action.. make sure that's on RTH and not land or hover in case it losses signal over the water.
When did they start making hangers out of copper??! Pretty sure that's just a coating on the hanger to prevent it from rusting and ruining clothing. Yep, just tested it with a magnetic mechanic's tray. Hangers like this are ferrous.
My guess is the rig is disproportionally loading weight to rear 2 - its on the back of legs instead of in the middle. That plus six runs with high wind could have been the culprit. When the drone starts to decent at the end you'll notice the front doesn't tip down, suggesting it could have been something with the rear motors (overloaded). Anyway, I've been hitting the beach every weekend here and it's been some time since I've flown mine. Gonna give it a go and I'll come back and let you know how it went, lol. My brothers been hooking into 6ft+ sharks every weekend in New Smyrna, Kinda scary, should be a blast!
I had the same thing happen to my Mini 2. I was over the beach, videoing the sunset, when my drone went rogue and did a power dive into the Gulf. Never recovered it, though DJI sent me a new one after reviewing my flight logs and video.
Great way to leave the lure at the bottom of the sea, I have a mavic platinum drone and I will try to do the same very good idea thanks for sharing, greetings from Perú
everyone commenting trying to find the reason. it's simple physics. the line he was dragging ended up sagging into the water and the water created resistance which made it heavy and when the drone could no longer pull the line, it pulled it down. you should have been at least 10m and watched for when your line was touching water and stop before it did.
A couple of sprung loaded balls are a better release system ,because if the line tangles or you reach your destination .then you simply stop the line from going out and it releases.the mechanical release systems can drag a drone into the ocean if you overspool your reel.
That sucks! Seems like one of 2 things happened: A) that's a Penn pursuit feel. I have pursuit 2 and it does not hold anywhere close to 1200 ft of line lmao Maybe you get 1200 ft of signal. Drone flies out...at this point you check line on camera. Looks good. Watching camera, you don't pay attention to fishing pole line spool. Ran out of line. Lines hooked to drone, drone can't fly forward anymore, hits water. Drone flies out...at this point you check line on camera. Looks good. Watching camera, you don't pay attention to fishing pole line spool. Spool line got snagged or tangled. Lines hooked to drone, drone can't fly forward anymore, hits water.

This posting is maybe 5 years old. I just lost my drone over the water deploying bait. 6th cast of the day ( last 5 yielded big snappers ) at 150m it kept yawing to the left then wobbled and went swimming. I feel your pain Bro
maybe because you were flying low altitude, when you stopped, the line touched the water, and the surface drag was then too much for the drone to overcome. I think if you went with a much higher altitude you would be fine.
@@andrewjamez I have 3 of the DJI drones that are all still functional, I have a DJi FC-40 with the original wifi camera, a Phantom 3 advanced, and a Mavic Pro, all functional and in mint condition. The first time I flew the FC-40 I crashed it in the middle of a lake and had to snorkel to find it, freshwater so it dried out and still flies today! it sent photos till the battery ran down on the GoPro camera I had attached to it. lights blinking, minnows swimming by and all.
I have done this many of time and almost lost my drone. If you run the drone below 60% battery the phantom 3 will get a battery voltage error and tries to land wherever its at. The battery does not have enough voltage to handle the extra weight. Running it 65%+ battery never had an issue.
Battery was fine. But I was running 10oz of extra weight plus a full size mullet. This requires each cell in the battery to have a higher voltage. Go below the needed voltage in each cell and the drone goes into a fail safe mode. I turned the drone on/off after retrieving and it ran fine with just the drone itself and low battery.
Fair enough. For those purposes I'd be using a drone designed to carry a more substantial weight, and I'd be using a hexacopter or an octacopter to guard against one of the motors failing.
Her mistake was to open the spool and let too much thread out. The spool should be closed. You should just let the brake go a little bit for the drone to take the bait with the line stretched out without touching the water! The excess thread that came out of the spool fell into the water, weighed and sank the drone. Sorry for my English mistakes.
That is really heartbreaking that you lost your drone. I did some drone fishing and filming myself and then put on a show for a passing ferry and my drone just took off over the ocean like a bad dog running down the street. The wind got carried away but just as it got low and close to the water it finally responded and came back to the beach with just enough battery life--I was certain it was gone and said my goodbyess. Every time I fly my drone over water I know it is taking a risk but it is still worth it. I hope you get another quadcopter soon.
I'm glad that you got yours back. New body is on its way. Flying over water doesn't really scare me, but I will be more careful while dragging a line through the water next time :)
Use radio controlled fishing torpedo like this. Its more safe. It covers 1km in 12 minutes. It cans take 2mm fishing line with 50 bated hooks. So it has 55 lb trust.
ArtisanTony Yep and when you drag it back guaranteed fact it will be destroyed it's not water resistant and with ocean water forget about it it's good as dead
if you find it after 2 hours or less, you just have to open it, remove battery, wash it clean, let it dry, and then check what's wrong. i could repair it ^^
I think when you stopped moving away the line settled on the water. The drag doesn't seem like it would be that significant but if it were out there several hundred yards it could be. When you tried to fly away again the drone just pivoted forward and lost altitude... that's my theory anyway.
I'm sorry you lost your drone, it's something that can happen to anyone even taking pictures. Here in Spain, I am from Cadiz, I have seen almost €1000 fishing rods break when casting, because they hit the stones. Everything has a risk, the luck is that it can be fixed with some money 😁
My guess is the line in the water got caught on something briefly(big fish, sea lion,etc) so when you move forward it couldn't pull whatever it was caught on and took your drone down.
No shark or fish, One of your previous person's ideas of why a crash is correct, the line ran out on the spool, so with the drone still going forward, the line forced it to the water
i lost my phantom 4 over the sea the other day. i dived and recovered the drone but they say its not repairable. I think mine got confused with the moving water and it descended into the water.
@@scangling64 2m but having recieved my controls when it went swimming it was my fault 🤐 but I have also flown my mavic into my rigging in strong winds and lost that one.. now I fly more cautiously with my mavic pro zoom and only in light winds the mavic mini
It's called running out of battery. If it lost contact it would have returned to home. If you thought that you'd just get one more flight out of a low battery, this is what happens. It didn't have enough power left to do a RTH so the next auto procedure is to land where it is, which it did.
only problem with that theory is if it auto landed it would be going straight down and not at an angle. I think it ran out of battery or voltage issues if the lure went into the water but in my opinion it didnt go into a RTH or auto landing.
Fishing line must have touched the water when the drone stopped. Then on continuation with the droves path out to sea, the lines friction was to strong to over come the drones power to hold altitude.
You need to freeze your bait or lure in ice and fire it from a potato gun. = as effective, 1/20 as expensive. I get what you're doing and I'd totally do it if I were a CEO or a lottery winner because it's a baller-ass means of putting your bait on the fish, but it's just a bit too rich for my blood.
@@gpipeslocal1414 That works perfectly whenever you're trying to catch the fish that normal fisherman catch. We all have our days... There have been abnormal fisherman since it became a thing.
I will never understand why people feel like they have to put that noise on they call music and then try to talk over it. you are already hard enough to understand.
When you stopped to check the line right before you crashed, the line had time to drop now that there wasn't constant pressure on it being pulled. You then went forward at just the same time as the strongest force of the line resting down was happening and the two forces (super long line falling down at rest or even a wave/water pulling back on the line, and the force of you going forward with the drone), the two forces equaled out by heading your drone downwards into the water. BTW I thought those things were supposed to float? I'd never send my drone farther than I'd be willing to go retrieve it myself.
"despite my +1000$ drone loss, i got to see the cool sun set on my drive home" If everyone in the world was like you man a lot of things would be different.
Two months ? you mean two years and still counting ,I lost my CX 20 about four years ago and still trying to get over it .Drones are expensive , I bought a Mavic Pro Platinum fly more combo ,so a four hundred dollar bird ,made me buy a twelve hundred dollar one ,the CX20 is a similar drone to the Phantom 2 or three .
+Chronical adventures yes..? but that has nothing to do with this video or what I'm talking about. It could have a mechanical malfunction or you could fly into a object you didn't notice and in the water it goes... Bottom line is, if you can't retrieve it from the area your flying over be prepared to buy a new one. I hope he really enjoyed that sunset lol
+sigh!z There are waterproof drones, so I'd probably just use it again.. I would at least get it back to salvage any parts, lithium battery, gimbal and props would still be useable. At the very least I would save the lithium battery from leaking and polluting the ocean.
The battery is also the on/off switch, wouldnt use that again, if it gets wet. I dont think the gimbal would function right either. Atleast you saved yourself 20$ props :D
That sucks! I wonder if using a second pole to let's say tie a knot around the backside of it as a safety precaution would do any good? I mean atleast you could reel it in if it failed.
My first DJI drone was a Phantom 3 Standard I bought used on Amazon for $340. I started out with the Syma 5X and the 8X. The 8X was the bigger one like the Phantom. I lost it in a creek when a malfunction caused to lose control over water. So, no more flying over water.
We fish every day with same way by phantom 4 we never lost it, the secret is that we curve the holder to up and we send the phantom backward, and we increase the altitude, so the drone can withdraw the line from the reel, but if line got stuck for any reason, it releases by itself without causing drone fall. I hope I explained it clearly because i am not English native speaker. If you want pictures or videos for clarification, please contact me Good luck
Thank you for your great idea. You explained it very well and I can see how your way makes sense. Unfortunately, I didn’t give much thought at the time about it.
maybe the line is pulling the drone too hard towards the sea and the drone cant compensate. but dude your release system is awesome simple and working. two thumbs UP for that.!!!

It's called running out of battery. If it lost contact it would have returned to home. If you thought that you'd just get one more flight out of a low battery, this is what happens. It didn't have enough power left to do a RTH so the next auto procedure is to land where it is, which it did.
only problem with that theory is if it auto landed it would be going straight down and not at an angle. I think it ran out of battery or voltage issues if the lure went into the water but in my opinion it didnt go into a RTH or auto landing.
Fishing line must have touched the water when the drone stopped. Then on continuation with the droves path out to sea, the lines friction was to strong to over come the drones power to hold altitude.
cool that he wasn't too upset. I mean, if one would be that worried about that happening, then they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
You need to freeze your bait or lure in ice and fire it from a potato gun. = as effective, 1/20 as expensive. I get what you're doing and I'd totally do it if I were a CEO or a lottery winner because it's a baller-ass means of putting your bait on the fish, but it's just a bit too rich for my blood.
Why don't you just cast your bait like normal fisherman do ??? that way you risk only losing some bait once in a while.
@@gpipeslocal1414 That works perfectly whenever you're trying to catch the fish that normal fisherman catch. We all have our days... There have been abnormal fisherman since it became a thing.
@@Jafromobile... are you a super fisherman 🤣
Takes all the fun out of it might as well but a boat
@@gpipeslocal1414 I can tell you never fished before
Классная идея!!!
Good idea!!! 👍👍👍
I will never understand why people feel like they have to put that noise on they call music and then try to talk over it. you are already hard enough to understand.
Absolutely right
Yep, too much "music" interference but I did enjoy the vid. Sorry bout the lost drone . :(
Especially if it's shit music!
Its the boon culture. Its not music!
Oh my
Nice drone..and i like drone dji phantom..and my hoby fishing...👍👍👍
Music is distracting too, especially trying to hear what your saying, tone it down.
You tone it down.
That sunset would've looked AMAZING from a drone's POV.
For a sand crab.
Nice one.
When you stopped to check the line right before you crashed, the line had time to drop now that there wasn't constant pressure on it being pulled. You then went forward at just the same time as the strongest force of the line resting down was happening and the two forces (super long line falling down at rest or even a wave/water pulling back on the line, and the force of you going forward with the drone), the two forces equaled out by heading your drone downwards into the water.
BTW I thought those things were supposed to float? I'd never send my drone farther than I'd be willing to go retrieve it myself.
They dont float.
This exact scenario happened to my P3 Pro when battery went below 50%. Auto landed in the Pacific Ocean. A tough lesson learned.
"despite my +1000$ drone loss, i got to see the cool sun set on my drive home"
If everyone in the world was like you man a lot of things would be different.
Wow wow nice
I thought the drone was gonna fly over his car or in the fire red sky 😂😂😂
He stays so calm. I remember how pissed off I was when I lost my drone in the woods. It was in the top of a tree to tall to climb.
That's why they make chainsaws.
No Drone + No Fish = owned.
Lifehack :just tie the 2 line to the dron. If it drops you pull it back out. With love from russia.
I can't even start to think of how I would feel when that happens to me. I would be miserable for two months.
Two months ? you mean two years and still counting ,I lost my CX 20 about four years ago and still trying to get over it .Drones are expensive , I bought a Mavic Pro Platinum fly more combo ,so a four hundred dollar bird ,made me buy a twelve hundred dollar one ,the CX20 is a similar drone to the Phantom 2 or three .
Back to the drone store.... it's that coat hangar I'm going to miss the most
I never understood why somebody would fly a drone over water without having some sort of boat or dingy to go get it?
If your drone unconnects from the controller it flys back to where it took off.
+Chronical adventures yes..? but that has nothing to do with this video or what I'm talking about. It could have a mechanical malfunction or you could fly into a object you didn't notice and in the water it goes... Bottom line is, if you can't retrieve it from the area your flying over be prepared to buy a new one. I hope he really enjoyed that sunset lol
+Danny M and what would you do with the drone if you get it back?
+sigh!z There are waterproof drones, so I'd probably just use it again..
I would at least get it back to salvage any parts, lithium battery, gimbal and props would still be useable. At the very least I would save the lithium battery from leaking and polluting the ocean.
The battery is also the on/off switch, wouldnt use that again, if it gets wet. I dont think the gimbal would function right either. Atleast you saved yourself 20$ props :D
That sucks! I wonder if using a second pole to let's say tie a knot around the backside of it as a safety precaution would do any good? I mean atleast you could reel it in if it failed.
Double the line drag
Metal hanger + compass that needs no interference = WHAT COULD GO WRONG
Drone Footage true that's probably why it crashed
My first DJI drone was a Phantom 3 Standard I bought used on Amazon for $340. I started out with the Syma 5X and the 8X. The 8X was the bigger one like the Phantom. I lost it in a creek when a malfunction caused to lose control over water. So, no more flying over water.
We gunna need a bigger drone.... OH COME ON some one was gunna say it
bazz mc fury l
That fire red sky would not have been sufficient to make me feel better after that...lol
Maybe next time, tie a line to the drone just in case.
Correct 😀😀
Sorry about your loss, that’s a terrible feeling.
So just caught my first fish on a drone, then crashed my first drone... I would really appreciate it if you checked it out!!
Good idea but a better idea would be an RC bait boat.
We fish every day with same way by phantom 4 we never lost it, the secret is that we curve the holder to up and we send the phantom backward, and we increase the altitude, so the drone can withdraw the line from the reel, but if line got stuck for any reason, it releases by itself without causing drone fall.
I hope I explained it clearly because i am not English native speaker.
If you want pictures or videos for clarification, please contact me
Good luck
Thank you for your great idea. You explained it very well and I can see how your way makes sense. Unfortunately, I didn’t give much thought at the time about it.
Hello Buddy, im interested to see pictures and videos about how you do drone fishing reducing any risk of losing the drone, thank you.
That's what you get for fishing like a city slicker
Wow nice idol i like that to much... New friend from Philippine
Maybe put some styrofoam on it so it floats. And a 2nd line to reel it in if necessary.
maybe the line is pulling the drone too hard towards the sea and the drone cant compensate. but dude your release system is awesome simple and working. two thumbs UP for that.!!!
The sky represented his real inner feelings lol
I like the way you say that... "at least i saw a good sunset" lol..
That's ok,there is still another day..
You could buy a lot of damn fish for a thousand dollars!
LOL
All the best wishes.. I hope all you're dream come true...I hope you get a better one... Take care.. keep safe..
So basically your drone ran out of power and took a swim
Liked the ending with the perspective about the sky.
i wish that video got 10mil views to get your drone money back
Nice vidio..👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Will you keep quiet, I can’t hear the music properly. Why have music so loud if you’re going to speak?? 🤔
I was waiting for Daryl Hannah on a rock with.
Why didn't you you use a bate boat? Good idea, though I thought you were too low.
'Music hurts my ears!
Maybe... you should have mounted little orange swim helpers that the little kids slide on there arms... stick them on the drone's Arms...!
how did you get the footage again?
Dji go app creates a copy of the video at a lower resolution that the original.
i have some advice for you that will deff save you money buy a shit box second hand standard just for fishing lol
Dude, that was wicked smart...until it wasn't lol
I’m sorry that you lost your drone
Splash drone . Fully water proof land in the sea and take off from the sea . Comes with a proper release switch and dropper .
I would guess the line got caught and when you went forward the line pulled you downa
That is one of the theories.
