    Nice video, man. Really liked watching, your videos are usually interesting to watch especially when the thing is a little tragic lol but all good, I guess.. It was all worth it! 😊.

    Oh man, sorry about the drone. So far, I have crashed a drone a couple of times, one of which was completely destroyed. It's good that you managed to save the recordings.

      Oh man, sorry to hear. I had the thought ever as I was bringing it back of "well, this is my first drone crash, probably not the last."

    Oh wow that is a bummer! Nice that you were able to recover the footage though. I can understand this one, I once crashed my drone across a river and had to wait until spring to recover it due to access!

    Oh no man that sucks, do you think you could send it off to dji refresh/care or anything?

      It happens about 4 months after DJI refresh expired, so just paid for them to fix it.

    Hi Mr. Zoomdak
    Please allow me to ...hahahahahahhaa
    No worries, mr. Zoomdak. You are not the only person had that experience: a drone crash into the water.
    Kayak7seas lost his first one into the sea. I think it is easy to lose GPS far from the beach.
    He was going to retrieve it but I discouraged him to do so. It is deep into the ocean. hahaha
    I am glad you are able to showcase the footage from heaven to xxxx
    It was stunning bird-eye view...poor drone..
    Nice to learn you got it fixed with some expense.
    Lesson learned! Thank you for sharing.

    Yeah, that was actually a lesson I learned when I crashed my drone into a tall tree while doing a quickshot and havent noticed how tall the tree was... I had to replace a gimbal, it cost me around 140$... but anyways
    Wishing nice and non-accident future flights my friend 👍

    $276 repair bill for a $500 drone is very expensive..

      Truly, but i guess it's less expensive than buying a new one.

      @@Zoomdak I got my first drone crash a few week ago @ Garibaldi lake. It crashed when I drove it back. Fortunately, it landed to a tree bush beside the lake. I spent 10 min to reach and it’s light still flashed. That helped me locate it. I did some home work checking RUclips video help, and self repaired it damaged gimbal and replaced wings. It is now back to mission. I am lucky..

      pretty much the cost of a new unit- the two most important parts to the aircraft got damaged.
      not a big deal if you happen to have a ton of batteries.... but that's only 55... it stinks for sure
