Death of a Drone

I had packed my drone and controller away and we were heading back to West Van Yacht Club when we saw some interesting boats passing Point Atkinson. So – one more eh? But this time the fates did not smile on us! Whether it was dampness in the controls or a freak wave … who knows … but when pushing the lever forward to take of .the drone went sideways – into the drink!

Luckily not all was lost. The video footage had been captured by the controller(Google/ ASUS Nexus) and I was able to recover the products of those 3 hours spent n the water. See the video for the drone’s last moments!
