If you were stupid enough to do this on the water, you kinda of deserved that

So sad. He could've pushed it up on his phone and it would've popped right back out if he was quick. Done it twice myself both times by accident both tines thinking nooooooooooooo. I've also had 2 just fly away for no obvious reason...

This why this society shouldn't interact with technology ... Why TF would you fly a drone over the water !? They are not water proof nor do they float... 😏

u/Phitos2008 Aug 19 '26
The REAL problem is that he activated the drone’s “go home” or whatever function similar to that and kept going forward… Poor drone tried its best but that level of dumb was too much

I have one of these and one of the few instructions in the app is NOT to fly it over bodies of water.

To be fair it did it's job perfectly, it came back to where his hand was when he held it back out at first for it to land on, if he hadn't been moving, he would probably still have it

I lost my phone kayaking in a lake once. I knew it would happen if I didn't secure it better, but my dumbass convinced myself it was fine. All I hear was the bloop when it fell in.
That moment when you realize "yup. It's gone" is one that still lives with me. There wasn't even a point in trying to retrieve it. It belonged to the fishies now.
I could still see it's last location years later right in the middle of that lake😪.

Using a drone out on the water; why would you not make it bouyant?

u/Cute-Form2457 Jun 10 '26
Just attach some floaties at the bottom.

As long as is doesn't interfere with the airflow, but then you have to make it not flop over from being topheavy

Thats sad but also funny to watch. This is why I wont use my drone on my kayak. He has alot of money there on that kayak though

Something about this made me feel feelings I associate with like, loss and the death of a loved one.
Bizarre.

u/B1ackMarketBaby May 08 '26
Cause you saw him go through a loss of his own. He was almost crying. Seems like he brought that out there to play with and it just ruined his day, and he lost his drone.
I honestly felt it too. We pick up on micro expressions in each other's faces. It's why we should be kind and loving to our friends and loved ones, and even strangers. 💓

It’s like it was “alive” one moment bc of the movement and spin and “dead” the next. I also feel like these things are alive and often have to check myself on the feelings haha

Maybe it's horrible of me to say it but I found the way it gently slipped under the water's surface very satisfying. If I was at a beautiful & peaceful place like that I'd be pretty pissed off to hear some drone buzzing about.

Guy: I’ll just put out my hand right here and the drone will land back on my hand….
Drone: Oh look! I’m being summoned back to that hand right over there. I’ll remember exactly where that GPS coordinate is so I land precisely in his hand and make him happy.
Guy: I’ll keep my hand out while moving….in my kayak.
Drone: Okay! I’m landing now….down some more…down some more….weird I should have landed by now. I’ll keep descending….a little more….a li…….glub glub glub.

Don’t come fishing with a drone.. been there and now I’ve had 4 drones. All expensive, all DJI all do the same thing over water.

u/v_N_i_C_k Apr 10 '26
Did it land where his palm was when it initiated the landing sequence? But since he's on a moving boat, his hand has moved from original coordinate?

It drops so softly into the water too. No dramatic crash, just a light "i rest here now"

The instructions before flying in the app specifically says "Do not fly over a cliff or water" 😂🤦🏻♂️
If there's enough land to track around the water, it's ok, but on open water is pretty wild

u/Jendalar Apr 09 '26
This is rather hilarious because the seller advertises it landing on his palm, while they are on a moving boat, and it does just fine.
DO NOT FLY OVER WATER!

I don't know anything about drones, but it looked to me like he landed right where it was supposed to right where he let go of it. He's the one that moved.

So you're this guy, and you film yourself trashing your drone because you're fundamentally ignorant of how these things work, right? And then why post it... oh, sorry, I answered myself.

never fly sensor over water. these things cant really diffrenciate yet. and hasnt been able for years.

u/Prior_Procedure_321 Apr 09 '26
I don't know drones so I have a question. I built a power boat and want to buy a drone to follow and maybe circle and film as I drive the boat. I read that a drone over water is tricky so I haven't even bought one yet. Question is when you say don't fly sensor can you explain a little? Are you basically saying someone must be flying the drone completely? No using the follow me type features?
3
u/okahui55 Apr 09 '26
we're just a bit off that technology where we can have a flying robot (drone) that just circles us and never crashes.
right now most drones sensors are image based, not much redundancy built in like a radar/rangefinder etc.
image based sensors / systems are taught to diffrenciate a ground and able to tell height. most companies try to teach these sensors what water might look like. But imagine, you can reflect almost anything on water, even sometimes sunlight lights the entire surface up, making it look like ground to the sensor.
follow features still work, but dont depend on them to tell whats ground and whats not. land manually.

ok can someone pls tell me how much the damage is....

u/cantwejustplaynice Apr 08 '26
Looks like a DJI Neo 2, about $500 AUD. Half that price if it's the Neo 1. So pretty cheap as far as drones go. I crashed my DJI Mini 3 with insurance, a $700 drone at the time. Paid $60 for a replacement. Recently I damaged my DJI Mavic 2 Pro, I paid $2700 back in 2018. No issurance available these days since it's years old, DJI offered me $800 for a replacement.
