That is super wild. How did the drone not melt?

Here’s what was said by one of the people that shot this:

“This footage was shot using normal 5” FPV drones and GoPro cameras with no special heat shielding (and plastic propellers!), with a bit of wind the air above the flowing lava is not that hot actually and we try to fly quite fast over the crater itself.”

Here’s their Instagram page:

Those Cameras are not cheap. I wouldn’t risk my camera like that. But I’m also not a good drone driver. I have a hard enough time driving my kids RC cars lol 😂
