I shared this video in another thread, and it's so funny I'm giving it its own thread.  It's my brother in law flying his ~ $300 drone.  He decided with less than 60 seconds of flying that "drones are too hard to fly."  I'm still trying to convince him to get a phantom.

He's much better at editing video than flying.

MUST have audio or the effect is lost.

Paul,
Thanks, that was worth the price of admission,
Might want to get him a stroller instead with cabbage patch kids or something!

Paul,

I've watched this 10 times now, laughing my a$$ off every time! Now anyone that walks by get's to see it!

Thanks,

Jerry

Thanks for sharing

His second flight is my favorite.  

but he flew it and now has an opinion...

You understand that's not a Phantom in the video, right?   He said it was "a $300 drone" but I can't tell by the landing gear what it is.  Anyone know?

Wow.  What happened?

He bought a cheap drone and he admits he didn't read the manual.  That's the root cause and the rest is just details.  It does look like a midair shutdown in the second flight.

But ya gotta give him credit for the hilarious audio!  I still laugh when I see it.
