Close call, i was too busy trying to see if there was any fish, i think i over conmpensated too lol

You nearly had to change your name to sparky, lol

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience with us. That was a close on. Just a reminder. Please avoid those powerlines because those powerlines can cause interference from the Remote controller to the DJI Drone and may lead to a crash. Thank you.

That was close - good recovery   

Lucky you didn't notice being in the water

More importantly, was there any fish?

From the looks of it i think you would have cleared the lines anyway just panicked a little when they came into view and then as you put it over compensated.
Ive done the same thing put my heart up in my throat on a number of close calls.

That would be nicer than i would call myself ALABAMA
thanks CW
rangers95, Ha, no fish that i could see lol
GoldenSun, been there, done that already lol
Yeah Hellsgate, that exactly what i did whine trying to go under that bridge

Ah, no fireworks. But a Nice high wire catch.

You get to fly another day. Awesome...

Video to show us, that it really happened, Priceless. Hahaha


Good stuff. Thanks

yeah, sadly the under the bridge episode, the video on both the phone and the sd card were corrupt, i think it was due to incorrect video termination , would loved to have see the water bed, upside own and in 4k

Not that it would make any difference had you been much closer and hit, but can't help wondering if those are power or telephone lines?
if power lines there seem to be missing one line but it look like there is some big isolating things at the pole there would not be needed for a phone line, sorry that my curious geek mind can't stop wondering.

Did you have a PL filter mounted? - Does not look like it or it might have been rotated wrong, try that next time in order to look trough the water surface.

Fly safe.

Ok, if you have one try the same with a pl, it can make quite a difference.

I would expect power lines to contain a 0 + 3*phase, most of those small power lines has been put into the ground over here, thanks for the insight.

I use pl sun glasses for fishing, i was just burning up the last of the battery

Yeah, most are underground here, not sure why some arent, prob down to cost
