After 11h of flying and over 85 km with my DJI Phantom 3 Professional  its happening on Flight 127. I hit the Tree and crash Phantom 3 Professional. In video you can see the damage (broken gimbal and 4K camera). My DJI still flying now without camera and  have a new job It was a good lesson for me and I am ready to order new one.

That's a perfect repurposing of a phantom!

Ooooooh, there you are.... At 19 seconds, it was all I could do to keep from yelling, "look out for the tree!".  Beautiful wedding procession and beautiful day = beautiful video....

It was my first wedding. I wanted to take a good shot and doing some step too far... "Shit happens" {:2_32:}

Very Nice! Thanks!

Drown your sorrows!    Great Attitude!   

Good sense of both humor and responsibility!

Can it possibly carry more than one beer? LOL

Sorry for your loss. Happy for your video! Keep your chin up.

I need to try with 6 pack ;)

I thought for a second you were going to recover as you seemed to pause there for a while amongst the branches, but often that tablet screen and ever so slight lag in the transmission is the difference between a near miss and a crash. Great attitude though and great videos.

Epic awesome recycling program!

Phantom with beer looks even better then  with 4K camera

I commend you for admitting it was user error and not the aircraft's fault. Most people aren't like that.

Thanks;) Karma is a bitch

Its like the tree sucked your phantom into it at the very end there.  I should know... same thing happened to me.  Happy mine was repairable.

Great story with the original Phantom.  I'm sure I'm not alone in cringing seeing you fly the new phantom over the heads of people at a wedding party.  Danger must be your middle name...
