Frozen fishing ponds near to home and on the way home the other afternoon. Love how this one turned out and how the spot is looking with a bit of snow and ice -
  

Very cool video.

For a moment I thought you lost the drone (gone fishing)

Very nice video!!!

Spectacular performance.

Nice flight Corey.

Oh god forbid Good for me the ponds were frozen and no one was around.

Yeah, don't think about it.

great flying Corey

Exhilarating footage Corey.     You have an uncanny knack for finding the coolest places to fly.  

Season's greetings.

Thanks man and Happy Christmas. This is only 15mins walk from home but almost always has people fishing. It's been closed a while now though, so had to grab the chance.

You're very welcome Corey and many thanks for the well wishes.  Nice to have such a great place nearby.  I'm sure the fishermen don't mind sharing the location.  

Awesome job!

Awesome job!

Thanks man, appreciated

I came here to see if you had similar fishing trip with Avata than me but you stayed above the water.
Mine ended up with a drone in bottom of a river

Never a good outcome buddy. How did it happen - Pilot error or did the drone freek out ?

Yeah but It's a good lesson learned for a new pilot like me Pilot error, flew to a branch and it tumbled a little so I panicked and did all the wrong things Water was freezing, not in ice only because fast current but I managed to dive the drone out and now I've been repairing it since last sunday.
Because of that I ment to ask here if there's a main cpu/pcb chip available for avata since it has damaged but I'm not allowed to start a thread just yet.

Had an incident like this ages ago. Along a canal, under the canopy, caught a branch, ended up in the branches hanging over the canal. Switched it to angle mode (same as normal mode in DJI speak) and just wiggled her free. Managed to get her free and land but could have lost a full cinewhoop with a GoPro attached. Lesson learned the hard way.

There's a range of emotions coming in very small time when something like that happens Well, I think that everyone who has been flying drones for even 6 months have come across some near critical situation. Especially with FPV I'm guessing.

The 1st one is confusion as to what's happening, quickly followed by sheer panic and then (hopefully) relief as long as it's not bailed and you have to go swimming
