Recently put together a video on how to avoid 5 of the most common ways beginner drone pilots crash (i.e. how i've crashed over the years ;)) complete with as much crash footage as I could pull together.

Interested to hear what some of the most common crashes are in ya'll's experience, and maybe some tips on avoiding them.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

You're very welcome.  Keep up the great work.  Hope you have a wonderful day.  

Good vid for us new drone flyers FlyingFilmmaker! Awesome tips. I don’t wanna be like u but I know eventually it’s inevitable. I normally fly fixed wing rc aircraft and I’ve done the walk of shame a few times.

Thanks! Glad it was helpful! Unfortunately I know very few drone pilots who haven't crashed at some point, but you can at least minimize the risk. And know that it happens to the best of us. Also especially with some of the more recent drones, a crash doesn't necessarily mean a broken drone, because they have made them significantly more sturdy.
