Hello friends, we send our drones over an active volcano (with a volcanic eruption) and then descend into the crater. The volcano spews lava bombs (from 6 cm in size they are called bombs) towards the drone, a propeller is hit, the area is as if shaved. Can be seen in the video by the image offset at 01:39.

Geez, bombs going up and down again! Amazing

Nice interesting video

Yes my friend. Thank you for your support

Nice interesting video

then we did something right. Thank you very much, my friend

Epic footage.    Glad the drone wasn't knocked out of the air by those lava bombs.

Thanks for the link Martin.  I'll check it out here in a bit.

great, the propeller is shaved nice and smooth

I'm just starting to check out your channel but I've already seen a few intriguing video titles I'll be watching as soon as i get to the refrigerator and get out a couple of cold beers.

True, you have to make it as pleasant as possible

YOur are baver than I am.

Amazing MBDS.

Amazing MBDS.

Thank you very much, it's a little different than many volcano videos on YouTube. not better, not worse, but different.

Yes it was certainly different,  I hope the drone did suffer any permanent damage.

We can't judge that. But we were always alone and always had great respect.

We didn’t always take every drone back with us. The volcano is unpredictable. Air displacement by gases is just one example. In such a case, the drone no longer has any buoyancy. The link shows you a crashed copter. There are 2 photos in one post.

I had a browse through.  Youve certainly got some great shots up there.

Thank you very much my friend. This video is also on our YouTube channel. That was the biggest challenge. to fly the drone into an ash cloud without getting lost. I'm not aware of anything like this on the internet. Unfortunately, the recordings receive little attention on the Internet

That looked like a kamikaze flight to me.   Did you get it back?

YES However, we had to take the engines apart because Lapilli pyroclasts throw iron-containing material upwards. The magnets of the motors then almost stop. You can also hear that in the video. If someone blocks it, then that’s it. We always prepare, everything is planned accordingly and implemented consciously. A danger to the drone and machine cannot be avoided. We were there for 3-4 weeks each time for 5 years and observed the volcano very closely. So we got better and better.

Yes, it's high time to head towards the volcano again. Now the possibilities are even more diverse. We stay tuned. Best regards

Crikey, almost a suicide mission.

The recording is from a webcam, the recording is from 2019. Luckily no one was at the hotspot at 926 m.

Çok teşekkür ederim dostum

Que sorprendendestes imágenes. Si qué estuvo en peligro el dron.

Que sorprendendestes imágenes. Si qué estuvo en peligro el dron.

Muchas gracias, el dron hizo un buen trabajo y nosotros también. En la foto se puede ver la hélice impactada, que lucía exactamente así después de ser impactada por una bomba de lava. El fotograma desplazado en el vídeo es el minuto 1:39.
Fueron necesarios muchos experimentos porque los gases mezclados con vapor de agua o H2O oscurecían constantemente la vista.

Thank you very much, the drone did a good job and so did we. In the photo you can see the propeller that was hit, which is exactly what it looked like after being hit by a lava bomb. The Frame-Offset in the Video minute 1:39
