Before you watch I just want to reiterate that I knew the possibilities and take full responsibility for what had happened. Nobody was hurt, injured or effected by this except for me. I made this video to remind people of the possible dangers that could come from flying a drone no matter how experienced you are. I just want to say that we will be back soon! so please subscribe and hopefully within the next few weeks we'll have the Mavic version 2!

Also, I know this is a Mavic video, but this video is to remind people that all drones are capable of such things.


Thanks and happy flying!!!!

So we make the Phantomrain Wet Suits for the Phantom 4 Pro that allow the Phantom to fly in the Rain or any other harsh weather condition. Although we did not make the Wet Suit for the Mavic Pro do to the battery being on top of the unit and the camera not being as water resistant.

I do not believe that it was the rain that blocked your signal. I do think you may have panicked and starting bringing the drone down lower and lower and than lost signal do to the stadium build . Had water gotten in the battery , than the drone would have just fallen out of the sky. We will be making the Wet Suit for the new Mavic Air and of course continue with the Phantom 4 as flying in the rain is no longer an issue with the Phantom wet suits and you are encouraged to see how Drones fly in the rain at phantomrain.org

Knowing that it was not the rain should bring some comfort as you might have been blaming it on a poor decision rather than just Signal block do to going to low in that structure, than again maybe you will feel worse , but I hope not.

Nope wasn't the rain, pretty much my fault it got out of sight over a hill before I realized what it happened it was in the trees

That sucks, but crap happens, it’s a expensive hobby when things go wrong for sure, I learned my lesson as well when lost a p3p over water when i went out for some range test and I turned around to head back home and there was a strong headwind that I didn’t anticipate and ran out of battery and the drone took a swim, my fault as well, but you learn from it and try and not make the same mistakes

Any experience, good or bad, can be used as a "training" incident as to the do's & don't of flying drones. So even though you destroyed your drone, you hopefully learned from the experience and will apply your knowledge to your next drone flight. BTW you are not alone on crashing your drones. There are those of us who have, and then there are those of us who lie about never having done so. LOL
