Crashed my drone into a Norwegian fjord - Dji Mini 3 Flyaway 

The video has timestamps if you want to skip parts. I also have DJI Care Refresh, a kind of insurance. So have already received a new drone. You live and you learn 😁

The mistake you made was attempting to fight against the wind. It would be better to fly as low as possible and ride the wind like a sailboat. Move diagonally to catch the wind and gain speed, then gently turn diagonally against the wind. Repeat this zigzag pattern to navigate across the fjord and retrieve the drone more effectively.

thanks for the verry pretty drone movies, Drone RIP

One drone, drowned.... 😬 The wind was caused by the mountains, it is a phenomenon called topographical wind 🤓 Footage was fantastic too 😎

Sjukt frustrerande när det verkar ha varit såååå nära! :D

Oh no! So close to those houses! I'm sorry that you lost your drone.

HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP!!

Nice try! You have to make a rescue life balloon for next drone. Just a water sensible helium cartridge and run/row for it. 😅

Så nära men så långt borta till att få den i land 🙂

Cool scenery... I'm sorry you lost your drone so close to the house 😔

That was a costly flight, even if you got a new one. But at least you learned something about battery time 😁 Too bad the landing wasn't recorded.

2:40 Was that the 'ding' from a Philips Airfryer in the background?

Heavy wind and a light drone mostly the wind will win, next drone more heavy and more battery? It was close wasn't it wow.

Maybe once the drone will be hanging on a fishing rod! 😉

thats like the one that got melted in a Icelandic volcano I think last year

Beautiful scenery but I'm sorry you lost your drone.

Oh dear! 🙄 Glad you had insurance though!

Detta hände mig med min M2Pro. Vid lågt batteri autopiloten tog kommando o gick ner för landning 15m ute i sjön. 😢😢😢

Sorry your drone became a submersible.

RIP drone! 🫡❤

Sports mode is not energy effective. Normal mode had been better.

god i really want a drone seems so awsome to fly. but i live to close to a no fly zone to make it worth it :(

For next time. - The mini drones are to light to handle wind effienctly so they use a lot more power to sustain themself. - Stop recording through your drone. i saw that you never stopped recording. if you'd done so by the houses, you would have made it. - And like you said, always watch your timer for your battery. i would never have flown over in the first place seeing i had only 8 minutes. I have the mavic 3 and always return when i have 8 minutes left xP I don't wanna sound like a besserwiser or how you say it, but i would never have flown over in the first place. Too far away and the risk of an eagle or birds in general showing up is also too high. Also there's a lot of helicopter activity around and you flying over 120 meters is not safe either.

Stop - think - act.. Dont fly towards your take off point, you could have flown parallel to wind so no headwind and reach the ground a bit more off where you took off.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

RIP Drone. 🥲😵 Lucky fishes can start making youtube content now. 😜 Good to hear that you already have gotten a replacement 🙂
