I RECOVER the Lost DJI Drone in the POND! - FiFiSH V6 with CLAW! | RC ADVENTURES 

I bet u can take the sd card to a professional electronics guy,bet he could work some magic n bring the phantoms Last flight to life.

That’s kind of like a trophy of all the hard work you’ve put in all these years, you should figure out a way to display it in the shop!!

HAHA!! What a journey and what a great victory! Enjoyed this thoroughly! The prodigal drone has returned! ha

Glad you recovered your drone, appreciate the concern to the environment regarding the battery, but most importantly I love your attitude to life and the world around you ❣️. You are a very good man and by that I was greatly impressed by you giving away items to your friends especially Sluice, the look on his face and the tears in his eyes prompted me to do the same kind of thing, to take stock of what I have and start to give to who needs and can make the most of it. Thanks for being an inspiration. Angel in disguise.

Persistence definitely pays off. Way to go Medic.

@10:38 Your excitement totally reminds of Doc Browns excitement when he finds out their going to need 1.21 gigawatts😆❤️ Thank you so much for the many years of continued RC awesomeness. Throughout so many of your videos I have laughed, shrieked, cheered, learned, and even shed tears of joy. Thank you for what you do. Much appreciated 👊😜

Rinse the card in fresh water and let it dry and clean the contacts with some vinegar. Don't give up! 🤙 glad to see you finally got it that's awsome congratulations.

I feel like I've been waiting for every for this, Rebuild series? Lol. If I'm not mistaking there's a company you can send sd cards to that are destroyed or water damaged and they can recover the data. I've seen it on RU-vid before.

I miss watching a video or two of your videos, but when I saw that you were going to dive with this pliers to retrieve your drone, I watched this video first, I was so impatient to see this rescue, and when I saw the drone in the video I couldn't help but shout "IT IS HERE !!" 😄 Well I thought you were not going to be able to get it out of the mud and all the algae that blocked your drone, but you were patient and in the end the rescue was very successful, I am really happy for you . And this lipo battery will no longer be in the pond and that's a good thing . One more word : BRAVO !!

You HAVE to restore it and make it fly again!

Awesome medic you did it. Never clean that thing and hang it from the middle of your garage ceiling. Try that so card again after a few days in some rice.

I bet a 'borrowed' emery board will clean those contacts up enough to read the card. Also I'd love to see an attempt to get that drone back in the air.

That’s almost as good as a great a feeling as getting a RC in a complete build kit and running it for the first time!!

Holy shit that was the most stressed I've ever been watching a RCSparks video. What a ride I'm so amazed you got it after all this time. What a great video

DUDE!!! I have a story for you. My apologies as it will be a bit long. As a young boy... and even into my late teens and early 20s, I used to love my ONE RC car that my parents bought me for my birthday as a child. The original basher of all bashers... a Tyco Turbo Hopper. let me tell you... I beat the living $#!t out of that thing... and it just kept going for years!!! So long in fact I literally wore the nubs on the tires down to nothing and I put my own nubs back on with rubber cement. im 43, so this was before skate parks were a thing. so I would build my own crazy ramps to launch it off and jump it off huge stair sections. looking back now... I can't believe just how versatile and capable it actually was for a 2wd, as I would even rock crawl with it. (though I didn't even know what rock crawling was back then) you couldn't buy replacement parts for it to my knowledge, so my dad and I would build our own parts from whatever we could find that would work, to keep it going. however... at some point in my late teens/early 20s, I had bashed it beyond repair. I kept it for years after as I could just not part with it. I have soooo many amazing memories with that lil beast. After all, not only was it my favorite toy... with all the home made repairs I had made with my father, it had basically become my own lil Frankenstein. I moved out of my parents in my mid 20s... so sadly... and now regrettably, I decided to let it go to its final resting place... to deteriorate for the next 1000+ years in some landfill somewhere. (boy... do I wish I had it now) once I became a brand new homeowner and all the adulting responsibilities that come along with that... (though I never lost my sense of play) I honestly never really thought about it or RC in general ever again. until about a month ago or so, when I came across your RU-vid channel. Since then... I have been binge watching soooooo many of your videos. Your excitement and love for this hobby is AMAZING!!! and is exactly how I get when I get excited about something. in regards to RC... you've helped me remember just how much I used to love it. I have also discovered many other RC Channels out there. including RC Athletes (my 2nd favorite) through your channel. With your excitement, passion and cinematography, your channel remains my absolute favorite by far. So with aaaaaaall that being said... even though I've only been watching your channel for a month... believe me when I say I've easily watched hundreds of hours of your stuff during covid. so I feel like I went on this journey to recover your drone with you...and you had me on the edge of my seat pulling that drone in from the pond I literally cheered out loud along with you... all by myself in my livingroom. hahaha. and you literally made my night. Now... I am officially back in the hobby... i've bought a little horizon Rucus and Roost for my 6 year old daughter and I, to play with together... and she absolutely loves it. (of course i'm a lil partial to the roost as it reminds me of my Turbo Hopper. haha) not only has it helped to "spark" even more memories of my time with my Turbo Hopper... I see many similar ones being created with my daughter. and these lil things are amazing lil bashers... to get her started. Now tomorrow, i'm on my way to get a couple axcil minis as I have already built a few lil mini out door courses on my farm. and eventually.... i'll work my way up to a TRX4 custom trail truck build and then hopefully... if covid ever goes away... maybe i'll make the trip from Ontario to Alberta for a TTC!!! ANYWAY...I know this has gotten way long... but with the off chance you ever read this... and make it this far... I just want to let you know, that your channel is more then just an RC RU-vid channel. it is literally changing lives and helping to create amazing bonds and memories that families will cherish for a life time. sooooo... thank you for that!!! So with that being said... you have not only re "Sparked" my love and excitement for RC, you've reminded me of a way I can spend hours of fun bonding with my lil girl in a way other then just loafing on the couch watching cartoons... So I cannot thank you enough!!!! Congrats on the successful drone recovery!!!!

YESSS IM SO HAPPY WE ARE FINALLY SEEING THIS AGAIN

Medic you should encase the drone in resin. Tinted slightly green with a bottom that looks like the pond's bottom the drone could be like it has been for the last 6 years but on a shelf. Or you could rebuild it.

Gona have to display,wall hanger for sure,pumped u got it back,and viewers give this man a thumbs up!

Perfect i'm glad you finally got it out.

560 views, & ONLY 76 likes ☹ What's wrong with giving the man a "LIKE"? This was a great video!

That was one word: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you man...glad that you found it finally. Sad you werent able to recover anything off the SD disk.

This is like watching the discovery channel...awsome stuff!!!!

Just stumbled upon this guys video and I must say, his extreme happiness gave me extreme happiness. Thank you RCSparks Studio!

What an awesome journey It has been. I've had the much easier path of just watching though. Let it dry and then clear coat it as is with the mock and the plant material. Preserve it how you found it as a memory, hang it on the wall In your shop as a trophy . CONGRATULATIONS!!!

OMG BRO!!! You got the Phantom back!!! Yeah, nobody with a lick of common cents thought you'd pull it out, recover the video and toss it back in the sky. But dude, so cool! So much thanks for sharing the hunt with us. Be well. Live long and RC prosper with us! Thanks bro!

Good to see others have fun as well with these rov`s. Great tools and we use them all the time. Thanks for sharing.

Medic... been watching your channel for years and saw this whole thing transpire. Amazing. You are the OG and this will always be my favorite RC channel

DUDE!!!!!! CONGRATS! Sparks Salvage and Recovery! Man Vs Pond! EPIC!

Congrats on never giving up. Much respect for picking up your drone out of the pond and not just leaving at the bottom to rott. Those fifish v6 are pretty expensive so most people would’ve just left the drone and bought another one but not RC Sparks. Thanks for helping the environment👍 be pretty cool to see what else you can find in that pond or maybe somewhere else. Looking forward to another episode like this was awesome in my opinion and the joy coming off your face was priceless. With the chip card you might be able to buff out the corrosion using a small buffer on a dremal but definitely recommend to let it air dry for a week. Keep trying keep wiping it and trying everyday I’m sure something will eventually come up on your computer. Best of luck on retrieving the footage and awesome job once again on getting your drone back. Hats off to you sir 😎👍

IT HAS RISEN FROM THE DEEP!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the best episodes you have ever done Aaron!!!!!!!! This is just a purely MEPIC day!!!!! Someone with some more advanced software may be able to get something off that memory card, but none the less, just to get it out of there is the culmination of years of trying and never giving up on a goal, well done my friend!!!!!

Bad ass submersible not to mention the bad ass operator, way to go Medic.

YAY!! Congrats on the salvaging and resurfacing of the drone!!!

Progress and perseverance paid off, well done Aaron 👏, I knew if anyone could retrieve it, it would be you.

Another great show! Happy to see that you were finally able to retrieve it. 🤘😄 Super entertaining as always.

I love the commentary of these videos. It’s like watching a directors cut

I've been a long time fan of the channel, glad you managed to pull that out of there. I actually work in digital forensics and have been for about 8 years. While I can't promise anything (6 years is a long time for corrosion) I'd be more than happy to help out and take a look at it and see if I can't pull anything out.

Persistence definitely has its rewards. Awesome.

Congratulations! Glad you got the battery out of the pond before it corroded and opened up!

Could take the card to a pro shop and see what they could do with it. Pretty cool and interesting video of the recovery drone. ^_^

Congratulations! I'm so glad that you finally recovered it. Cheers!

This looks like something strait out of the titanic

Definitely can see your jubilation when you got your drone back from the depth... I’m happy for you... Congrats Medic 👏👏👏

Sorry for the delay. This was awesome. Deep (ish) water recovery. Love it. Congrats.

Congratulations on the recovery of your drone what's been a long quest for and everyone else

I'm glad after all these years you finally found it congrads😁💥👍

😁👍 What a great video! That Zoidberg machine is awesome! So cool you finally got it!!

Yesss a long long mission acomplished, amazing, so much joy. Congrats on the find. Hope to se more of the Fifish. Good day.

That was so cool my friend!!! I was literally on the edge of my seat with fingers crossed that you were going to be able to get the drone out, unfortunate but expected that the sd card didn't work. Congrats on the epic retreaval 6yrs in the making!

First time in history anybody has ever won a prize first try with the claw machine, you should refurbish your drone now and give it a cool zombie like paint job

YES! You finally got it! Feels proud to be watching along the whole way!

Congrats, bud. Glad to see you finally grab the drone.

"HOORAY! I'M Useful! I'm having a wonderful time!" - Zoidberg

Congratulations on a great recovery! I'm glad that you finally retrieved your drone.

That is awesome RCSparks Aaron I am so happy to you got your drone back from the pond and I love your videos I meant truck wars 👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congrats on finding and getting your drone back

Awesome medic congrats on finding it and retrieving it from the pond

I am glad that you finely able to recover it.

Lol for anymore who doesn't live in Calgary, about 3 hrs after this video was recorded 10cm of snow stated falling from the sky

This is so awesome! I'm so happy for you Medic!

Tenacity and Persistence always pasts off! YaY!!!

This was the coolest video. Like searching for the Titanic

i cant believe it...the reason i started watching was to see if you would ever get it out of the pond. Now i cant wait to see what fun you get into next.

Anyone else having flashbacks of the Trainspotting toilet scene? "Yeah I freaking got it!!!" [fist pump] Nice work man!

Hi Dude! You are as enthousiast as when you find Gold ! I'm so happy for you Dude! You Lost it you looked After it and found it years and years after his lose!! Better late than never.. thanks for this fun moment..

Awesome recovery 👍🙂

Congratulations Medic after 6 years 👏 💥👍🏻 Maybe you can take the card to some kind of electronic restoration place. Or someone that is very tech savvy that can get info off of card. Been optimistically waiting for the recovery of the drone. Well done my friend.

I'm so excited I have waited so long to see you have victory im soooo happy thats awesome thats amazing thanks fpr making our day

That was INTENSE brother! Kept waiting to see the Titanic pop up on the camera screen....😂 Awesome job MEDiC 🤘

I can say one thing honestly I'm really happy for You this thing is back On land It's a trophy you should hang it on the wall it's beautiful🐠🐟🐟🐠👍👍🎖

Awesome! Maybe a computer shop can recover the footage!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!.......FINALLY! Nice recovery after all these years....

This is the greatest thing I’ve seen all month.

Wow, what a journey. Man, I'm glad you were able to locate the drone. That's for sure a hard work trophy. Great seeing you get your Phantom Lake Trophy.

Damn dude! The Mythical Underwater Phantom!!! Finally slayed! I love it! HUGE Congratulations on finally getting it back! Now if only I had a way to recover my Armattan Rooster from the bottom of Kootenay Lake....

YEAH BUDDY!! FINALLY So awesome, so awesome!!

Dr. Zoidberg performs another successful operation!!!!

That is a great achievement! Good job

CONGRATULATIONS! That's really amazing that the props didn't hit anything and snap. Maybe contact a CSI unit, they might be able to retrieve the card contents. How awesome would it have been if it did work right away though. Maybe just leave the drone, and get some fishing line and just hang it from the garage ceiling... as a trophy/ display.

That Phantom will make an awesome decoration! You can make up plenty of flight stories and the crash story...probably more interesting than the truth anyway. Lol

This is still one of my favourite videos, the sheer joy that you have during this video, one of the most rewarding videos in my opinion. That claw is amazing.

Congrats! Definitely clean it up and have it on display! Maybe in a glass cabinet, with pictures of your various quests to recover it. It would make a good conversation piece, not to mention the memories.

Great job !!! Zoidberg 👏👏👏👍

Was cheering right there with you bud!! Way to go!

No THAT is an RC ADVENTURE!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Awesome work medic. Now the challange is to restore the phantom. Reuse as many original parts as possible and put out a call for any spare parts. Im sure alot of people would love to see this fly again after the saga it has been through. I have no doubt your skills could make it happen

Dang the drone looks really cool . It looks like it went and came back from a distant galaxy to war and back .

I am so glad that you were able to find you drone. You should try to eventually fix it and try flying it

Amazing! What an ending to that RC Adventure!

This video needs a “super like” button.

That’s awesome Medic!! Glad to see you finally got that out of the pond

Wieee, at last you got it out of there! and I dont think that there can be a better commercial and review of this underwater drone, honestly, you can say, that after six years of searching, you also got it up! Congratulations!

I think it would be awesome to have you over and scope out our private little lake. Probably find a lot of fishing poles LMAO

You finally got it! You've been hunting that thing forever, congratulations!

THE MOTHER OF ALL YOUR VIDEOS....... I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR EVER.... !!!!!! AWESOME VIDEO 👍 👍👍👍👍

No more buzzing sounds to add to the rc nightmares 👍👍👍

WOW that’s awesome, so happy you finally managed to get it out of there! Persistence is key!

MEDIC!!!! Sweet! It has been a long time dude! Congrats on that accomplishment! Can’t wait to see what’s next brother! Awesome machines, one hand washes the other ! WooHoo!!

Awesome man. Thats shame the SanDisk cant be recognized that would of been cool. Maybe someone that watches the channel might be able to do something about it.

Awsome, that was a great! glad you could finally retrieved your drone. I could almost feel your excitement on the other side of the sceen lol! Great job!
