Well, if I ever go to one of those "drone" shows....
I am going to bring my fishing net... and see if I can bag one.

Good luck getting out to those areas before they clear it.

Ouch
I was wondering if any scuba divers 'got in there quick' but also are there croc's in that river? Seemingly not but according to wiki it has bull sharks. eek

Bull sharks and crocs??? We'll call it a loss

You're braver than I. I really don't want to know or test it out. I'd probably have heart failure before the test was over, lol. I just don't want to be around the day Chicken Little is right.

I watched my drone fall approx 5 feet right in front if me the battery was malfunctioned and and drained way before the aloted time given. I was actually bring it down because the battery was low and around 5 ft the motors just stopped and the thing fell. It cracked the frame but other than that it was in pretty good shape. I think it was because the motors had already stopped spinning so maybe that helped it? I don't know but i swear my heart stopped watching that drone fall.. I couldn't imagine 400 feet.

I would think one would have that much equipment insured.

Exactly.
