What not to do with your Drone

[SteveCA]

I think the blades warped due to the heat and he lost his angle of atack

yep, that is the most likely answer imho

Or melted completely

I use my Mavic to help start fires... not that way tho.

It might have been a ploy to get his wife to let him buy a new one. "But honey, it accidentally crashed into the fire!"

I like that..... Get a new drone
Ship my Mavic in to be repaired
It's a win-win situation
.
.....I'm not going to say it happens
a wink... wink.....maybe.?

Looks like a Inspire.?
.

thankfully not a real inspire ,but a Chinese clone look alike, not a very inspiring thing to do though

With camera.

I think he was intentionally trying to dump it in the fire. It has no gimbal on it.

I'm not sure .... because of the way he quickly starts dashing towards it after it's engulfed in flames. I think we was an idiot that was surprised by what happened.

To me, by the way he coned off the fire pit area, he was intending to land it there.

Looks like he crashed and burned

Actually, flying that close to a fire will provide more lift, due to the updraft. I used to fly sailplanes, and we would chase thermals and stay up for alot longer if we could find them.

I also flew sailplanes, aka gliders. We used to seek out shopping center parking lots, great thermal hot spots.
