[QUOTE="thaHooligan, post: 3010644, member: 14892"] Thanks guys, I didn't think they would explode either. I thought I was wasting my time taking my camera out there, but I sure was glad I decided to just in case! lol The drone was at 100 feet, its the Phantom 3 Advanced. There was a whole crazy situation that occurred with the drone while I was out there. I had ear plugs in while I was shooting and I didn't hear the drones low battery warning beeping. Also about that time the wind had picked up quite a bit. I looked up and noticed it had drifted about 100 yards away and was trying to come down to land and it was over the pond and trees! I hit the home button for it to come back and land where it took off, but the battery was to low and it couldn't fight its way back against the wind, so it continued to drift and get lower. I took off running after it, jumped the fence, ran through Johnson grass over my head, and had to run through the pond AKA: The Bog Of Eternal Stench! It was up to my knees and it stunk VERY bad! So I cross the pond and run to the fence where our land ends and at this point its about 60 or 70 yards away and about 10 feet off the ground. I was finally able to get control of it and fly it back towards me now that it was lower to the ground and the wind wasn't as strong. Ended up being about 200 yards away from where I was to begin with. Had me in panic mode for a couple minutes there, but I was going to dive in the middle of the pond or do whatever I had to in order to catch it and keep it from crashing! lol [/QUOTE]
