    Well, glad no one was hurt. 

    But I can not deny, that after watching that video just above, that the guy sure can get interesting shots. He's good, that's for sure. 

    Safe.... Not so sure about that.

    But gorgeous video.

    Oh man... that guy used to fly in dangerous conditions. Soon or later it would result in shits like that (probably worse than that).
    This one is from the same guy... equally dangerous...

    No official news on what it was trying to do or any interest from the media.  You can only assume things are different in Brazil & it was normal practice to get low altitude camera passes over the seats.

    Man! those guys were lucky!

    Anyone that doesn't put their name and phone number on their multicopter is just begging to loose it and never get it back... more so if it is a very expensive one.  :)  That NZ building incident is pretty crazy... makes me think that a prop guard should be required for commercial flights..  if this beast of a machine had them then it likely would not have fallen out of the sky.. maybe not.. he hit the building pretty good so any prop protection likely would not have done any good.

    Well its just like the NZ building incident folks without demonstrated and tested skills flying in unsuitable venues. Oh there was this X6 flyaway in 2010 as well, that was found on a church roof.

    Having a chunk of cash does not make you a decent operator.

    You can easily see at the end of the video that they were flying in GPS mode and had no sats locked. 3 red flashes followed by a double purple LED. Some people have more money than sense I suppose.

    I have the Wookong controller and the purple is GPS mode, where I believe ALT is green... which makes sense as the S800 has a Wookong specific space... looks like the entire thing was DJI.
