Aussie Videographer Had To Run Like The Wind, Make Incredible Catch, After His $2000 Drone Ran Out Of Batteries Over The Ocean!
Perth videographer Ryan Chatfield was using a remote-controlled drone to film over City Beach last night when the aerial vehicle started to fall from the sky. In an attempt to prevent a costly loss, the 34-year-old ran about 100m along the shore in soft sand before climbing over rocks on the groyne. He managed to catch the falling drone 30cm before it hit the water, and was rewarded for his efforts by being pelted by waves. And it was all captured on camera, while the $2000 drone continued to film.
