Took a cool ocean pic… then it flew off?

Well, that was unexpected. My first flyaway, and now my drone’s gone for a swim in the ocean. RIP, little buddy.

At least it didn’t go full Titanic on me.

Same thing happened to me last week with my Mavic 3 Pro. Not fun.

Happened to mine too. Welcome to the club!

At least you got some fine art before it went!

Thanks! I’m calling it ‘Jaws-Framing’… might be onto something here.

What kind of drone was it, if you don’t mind me asking?

It was a Mini 3. My first drone, and I loved it. Thankfully, I had the replacement insurance!

Wait, don’t they return to home when the signal cuts out?

Yeah, they should if the settings are right and everything’s working properly.

Got it, thanks!

Mine was set up to fly above ground only. Turns out, it doesn’t work well in submarine mode.
