An unfortunate and unnecessarily epic encounter between a DJI Mavic Pro (piloted by someone who was unaware that he was “piloting” anything more than a toy), and an enormous bag of hot air.
RIP drone.
The remorseful letter by the drone pilot is a pretty good read, by the way. One highlight: “I never thought it would be difficult to avoid an 8-story slow-moving balloon.”

The rules get strict due to the pilots like such one?????
One day one of these idiots operating a Remotely Piloted multi-rotor aircraft is going to get someone killed.
Pilot error!!!!!!!!!
I love the fact he claims to be inexperienced yet talks of “Every drone pilot knows about not getting footage” .DJI will have not only stick control but will also show exactly how he screwed up! I can tell already this is pilot error added with STUPIDITY , simply by his statement! Fines are required so it deters others who just don’t understand even the basics of multi-rotor operation and safety !
Why even post this. FFA is watching these videos all the time.
I would feel that when they see someone about to fly a drone near a balloon someone would think to tell him that’s not a great idea but who am I anyway, common sense?
Who would risk other people’s lives like that
Meatheads like this are the reason drones are the bane of model aviation! He clearly lost orientation and flew straight into the balloon. I have seen this same scenario play out many times before while helping legal drone operators learn how to fly and not just plug and play. He is clearly at fault and the FAA should prosecute to the maximum extent of the law. I have opened many boxes of drones and all have the paperwork telling them to register, lying to a federal official…..
1:0 for the balloon.
From the first seconds of the video i could see a non experienced drone operator piloting the drone. Better not to do advanced flying when unfamiliar with drone flying.
Also weird that the licensed balloon pilot did approve the drone operator to fly close to them?
These fucking drone operators have ruined the RC hobby as a whole! Good job guys!
The pilot seems full of it. Plays dumb like he just got it. Doesnt know any rules. While I know dji constantly warns you of flying near airports.
I just got the drone. I’ve had little practice then I had a lot of luck with active track in the past..
He was like all these other people. They said it has sensors. It tracks. Ill just have it follow me and fly.. nothing can go wrong.. what if that drone shredded a hot air balloon ?
This TOY can take down a airplane , just like a bird can
“I was just using cruise control when out of nowhere a red light appeared.”
Ignorance of FAA law is no excuse.
What a DB
No training just fly that thing and hope you dont do something more stupid that already flying a drone without experience
