Yes I could have, but I was new to the whole thing and kind of freaked out!

Im new to flying had mine about a month or so. But so far so good. Im going to try a small over water flight soon.

LOL I would have been to. At least you thought quick and saved it.

And I had the video going the whole time. We all had a great laugh over me running into the pool and the look on my face! Live and learn, eh?

If I can find it why not? You have to have a sense of humor right? If I can find it I will post it.

Been flying my P3S over water for the last 2 years, only a problem if something goes wrong and needs land there & then. But then how often does that happen? Also over water the chances hitting anyone or anything are practically nil. You might lose the drone but that's something I can live with. Plus water has some interesting stuff to film..

I fly my Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic Air over water frequently. My main caution is to avoid flying below 50' when flying more than 500' away. Flying low leaves you no room for error if your drone or you don't manage altitude well. As the drone flies further and further, it begins to appear closer and closer to the water so you don't really have the visual input you need to pilot the drone properly.

My town has the Fox River running right through the middle of it. Too much great video to be afraid!

Oh it is but I can't find it so I must have deleted it. I am kicking myself.
My brother and sister are on that video too and I wanted to save it. I love and hate technology at the same time
