Outstanding flying skills! You stayed so low, so close to bushes, debris, the water... Risky but what a video and it ain't CGI! I got a ride in an F-111 once a long time ago, 90 feet at 680 knots, it was intense, your video is almost better, it's damn sure a lot lower.

I showed this video to a friend of mine that was just in town visiting. He was flying his down near the hot springs from my back yard in La Verkin. He was very impressed with your piloting skills and so am I. Beautiful video!!!

Did you buy this drone from Russia? This thing flies for MILES and doesn't glitch. I would say it's clearly a KGB-level drone. hahaha! Amazing video!!!! I would have splashed down like 10 times, but you got this!!!

0:57 Are those rocks deep overhangs with water flowing underneath (similar to The Strid at Bolton Abbey in the UK) in that area where the water isn't wide? 3:30 I wonder what designer thought that lowhead dam on the far right was a good idea? Looks like a recent design, too. Wildlife death trap.

This is the Virgin River about 15 miles downstream of Zion National Park. I shot the footage in two different locations. One above the diversion dam and one below the diversion dam. That is why the more rocky and steep section has very little water before the floodwaters arrive. It took a little over 3 hours for the flash flood to travel the 15 miles to Virgin Utah. There was plenty of warning to setup the cameras.
