Drone Fishing Gone Wrong

[@bretsheffer8263]

As a fisherman I know it is always a bad idea to tie knots in the midline When potentially catching monsters it will snap at knot. Instead attach a large snap swivel to your leader line barrel swivel and slide your hanger hook through swivel loop. It will also improve how easy it falls off when you spin 180 deg

[@dronetv6857]

you have to flight the drone more than 30 metters(90feet) hight because the gps confused from the water ( works like a mirror ) .........

[@lotsadogsmt]

The drone doesn’t receive the gps signal, the phone or tablet connected to the drone controller does. GPS signals come from satellites in the sky above the controller and radio waves that hit water die very quickly. Many GPS receivers also screen out signals that come in at lower angles because the signal distorts coming thru the atmosphere; it’s called a curtain. The height of the drone over water has no impact on the GPS signal- otherwise there would be no point to nautical GPS units which are actually quite common.

[@lotsadogsmt]

Think of it this way: if the water was causing problems with the GPS signal it would also be causing problems with the signal from the controller, and there doesn’t appear to be any issues there. I think you’re thinking about refraction of a signal (different from reflection) which is distortion of a signal transmitted over water; which is not quite the same thing as a signal transmitted down from earth orbit. Your height statement about height would be correct for refraction issues.

[@ThatSB]

@@lotsadogsmt so wouldnt the controller signal be affected?

[@Jerry-rd9my]

That is an ingenious idea I had not yet considered for my Phantom 3, and your attitude is the best about losing it; it's just plastic, it isn't eternal. Thanks!

[@solentlifeuk]

I know I am a few years late commenting !! But its possible that he made 6 flights on same battery without changing. On 7th flight maybe battery data showed too low and it auto landed. Its a common reported error - where people try to make another flight on a used battery. They take-off and then find the drone lands out ... even cases where it falls out of sky.

[@Bimmertech4u]

Great idea. My guess is that the line had time to settle a bit, and when you started going again there was too much drag on the line. The drone was unable to lift against the drag, pulling it down as it went forward. Had you reversed before it hit the water, you could have recovered if my theory is correct, since you would have reduced the drag. There are other reasons, like a mechanical issue, or controlled flight into the water because you were distracted while looking at the monitor, but my bet is too much drag.

[@kontramot]

You should've put foam "noodles" on the bottom of drone legs in order make it float in such cases.

[@HI-PSI]

Can't put metal objects on or near the landing gear, compass sensor is located down there. Metal objects and compass magnets don't mix. Even if you had the few successful flights, this still could have been the cause. Get one of those cheap camera guard cross members and attach a plastic pen body or something like that to it so you can hold the loop in the fishing line. Or just do the rubber band thing like some other comment was saying.

[@KrocoKyle33]

Makes sense. Mine did something similar but I was using wooden dowels. It got about 10' from the water and luckily started to go back up. I wonder if the water has anything to do with it as well. I remember reading something about if you're going to fly over water you need to change some settings. I never messed with it though.

[@HI-PSI]

Seems like I heard something about that too but I fly over water ALL the time (check out my channel) and it does great.. Only thing I do is calibrate the compass from time to time and make sure I've got good GPS signal before launch. I know the main setting to check would be signal loss action.. make sure that's on RTH and not land or hover in case it losses signal over the water.

[@boefinator]

When did they start making hangers out of copper??! Pretty sure that's just a coating on the hanger to prevent it from rusting and ruining clothing. Yep, just tested it with a magnetic mechanic's tray. Hangers like this are ferrous.

[@zmvan302]

Coat hangers are not copper. Check one with a magnet....

[@BenSieweke]

Fishing line must have touched the water when the drone stopped. Then on continuation with the droves path out to sea, the lines friction was to strong to over come the drones power to hold altitude.

[@eliasyoukhana6292]

Tr😢😂😂

[@peterhazelwood9325]

A couple of sprung loaded balls are a better release system ,because if the line tangles or you reach your destination .then you simply stop the line from going out and it releases.the mechanical release systems can drag a drone into the ocean if you overspool your reel.

[@Dronesorlando]

My guess is the rig is disproportionally loading weight to rear 2 - its on the back of legs instead of in the middle. That plus six runs with high wind could have been the culprit. When the drone starts to decent at the end you'll notice the front doesn't tip down, suggesting it could have been something with the rear motors (overloaded). Anyway, I've been hitting the beach every weekend here and it's been some time since I've flown mine. Gonna give it a go and I'll come back and let you know how it went, lol. My brothers been hooking into 6ft+ sharks every weekend in New Smyrna, Kinda scary, should be a blast!

[@HiTechDiver]

I had the same thing happen to my Mini 2. I was over the beach, videoing the sunset, when my drone went rogue and did a power dive into the Gulf. Never recovered it, though DJI sent me a new one after reviewing my flight logs and video.

[@joesoap5888]

Absolutely Tony better to have you're unserviceable drone back than not.. You could stockpile the bits for all the other drones you lose...

[@lazerbaconpro]

I have done this many of time and almost lost my drone. If you run the drone below 60% battery the phantom 3 will get a battery voltage error and tries to land wherever its at. The battery does not have enough voltage to handle the extra weight. Running it 65%+ battery never had an issue.

[@wearesymbiotic]

I think you need to get that battery checked mate. Have never had that happen in >100 hours of flying a Phantom 3 4k.

[@lazerbaconpro]

Battery was fine. But I was running 10oz of extra weight plus a full size mullet. This requires each cell in the battery to have a higher voltage. Go below the needed voltage in each cell and the drone goes into a fail safe mode. I turned the drone on/off after retrieving and it ran fine with just the drone itself and low battery.

[@wearesymbiotic]

Fair enough. For those purposes I'd be using a drone designed to carry a more substantial weight, and I'd be using a hexacopter or an octacopter to guard against one of the motors failing.

[@GlenEdwards]

maybe because you were flying low altitude, when you stopped, the line touched the water, and the surface drag was then too much for the drone to overcome. I think if you went with a much higher altitude you would be fine.

[@stir_stick]

I think when you stopped moving away the line settled on the water. The drag doesn't seem like it would be that significant but if it were out there several hundred yards it could be. When you tried to fly away again the drone just pivoted forward and lost altitude... that's my theory anyway.

Her mistake was to open the spool and let too much thread out. The spool should be closed. You should just let the brake go a little bit for the drone to take the bait with the line stretched out without touching the water! The excess thread that came out of the spool fell into the water, weighed and sank the drone. Sorry for my English mistakes.

[@jonnywhy85]

everyone commenting trying to find the reason. it's simple physics. the line he was dragging ended up sagging into the water and the water created resistance which made it heavy and when the drone could no longer pull the line, it pulled it down. you should have been at least 10m and watched for when your line was touching water and stop before it did.

[@mclovin9151]

When you stopped to check the line right before you crashed, the line had time to drop now that there wasn't constant pressure on it being pulled. You then went forward at just the same time as the strongest force of the line resting down was happening and the two forces (super long line falling down at rest or even a wave/water pulling back on the line, and the force of you going forward with the drone), the two forces equaled out by heading your drone downwards into the water.

Splash drone . Fully water proof land in the sea and take off from the sea . Comes with a proper release switch and dropper .

I’m sorry that you lost your drone

[@RaulNistor]

That is one of the theories.
