Do you have a fun drone story like Robert?

[@_poppypowell_]

I don't have a drone, hoping to get one soon though!

[@Torbzs]

I’ve gotten mine stuck in a tree

[@gulp1853]

I've never flown a drone, but I would most certainly crash it 😂

[@macaulaycottphotos]

Nowhere near as fun, but I was trying out a relatives drone at a nearby field, and we got some decent exercise running after it!

[@footballlover9207]

I'd be afraid of flying one. I'd just crash it or break something with it lol

[@ashleybishop3431]

“One of the biggest crocs in the study is right down in there” **sticks entire arm in water**

[@elisemiller13]

@Ashley Bishop Robert is his father Steve's son...after all!

[@highon_meowijuana]

And it's not him but us, all scared to see him do that😰

[@The_crochetcrazychannel]

Hey he’s an Irwin 😂

[@quinngeraldi487]

just like his dad 😂😂

[@missymitekite]

Like father, like son. :)

[@mylovablepets2018]

HAHA That look of panic when the drone dropped into the river is absolutely price less! I'm glad you got it back Robert!

[@willjohnboy]

The age old problem of how to get your drone out of croc infested water solved.

[@Muslmaus]

😆😆😆 Finally !!!

[@houdinimagpie3364]

You never leave home without your "grabby grab" 👌

[@kayek8751]

I would love to watch a Things you didn't know about Robert Irwin or Chandler, Bindi, Terri or even Steve! 💕 Congrats on getting the drone back Robert!

[@katr9923]

This kid always puts a smile on my face. I love this whole family!

[@kasperzhan7576]

This is probably the best drone commercial out there

[@kremitbby]

Lol, videos like this make me imagine what it would be like if the Irwin's attempted vlogging 😂💛

[@Joerudel]

I don't think "croc infested waters" is covered under the warranty.

[@rabbitscatandguineapigsdog4716]

HI there r on Vick

[@rabbitscatandguineapigsdog4716]

HI there Robert lriwin good for you and your work and family good luck kind regards Vicky husband Jeff and Tiffany can't wait to see you and your family One day m

[@rabbitscatandguineapigsdog4716]

HI there Grace with loves from Vicky redden 1

[@andycontento3563]

I wonder how long Robert got teased about that for,but at least he got it back and working again. 👍👍😁😁👌👌

[@a-zlinguistics5646]

How sweet. love their videos.

[@olevaiti4302]

For the next time flying ace Irwin could tie a fishing line with a cork to the drone and glue those to drone with water soluble stuff. Some time after dive the cork comes to surface for you to do the rescue operation easier.

[@keatondauffing1166]

Might affect its flight capabilities, but not a bad brainstorm!!!

[@deb9711]

🤣 damn Robert is so much like his Dad in his looks and his attitude ❤🌟

[@dottiegillespie8067]

I want to say thank you to the Irwin family. I've been a fan of Steve's since the beginning, the first time I saw him on the discovery Channel. I still have t shirts. Its wonderful to see all your love for wildlife. His passion lives on. Now I'm your fan, thank you. Love to you all.

[@sanstar2007]

I absolutely adore you Robert Irwin!

[@phyllisvanhuss1190]

You absolutely take after your dad.I ❤

[@teganswindells9404]

Woohoo go Robert

[@tiarnah2181]

My favourite channel, Can’t wait to see all the videos they will post in the future especially when little Grace gets older❤️

[@countrygirl2625]

ROBERT IRWIN IS THE BEST AND HE IS SO CUTE

[@Hectictsn879]

We all love your family’s history your dad was a hero and a legend

[@francescamicallef1488]

A very helpful tutorial! Always ended up jumping in to get mine back...at the expense of my toes , of course.

[@furmama6592]

Love your drone story! Robert, you have an amazing life!

[@Shooketh__]

Very helpful tutorial. Thanks Robert.

[@ambergrizzell8385]

Great job Robert! Cant believe you got it out!

[@LiamApilado]

Top effort! Handy tip: you can auto cache videos on Dji drones so that it saves to your phone as you take the video. So the next time your drone falls into croc infested waters, you should still have the footage even if you can't retrieve it

[@kadiehuls]

robert with a drone is the coolest thing but can also be a dangerous thing😂

[@kadiehuls]

i absolutely love the steve irwin wildlife reserve. the things that the irwin’s and others do with it is absolutely amazing, and i appreciate all the research done too! very exciting stuff!🙌🏻

[@_poppypowell_]

Such a fun story. Absolutely love it, and love the drone too 🔥❤

[@belmiriscardenas5483]

Amo los Irwin y todo lo q hacen por la naturaleza

[@marydrew599]

[@sharonbiddle2344]

That's awesome!!

[@treytolley3336]

You guys are awesome keep being awesome

[@santiago4339]

Amazing

[@YeeSoest]

One of the few sentences out of Robert's mouth that his dad never used to say: it was a routine drone flight Times're changing quickly :)

[@bluergr1990]

I grew up with the irwins from the original show to now I still watch them glad to see the tradition continue into the next generations now with grace along I feel older than before but know when I have kids the irwins will still be around for them

[@topsy2287]

Robert just makes me smile he's so awesome

[@margevans4540]

That was super cool Robert. I also loved watching you on shark week.

[@gerardroll6468]

Robert... Even the best have their “off days” from time to time mate ☝️😄

[@lovelyjanuary]

“a grabby grab” lolololol……. 💕💕💕💕🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is why I know I could be friends with these people!!!!!!!!!!! Love the scientific technical term y’all have there for the croc grabbing instrument lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💕💕🐊🐊

[@allisoncole6294]

He’s so much like his dad. Omg. Love this family

[@beibeharry]

Thank you, now I know what to do if I loose a drone (which I don't have) in a croc infested river system (which is also far away from my house) 🙏🏻

[@tharunseethamsetty6932]

So Cool!

[@xray111xxx]

Well if I lose my Drone in Croc infested waters. I am calling you Robert. Holy cow! I love drones but geez. Glad you got it back. So much fun.

[@pimdekker4344]

When i saw the title, i thought a croc catched the drone, thinking maybe it was some tasty bird, 😄😄😄

[@mcaine-carlos]

I want to be Robert's best friend!

[@87654321j]

Well if your ever out doing shots with your drone and get hungry it comes with onboard snacks lol 😂

[@maliajones3583]

you all are so cool!

[@racheldenny2612]

You know when the drone first fell in the water....I was thinking the connection problem happened then. Not after the crash. That's why it didn't work after the crash, it was the original problem. might have to contact the manufacturer on that one.

[@mysticmandy8352]

Woah the quality of video is amazing! so interesting! Keep at it! Your awesome 👏🏻

[@kimhollenbeck6954]

I love your drone robert and I was shocked and surprised that you crashed it into the water.Happy to hear that it survived its dunking into the water and after what it went through that it is still working.

[@MonieMuse]

Irwin vs drone. Glad to see the Irwin won!😁

[@keatondauffing1166]

Thank goodness for this video!!! I just crashed my drone into croc infested waters while filming the native wildlife, and I was wondering how on earth I could save it!!!

[@Trinity-gs6uk]

I've done that, in a pool 😂

[@amfwelsh]

Such an awesome channel

[@Kennia1998]

Like Robert 🙌

[@scottwiseman7845]

Awesome

[@rhydermcdonald8155]

those are some big crocs

[@SomeOne-zw6kh]

Another way to fix electronics that have been in the water is to fill a ziploc, or whatever bag is big enough, with isopropyl alcohol, then put your electronic in it for the night, pull it out the next morning and let it dry. The alcohol pushes the water out, then it evaporates. We used to do that when I worked at Verizon.

[@Reviewbysneha]

Omg when his drone dropped in water my reaction was same like robert 😂😅 by the way nice story 💕 loving every video from Australia zoo 🇦🇺 💕yeh rice works 😅

[@nadinaanne]

Aww you pulled down twice on the stick.. makes it land

[@Aliciakitraksa]

Honestly, I am not surprised 😂😂😂

[@ronaldog3525]

It's good to get away from the obvious a bit. Robert has so many videos on the Internet, doing an interview or being filmed, that he can set up 3 channels.

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

You should be a sponsor for the drone manufacturer.

[@gerardroll6468]

Ahh yes... The “joys” of modern technology ☝️😂

[@mandywilson1350]

nice segway to modern wildlfe monitoring, running with the times :)

[@marianpizeno8511]

It's amazing how we can look back on things that maybe were not so funny then and laugh about them later. 😂

[@yurisexon6845]

Maybe if you could be able to remove the excess rice inside the drone, it could fly again. I've tried it in my drone as well and it worked

[@sarahmoke3393]

❤

[@realistindenial]

A few years ago while visiting Tennessee, I decided to fly my drone (DJI Mavic Pro) to a water tower out in the distance. I reached the water tower and took some spectacular "Point of Interest" video, but I lingered too long and the drone ran low on battery power during the return trip back to the home point. The drone automatically landed itself and I thought it was lost for good. However using the longitude and latitude coordinates recorded in the flight path, I drove to the last known location and found the drone sitting in an open field. Lesson learned: The drone calculates how much power it needs to return home safely so always follow the drone's battery warnings!

[@denisefallin8042]

He is such a cute boy! What a great kid

[@gh-lg1xr]

omg why does this only have 15k views

[@desmay2studios]

Hey! i know you likely wont see this, but i'm a photography drone enthusiast, i saw that you got a dji mavic 2, just wanted to let you know there is now a mavic 3 out! (standard version or cine version) it is really good and would be great for your photography! (dont fly it into the water though)

[@HiopX]

Highly professional and specialized equipment: grabby-grab

[@gracebennion2000]

Hey thank Robert ... must try it some time ... :)

[@ericleef1319]

Lost mine in the snow. RIP droney

[@choconatic]

Kinda wish we could see the underwater footage the drone took while it was at the bottom of the river, lol.

[@sfamilyvlogs1330]

👏🏼👏🏼🥰

[@isaac_18471]

When I grow up I want to work in Australia zoo 😅 love u guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Sofia-dt1gh]

I wish I had a story like Robert :)

[@Alisa-qv7uv]

красиво и животных не беспокоишь

[@superarcade643]

robert is so freaking cute omg

[@Dreama40]

The old put it in rice trick works every time! People used to think the rice absorbs the moisture from the electronics but what actually happens is that when you cover it with rice and leave it out overnight, asians smell the rice and come in and eat the rice and fix the broken item whilst they are there lol

[@bigheart4animals92]

Cute!

[@Dingosimon]

You crack me up, ahhahaahah

[@ParkDongJun]

nice tutorial, robert

[@theweirdsistersoracle2]

Drone companies, take note, this is a real selling point, here!😂🤣😂

[@bedantdahal2654]

I got it! Use a drone to find crocodiles. Tag them, and then the species is saved. GENIUS!

[@brendacrawford260]

What type of drone do you use Robert ? It must not be a cheepo , hehe . Glad you got it back.

[@lelandhurtjr6308]

Robert to the rescue. This time it’s his drone but in crock infested water. I mean where else would he down his drone but in crock infested waters!! He is amazing!!!!👏👍

[@nanikasissoko]

Cute

[@tinarankin9290]

First of all Robert your abit "nuts" to put your arm in the water let alone lean over the boat like that ! 😩🤣 My first attempt to fly a drone was in my son's house After leaving marks on the ceiling it landed on the fan which was working at the time We laughed watching it "ride" the fan 🤣 I bought a drone for my grandson and my son was showishowing how to use it The wind came up and took it by the time he went to the back of the house which backed onto a reserve the drone was lost never to be seen again 😥

[@Fixingthingz4u]

Rice is for eating Robert never put your electronics in rice :)

[@marineconservationnetwork1381]

We have 2 drones for our nonprofit, lol, we have yet to use them. Lol, this is why, lol

[@flordelizacabading6320]

😱☺😊

[@irenekimvlogs]

The other thing is to be careful how you pilot the drone. Not lose something so expensive also.

[@bluergr1990]
