GoPro is nowhere to be found. I lost it on Sunday when it hit the bridge and I thought it had fallen in the water. Solo just lost signal and crashed. After discovering that audio on a time-lapse we were taking of the sunset, I realized it did not sound like it hit the water at all. So we decided to check it out. Somehow the GoPro and battery must have been dislodged and fallen into the water, which is probably 15-20ft deep in that area. But I will take what I can get, it's better than nothing. The props are all gone too but that is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.
I took my Solo out for a nice flight to capture a great looking sunset. I was flying around this old trestle train bridge(it crosses a river) which looked great with the sun shining through. About mid flight I decided to fly through the bridge a little bit. Shortly after this the Solo lost connection and flew immediately to its right and crashed into the bridge, falling into the water. I was on shore only about 200ft away or so. Thinking it fell into the water, we tried going out with a kayak right away but it was too late we thought. Then this discovery was made.
Congrats!
Wow thats amazing! We had considered hiring a diver but I am lucky we didn't before I found it on the bridge! Still might go back and give a better look into finding the go pro.
I think that is what the plywood was for. Looked dry to me and totally legit.
It is definitely very real. After we recovered the drone, a celebration flip was done and he swam over to get that piece of plywood. We wanted to keep the drone dry so we set it on there. After he took the plywood back to the bridge, he carefully went back up and brought the drone down.
