Central NSW at around 200 - 300 feet.
Drone is often knocked over by wind and "strong breeze" and loses control. In this , although subtle, the wind took the drone away and could not be brought back but also an "updraft" kept holding the drone up and inclusive appeared to me to be lifting it after the power was dropped a few times!
Wagga Wagga can be seen 5 -7 Km away with a stretch of Lake Albert in front of the hill , and Forest Hill opposite direction outlying town with airport.
Toy drones "the alike of" e.g. V686 are not able to handle wind beyond 3 meters a second(and should only bee flown inside or in properly wind shielded areas) - THEY ARE PROBABLY MOST OF THE REASON FOR MOST CRASHES AND THUS LAW UNREASONABLE LAW CHANGES AND BANS AGAINST DRONES, AS MUCH NON UNDERSTANDING THE SEVERE LIMITATIONS ANY SMALL ABSOLUTE-NON-PROFESSIONAL SIZE DRONES HAVE FOR POWER AND ITS' SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY !!!!
FOR more information see "Drone Quad-copter flight control demo - Legislation (What they didn't tell you)".
"Unfortunately" toy drones(under 250 grams) are not safe to fly outside where light breeze or "breeze gusts" most often will send a toy size quad-copter from control because it is too powerless.
*** a note about when i say ..."full power"... at around 37:10 in the film, that is an attempt to lift the V686 up because it is sinking from a combination of air pressure change(sinking is how you detect that change and the weather changed from sunny to raining a couple of times in those few days and totaled around 7 or 8mm of rainfall) and from too little throttle power supplied for a short moment.
With small drones it can easily be too late as can be heard a moment before the small drone under 250g (it weighs just over 100g) crashes!
Also "Headless mode" is not in use making steering a little inaccurate and not precise enough for the required absolute countering of wind direction!
"Headless mode" is a system that can be set from the transmitter to allow the aircraft to respond to control stick signals as though it were always facing away from the transmitter.
Moreover, i wasn't my best that afternoon and the sky was darker than it appears, and i couldn't quite properly judge the paint color positions put on the front two limbs(the color although bold red is on the darker side too).
see : "Drone Quad-copter flight control demo - Legislation (What they didn't tell you) " Aprox. 1 hour - boring but important

Simple, rust,and less chance of fouling operating parts, but mostly from falling in the water not the spray.
