FPV drone flight up a beautiful stream towards a cinematic waterfall in British Columbia. Flying over water can be risky - It was tough to find a place that I had video the entire length of the clip, and video was pretty bad near the waterfall - Plus, something went haywire at the top when I tried to switch to the back camera to come down the river backwards - my controls didn't switch over properly and I landed about halfway up the waterfall, in a spot that looked impossible to reach. A classic drone crash/fail.

Thankfully, my friend was feeling pretty brave and climbed up the side of the waterfall and managed to get the drone back. A huge thank you to him - give him some love on his channel here:
