Low battery would see the drones doing a 'return to home' surely? And to turn this off would be somewhat foolhardy, with hundreds of drones to manage. Also, WHY would the drone-show operator not ensure they had drones with sufficient battery life to last well beyond their show-time, even WITH the wind? Makes no sense to me.

Hope he had insurance 😮

Great update Stephen 👌🏻🙏🏻

free drones for everyone

Thanks for your professional take on this. Shows that you know what your talking about.

New Jersey syndrome? Electronics get zapped lately, by strange flying objects.

Give me one reason why you would be flying more than a thousand drones in the daytime? Also, there is no pattern. Looks more like an AI video to me.

😢😢😢More plastic Pollution in the ocean....

If I was a betting man, the wind blew them into a preset geofence and the action on geofence interaction was "Kill". You will notice the swarm was moving towards land / people when the mass shut down started.

Too simultaneous, too coincident for power failure. More likely to be drones ditching due to being unable to maintain location because of excessive wind.

you clearly have no idea what went on

😂😂😂 jam jam baby 😂😂😂

What is "killall" and what drone model was affected? How do you know if the drones have said feature without knowing the model?

lol........but buahahahahahahaha

right above the water ...perfect timing

Yeah id say wind....jamming or hacked would all drop like a stone or in a line like it hit a wall because of a proximity of each other and b they will all be controlled by 3rd party software.....trees in background

ESC's probably cooked from excessive power draw in such conditions.

Crap or old batteries that overheated due to increased drain due to the weather. imho

The explanation is easy: Elon Musk grew some strong interest in drone swarms recently, so they are already malfunctioning as if it was his enterprise.

The first report I saw of this said that it happened during a daylight rehearsal for the drone show. If that is the case it would seem even less likely to be jamming, IMO.

Our jamming was successful, it was done to show china that we now possess the only 100% jamming machine.

You are all wrong. This happened because the change in air temperature caused drone vapor to condense, creating small drone droplets that then fell to the ground. Next time just buy a dronebrella and move on with your life.

Things go wrong, no surprises here.

Alternative: Overheating? Maybe of the motors? Eg their coils or solid state devices burnt out (expensive "fuse"!). Due to (unexpected) _continuous_ max (or "turbo" i.e. beyond design-max) power just to maintain position. Idea inspired by your comment to Ralph2 (about why the drones didn't autoland before batteries died).

03:02 A red balloon momentarily visible, near bottom-right corner, released then floats leftwards - not that quickly, though wind speed at height tends to be greater.

Just wondering why you'd build a drone that would use 100% of it's battery and switch off. Wouldn't it be designed to lose power slowly before the battery was exhausted so it would autoland safely and not commit suicide? Not a drone flyer so forgive me if this is a stupid question. 🙂

emp

I agree 100% that the initial cause was the wind. I'd never launch any of my drones in those conditions.

Cool 😎👏

There's way more than 1000 drones there.

Great video Stephen

Looks nice

Incredible. Nice view.

So we have been signaling the ones from the sky that we are ready to meet them once more.

This is there in Qatar

What would be useful is to demo how to do it!!! Waste of time.

You monkeys ruined Dec 3 and 4!!!!

I don’t have the DJI_RC option show up under the Audio -> Files tab. It just shows “disk” for the SD disk I have inserted in. Can I get some guidance?

Yes sir, if it fell into the lake, it would help prove to the insurance company that it was lost and not recoverable. Thank you

Oh nawww I knew it was a mistake buying a drone

Can we not block the signal to these drones, and drop them

why does everyone act like emps or jammers dont exist lol especially in the hands of our military let alone major corporations and businesses

Just the take off is impressive looking forward to seeing the whole show. Did 2 fail to launch?

Stunning 😍 😍 😍

so much santanders property in one video

Ahh what calming music in a juxtaposition of peace and destruction.

When you admit that you weak your enemy, smell your blood

it can be effect for flying ?

Bro the implications of this are wild, very cool show though
