Wow this video is amazing. I love the beautiful transition synced up with the kick and snare. And the shots are absolutely stunning. Keep up the good work!
You know what this is, this is a Guinness! Greatest line in all of drone recovery vlogs? Yes. Right before you show us you recovered the drone! Nicely done.
That's a horrible feeling when you crash, but luckily it was a bridge and not a Canadian plane! My advice... You can "repair" the drone by pouring Guinness on it. (So I hear.)
Ken love the fact you took a moment to comment thanks a lot..... Yeah no planes thankfully Guinness certainly repaired me if not the drone, no major damage. Keep up the great work....you must be the biggest drone channel by now no?
A well earned guiness, glad you got her back safe, damage minimal too which is great, she will live to fly another day :), great video and looking forward to the next one.
Great video and boy do I know that feeling of retrieving the drone after it crashes! Glad you got it back and not totally damaged! You deserve that Guinness! Cheers and have you subbed :)
Cool video - you hooked me at the crash! And then to see the WWII planes at the same bridge - wow! Can't believe it's real! Like the music, too! I'm going to subscribe!
the bogford files, great channel name, yeah me too, nearly lost it.....but lived to tell the tale, keep up the great videos, have a great day, thanks Patrick
Patrick.... the part where you said, "when will I learn" had me laughing out loud! I apologize, I know it's not funny, but it really was. :) I've had my fair share of crashes and close calls. Only once under a bridge though. I tried flying across and through an old steel covered walkway bridge that goes across this small section of the river downtown last December. I forgot to turn off gps to prevent any compass interference and so halfway across the bridge, my 4 week old P4P started wigging out uncontrollably, and wouldn't respond to any of my stick movements no matter how hard I tried, the sticks just failed to respond and my bird was headed into the side of the bridge, and would have surely fallen overboard to an icy cold watery grave. The only thing that saved me was that I remembered that during instances such as this that you should quickly switch your flight mode on your controller from "P" to "A" and back to "P" again really quickly, and that will reset your wonky compass giving you enough time to correct the problem. Once I regained control, I flipped it into sport mode and high tailed it out from under the bridge. I was too embarrassed at the time to post that video, but being that you were brave enough to post two in the same video, I feel I must now search for that old footage and post it up for the world to see. LOL! Love your content Patrick! And I really enjoyed your One on One with Keith last week. (I had mine earlier this week) Your response to "where do you see yourself in 5 years", was similar to mine, including Ken Heron being an inspiration. I still have a ways to go compared to you guys, but we all had to start somewhere right? Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to so many and producing such entertaining content. Take care & have a great weekend! Chris
Hi Chris, wow that was quite an interesting dilemma with your drone, definitely worth telling the story in a video and no harm in showing the incident.....we can learn , for example i never new about that sudden reset so we need to get that into a video.....keep up the great content, it takes time to build up i am seeing.....thanks for the comment
Ouch! Lucky you could repair it. Just crashed my Mavic Air 2 two weeks ago as well. Luckily my care refresh had not yet expired. Anyways, very nice footage! Cheers from Germany
really like your video man. at :26 I had that feeling like "oh boy" ..but you recovered really well! love your candor with the camera also. really good stuff. thanks for the sub. I subbed. cheers with a Guinness !!
Sad story but you gotter back. Let me say that your filming, editing and moderation is quite excellent. It‘s a pleasure to watch. A little bit too Neistatty 😂 for my taste. I subbed for not missing the next one.
i was very lucky, thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the sub too, i am trying to identify my own style and not be too casey Neistatty as you ay so hopefully it will consolidate as time goes on.....
Entertaining video Patrick, Gary was funny towards the end there before you introduced him. I thought he was just a random person in the pub, the way he was looking at you talking to the camera. good stuff mate Cheers
Oh come on Patrick, everyone knows to avoid the giant magnets on the Fermoy Viaduct Cork Bridge LOL! You are seriously lucky, but at the same time it turned out to be amazing footage! So happy to be a new subscriber, i love your edits and your commentary! Cheers from California!
You may have save me a lot of $$$$.. Been fighting with the thought of flying under a bridge at my lake... You solved the problem for me... thanks for video.
Ooo mate I would love to fly in Ireland! This looks beautiful! FPV would be a blast! Hahaha that was just a little love tap on the bridge. Well deserved beer mate! Cheers!
Nice coverage of your crash. I'm surprised that your sensors didn't kick in to stop the forward motion. The sensors on my phantom 4 seem to be overly sensitive. I'm glad that it worked out, I can imagine the sense of panic that you were feeling at the moment you realized that you crashed. You did a great job documenting the ordeal. Like from me.
thanks, they may have kicked in, as you say a bit of panic set in when i saw it happening....i enjoyed editing it afterwards to try and fill you in on what happened.
i know thankfully had a change of heart half way through and decided over land, glad you found it entertaining thats what its all about, i worked hard on the edit....
Greetings Patrick! I know the feelings you were going through. A few days ago I was out flying my Mavic Pro, trying my Epson Moverio BT-300 glasses for the first time, which I love by the way, they are amazing! Anyway I was flying down the middle of a river sideways, getting a view of the trees on the bank on the opposite side of the river and their reflections. I was so absorbed with the camera view in the heads-up display, that I took my eye off the drone for too long and flew slightly backwards and sideways into a tree. I still had connection to the drone and camera view looking down at two tree trunks and their shadows on the grass. I hiked through the trees along the bank until the real view matched the view I was seeing in my Moverio glass and then saw my back in the camera view as I moved forward. Turning around, there was my Mavic perched on a branch about 10 feet above the ground on a tree branch. I struggled to climb the tree, resulting in some sore back muscles, but managed to retrieve it. I was very lucky, just a couple of chipped props, but other than that not even a scratch on the Mavic. I replaced the props, changed the battery, and took it up in a low hover a few feet above the ground. It seemed to respond well, no warning messages, and gimbal working perfectly. I decided to do another flight which went perfectly, although my heart still thumping from the adrenalin rush. I was so so lucky! A lesson learned that hard way!
Yes, it could have fallen to the ground and broken something, or worse yet, could have fallen off a branch into the river. Hopefully I have learn my lesson.
Really enjoyed the video and the use of DJ Quads music too, so sorry to see you crashe dit but happy to see you got it back. Do the Phantoms not have obstacle avoidance? Or did you just have it switched off to increase speed etc?
Argh mate. Glad you found it and it works bro that's important! Good job you flew over land and tried the bridge gap there! Great video, time to buy a micro FPV and go gap hitting lol 😂😂👍👍 cheers matey! 🍻🍻
yeah i was lucky, thanks. ah i might just buy a micro fpv any recommendations, i could give it to my son who is 6 to learn that part....lol thanks for the comment.
Patrick Conlon if you have goggles you can link to a Hubsan H107d or H107d+ the h107d is the one to go for as it comes with a built in screen in the Transmitter but has a non proprietary battery which saves you £!! They are tough as hell and a great small but stable to start with micro FPV quad! 👍
Patrick Conlon - this model of Hubsan I recommend buddy 😉😉 m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Hubsan-X4-H107D-RC-Mini-5-8G-FPV-RTF-Quadcopter-/252983914883?epid=1925019237&hash=item3ae7043183%3Ag%3AchQAAOSwaEhZE3MA&_trkparms=pageci%253A332d824c-94c8-11e7-8149-74dbd1802b4b%257Cparentrq%253A62ded04015e0a9cbdfa7648afff738b3%257Ciid
thanks a million, I am glad you liked it. Happy New Year and look forward to seeing some great footage from you this year! Happy flying, Regards, Patrick
i am not totally sure, i think they may have gone off, i think they did, and i panicked and went forward instead of hovering, i was watching the drone and not the screen.....a bit weird i was starting to get real confident perhaps hat was the problem....
Yeah if I wasn't driving later that day I probably would have had a whiskey lol. the drone is ok, I have had it out a few times since so I am happy about that.....thansk for the comment.
my 4 pro got caught about 120 feet up in a tree (don't ask )!! next day after some thankfully heavy winds and a call from the local pd I got it back , only damage …. 1 leg cracked and a lesson learned ..!
Glad you didn't totally wreck the Phantom 4. A little trick I use is to fly very slowly forwards through a gap, making sure everything is good and then once I'm the other side I just reverse straight back. Then it's just a matter of reversing the clip in post if you want the forward view.
Hi, Great video! just wanted to ask you how did the watermark appear in your videos? For me, I have activated it. But doesn't show up! Could you please help.
im just curious you didnt mention your obstacle avoidance.did that not work or did you have it off? I would have tried the narrow sensing feature .you would at least have front and back avoidance.honestly i paid the extra for my p4p so that wouldnt happen so i hate seeing people crash but im very happy to see how good it took it!!thanks for sharing!!
i think i paniced and went forward it was so far away i could hardly see it. it shouldnt have been off, its all a bit of a blur now....they are a sturdy machine thankfully and the nettles and weeds below saved it....
yes i did an avoidance test video,and there is a blind spot diagonally left and right(i managed to hit a small tree limb with props) but i was surprised it didnt pick up the bridge!!im glad shes ok .i love your vids from the old country!!
Ah Pat! Was looking good til then. Was it just a bit of wind that send you to the left? That bit of plastic on the leg should pop back in. I'd check for micro cracks on the motor mount arms though. Blades are easily enough replaced, as you know. Enjoy the Liffey water!
thanks Rigger, there wasn't much wind just wasn't flying straight i guess....can easily happen. thansk for the comenting, i will check again for other cracks....fingers crossed....
Glad nothing terrible happened. Crashed mine into a fence and now i notice a bit of wobbling. Not too much though. Just not as steady as before. Let us know if you notice the same.
there certainly is still time, i have had a few close calls, i guess I must fly too close to things......keep up the great videos, have a great day, thanks Patrick
Wow this video is amazing. I love the beautiful transition synced up with the kick and snare. And the shots are absolutely stunning. Keep up the good work!
thanks a million....
sad day buddy! definitely a Live and learn scenario! Great you found it again too!
Wow, that would have given me a heart attack! Glad your drone is still in good shape and repairable. Great video! 👍
Thanks Patrick. Super useful!
thanks Rajiv, I am happy you enjoyed it. Take care. Patrick
You know what this is, this is a Guinness! Greatest line in all of drone recovery vlogs? Yes. Right before you show us you recovered the drone! Nicely done.
thanks for the kind words, i would have needed something stronger only I had to drive later that day!!
Incredible it is just a few scratches. So is the drone working by August 2018?
Luces, Cámara, Aprendo hola yes it is still working but I think it’s time to upgrade to the new mavic pro saludos de Irlanda
Amazing footage! I feel your pain in crashing your drone, Ive done it many times
ah its all part of the learning curve I guess....thansk for the comment
That's a horrible feeling when you crash, but luckily it was a bridge and not a Canadian plane!
My advice... You can "repair" the drone by pouring Guinness on it. (So I hear.)
Ken love the fact you took a moment to comment thanks a lot..... Yeah no planes thankfully Guinness certainly repaired me if not the drone, no major damage. Keep up the great work....you must be the biggest drone channel by now no?
great video
Footage is getting better mate, great timing with the music. Glad you got it back in relatively one piece 👍
thanks Stuart, I am trying to get to grips with it all and enjoyed the learning curve.....thanks for the kind words....hope all is well with you.
A well earned guiness, glad you got her back safe, damage minimal too which is great, she will live to fly another day :), great video and looking forward to the next one.
certainly was, felt like having something stronger but heh, had to drive later that day, glad you liked it....thanks Martin.
Great video and boy do I know that feeling of retrieving the drone after it crashes! Glad you got it back and not totally damaged!
You deserve that Guinness! Cheers and have you subbed :)
thanks Marcozo, yeah I was lucky this time, thought it would be worse regarding damage but I was lucky.
Great footage Patrick. Sorry to see your drone crash. Glad it wasn't badly damaged.
Cool video - you hooked me at the crash! And then to see the WWII planes at the same bridge - wow! Can't believe it's real! Like the music, too! I'm going to subscribe!
Enjoyed the vid and subbed for more good times! Glad you found the drone still in one piece.
the bogford files, great channel name, yeah me too, nearly lost it.....but lived to tell the tale, keep up the great videos, have a great day, thanks Patrick
Check out my ice crash...at warp one....

oh btw If you want I produced recently a FREE pdf Drone Checklist for download! bit.ly/2tkizqw
Ok thanks, I'm gonna check it out when I get home. Thank you.
Very nice video Patrick! Sorry for the crash...
dont worry Hans it was ok in the end, hope you are well. thanks Patrick
Thumbs up! Great editing. You are lucky you recovered it. Thanks for sharing.
yeah i was lucky. could have been terrible.
Ouch! Lucky you could repair it. Just crashed my Mavic Air 2 two weeks ago as well. Luckily my care refresh had not yet expired. Anyways, very nice footage! Cheers from Germany
really like your video man. at :26 I had that feeling like "oh boy" ..but you recovered really well! love your candor with the camera also. really good stuff. thanks for the sub. I subbed. cheers with a Guinness !!
Mikah. thanks for that, i thought for a moment it was definitely gone, or if not that destroyed....but it survived. All good, have a great day !
Sad story but you gotter back. Let me say that your filming, editing and moderation is quite excellent. It‘s a pleasure to watch. A little bit too Neistatty 😂 for my taste. I subbed for not missing the next one.

Unfortunate... at least you recovered it. Enjoyed watching the vid...Well done!
thankfully all is well.....thanks for the comment.
Great footage!! P4P are tough. Nice shots of the bridge. Attempt another fly through. I wouldve zipped through it in sport mode. 🤙🏿
Entertaining video Patrick, Gary was funny towards the end there before you introduced him. I thought he was just a random person in the pub, the way he was looking at you talking to the camera. good stuff mate
Cheers
Oh come on Patrick, everyone knows to avoid the giant magnets on the Fermoy Viaduct Cork Bridge LOL! You are seriously lucky, but at the same time it turned out to be amazing footage! So happy to be a new subscriber, i love your edits and your commentary! Cheers from California!
I know right, you would think i would have known.....thanks for the nice comment, let's keep making great videos in 2018.
You may have save me a lot of $$$$.. Been fighting with the thought of flying under a bridge at my lake... You solved the problem for me... thanks for video.
ah dusty, i have done it before as you know, just be careful fly slow and go for it lol....its great footage....
Had that feeling before. Glad all is well. Looking forward to more videos.
At that height the Mavic would just pick up its pace and fly on on the way down lol :D :D Glad you recovered it! Happy flying. :)
thanks Joey, and I will try to fly happy.
Ooo mate I would love to fly in Ireland! This looks beautiful! FPV would be a blast! Hahaha that was just a little love tap on the bridge. Well deserved beer mate! Cheers!
Lol 😂 thanks I got away with it

Wow! Great shots. Will enjoy following you!
thank you. if interested here is a FREE pdf Drone Checklist for you! bit.ly/2tkizqw
One of my favorite War movies "Blue Max". Great video..subbed. Sorry bout your crash.
heh, thanks your the only one who mentioned the movie reference.....thanks Patrick
Patrick Conlon Well that figures cause I collect war movies. Currently I have 687 War movies on DVD and a few rare ones only on vhs.😎👍
Lol but shouldn't laugh I have done similar crashes with my P3 and yet it still comes back for more! Cheers and safe flying, Allan
I know that feeling!! Glad its all good though. A well deserved pint (half) of the good stuff.
thanks Peter, if you can't have a drink after that ordeal when can you eh...
Glad you have your drone back.
Wow your videos are amazing!
thanks hope you subbed if you liked the content, beautiful dogs on your channel too....
Great video, you gained a sub from me! Keep up the good work!!!!
thanks Zach, I appreciate it.
Very nice Vlog man !!!!
Great Vlog, wow I can't believe that was all the damage, nothing like DJI quality. Just liked and subscribed.
thanks a million, I appreciate the sub, the DJI is great quality so it lived to tell the tale, I am being extra careful right now....
Thanks for sharing Patrick... lots of lessons learnt ;-)
ah here, all a bit of fun really and a bit of learning along the way....thanks for the kind words.
Fantastic vlog, you`ve got a new subscriber....Sorry about your drone accident but unfortunately this things happen.
Sorry for your loss... ;) glad it survived!
yeah Thanks Donal, so am I, I really thought I had destroyed it this time.....
Damnnnn hahaha. All is good though man! Love the shots leading up to it!
Ah James, you know yourself these things happen.....thanks for the nice comment. the shots leading up to the crash were good too. thanks
At least you didn't have to go for a swim to retrieve it lol!! Once again though great video very entertaining! :)
i know thankfully had a change of heart half way through and decided over land, glad you found it entertaining thats what its all about, i worked hard on the edit....

Yes, it could have fallen to the ground and broken something, or worse yet, could have fallen off a branch into the river. Hopefully I have learn my lesson.
good job men
Great shot Sir-
Really enjoyed the video and the use of DJ Quads music too, so sorry to see you crashe dit but happy to see you got it back. Do the Phantoms not have obstacle avoidance? Or did you just have it switched off to increase speed etc?
OMG I know exactly how you must have felt! Good call not trying that over the water! Tough little drones, them Phantoms!
they are, anyways here's to 2018 being crash free!!
oh btw If you want I produced recently a FREE pdf Drone Checklist for download! bit.ly/2tkizqw
Thank you Patrick. I feel the same way. As I have crashed my drone recently. :( I have subscribed to your channel as well. :)
wow, glad it's was okay! I've had my fair share of crashes with my Mavic, and it's still flying high!
yeah me too, fingers crossed we dont have any serious crashes that would be terrible, keep up the great videos, have a great day, thanks Patrick
Arggghhhh Bugger mate😲 glad it was recovered to fly another day
yeah I was lucky thanks for for that, can never be too confident. lucky to still have it....thanks for the comment.
Not much of damage.... I've had more damage on my two crushes from much lower height...
How does your drone working after latest firmware update???
love your video what a nice place to film
thanks Kieth and heh it was a great place to film, hope you are well.
Great video, now you are richer for a new experience..👍
Nice recovery, great job
thanks Don, it was a great recovery, hope you enjoyed the edit.
Great video and beautiful shot of your country! Did you disable the obstacle avoidance? It should have detected that
Wow. Glad you found it.
i know i was super lucky in one sense, thanks for the comment Scott, keep playing that harmonica....
I crashed my drone a few weeks ago luckily just had to reset and calibrate the gimble.
But I know how you feel mate.
Guilio, yeah its not nice, but I survived....for this time anyways, thanks for the consideration.
Patrick Conlon
A Droner to a fellow Droner
You deffo deserved a Guinness. Great footage before the crash.
Hope it’s ok after the crash.
thanks yes all is well, and only I was driving I would have had something a bit stronger......
I hate to see a crash ..... Your new subscriber 👍😉
Argh mate. Glad you found it and it works bro that's important!
Good job you flew over land and tried the bridge gap there! Great video, time to buy a micro FPV and go gap hitting lol 😂😂👍👍 cheers matey! 🍻🍻
yeah i was lucky, thanks. ah i might just buy a micro fpv any recommendations, i could give it to my son who is 6 to learn that part....lol thanks for the comment.

ill check it out thanks for the recommendation....
Liked and subscribed . Nice footage
thanks a million, I am glad you liked it. Happy New Year and look forward to seeing some great footage from you this year! Happy flying, Regards, Patrick
Glad you found your thing and it’s fixable.
I can feel your pain brother! 😭😭
Oh gosh that's not good but at the same time it seems it's in good condition after the crash. How come the sensors didn't stop it from hitting though?
i am not totally sure, i think they may have gone off, i think they did, and i panicked and went forward instead of hovering, i was watching the drone and not the screen.....a bit weird i was starting to get real confident perhaps hat was the problem....
You defiantly need a good beer after that flight my friend! Sorry about the crash would have made for a epic flight if you'd have made it through
Yeah if I wasn't driving later that day I probably would have had a whiskey lol. the drone is ok, I have had it out a few times since so I am happy about that.....thansk for the comment.
No problem at all friend happy to hear your bird still flys! enjoy!
Omg we all been there on a crash well a sub from us at bath drone
my 4 pro got caught about 120 feet up in a tree (don't ask )!! next day after some thankfully heavy winds and a call from the local pd I got it back , only damage …. 1 leg cracked and a lesson learned ..!
madpaddy73 not so bad at least it wasn’t completely destroyed you live or fly another day! Nice channel keep up the good work !
The guy staring behind at the pub. Priceless
he actually is my friend who helped me recover the drone.....
Patrick, I would've had more than half a pint that's for sure. Glad you found it and hope it's not damaged to badly. Cheers.
yeah i was gonna have a whiskey but had to drive later that day so settled for a half pint lol.....thanks for that....
Glad you didn't totally wreck the Phantom 4. A little trick I use is to fly very slowly forwards through a gap, making sure everything is good and then once I'm the other side I just reverse straight back. Then it's just a matter of reversing the clip in post if you want the forward view.

Hi, Great video!
just wanted to ask you how did the watermark appear in your videos? For me, I have activated it. But doesn't show up! Could you please help.

I have subscribed to you mate don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍
That P4 is tough, was expecting much worse.. Happy days!!
me too, it was great it lived to tell the tale....
Stress overload calls for a Guinness 😁👍
Super cool spot💯⚡👍
I crashed my mavic lastnight. I feel sick when I saw you do the same thing. I hope everything is well. I'll edit my crash today and post .
i know its not nice to see ,but ok when it all works out, did you survive your crash....?
Patrick Conlon need to be fixed but glad it wasn't the phantom 4 pro. I did put the video up check it out
Vetter Cinema Productions will do 🤗
Use the crosshair in the centre of your screen (you might have to setup this point in the DJI app) to maneuver.
thansk a million Thomas I will check that out, its a good idea.
Hi Patrick, you should do a "compass calibration" before you fly your drone again.
hi Rich, thanks for that I must do that.....thanks for commenting.
;)
Glad it worked out !
thanks Sonny, yeah it was great I got it in the end and it survived crash 4.
I know the feeling, I've been so close to losing my phantom twice. It's sends me to drink too lol
yeah it can happen so easily if you lose concentration, hopefully it wont happen again....
Glad nothing terrible happened. Crashed mine into a fence and now i notice a bit of wobbling. Not too much though. Just not as steady as before. Let us know if you notice the same.
me too, thanks. I must do that and check the gimbal properly, so far so good. thanks Patrick

Glad you got it back. Heidi
thanks hope your both well.....yeah we got it back....
Did you tap fly into it?
God only knows Chris, panicked a bit and it all went wrong from there......thanks Patrick
My biggest fear Pat. Not had a crash yet but I'm still in the early days of flying my P4P so there's still time :)
there certainly is still time, i have had a few close calls, i guess I must fly too close to things......keep up the great videos, have a great day, thanks Patrick
Delighted you found it, live and learn eh
yeah so was I, we all live and learn,...thanks Lorigan....
Very lucky that you got the drone back and I hope noting is badly damaged :(
i know i was so lucky, nothing was too badly damaged I have flown it again since. so so far so good. thanks for the comment.
