HUNTING FOR MY LOST DRONE!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2021
- A few weeks ago, during episode 163 of Finnegan's Garage, I lost control of my DJI Mavic Mini 2 drone and lost it. I didn't know whether I crashed it into my local lake or into the woods next to the water. After looking at the short clip of video that streamed to my iPhone 11 plus, before losing connection with the drone, I figured the drone crashed into the lake and was lost forever. However, after Chris Read took a closer at the footage, he was convinced the drone hit a tree branch and landed on the shore. Given this new hope, we decided to return to the lake and search for the drone a week after losing it.
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. Want to help support this channel? please visit my website and buy some clothing or stickers. thanks!

That fish footage at the end is priceless. That should be the ending to all your videos.
He should that is some expensive footage. Thumbs up.
The fish made it comedy gold!
I agree the ending is priceless it should be the end of all your videos from now on
The fish probably asked himself, what on earth is this alien doing in my lake.
I came here to say the same.
Love the fish swimming by at the end
100% the Best video ending ever
@@DKMathiasen agreed.
Here fishy, fishy, fishy
Flipping your drone the fin..
So sick!! I agree here fishy fishy! Come to my line so I can eat you for dinner!
1 hour and 45 minutes of underwater non-stop coverage watching the fish swim by was hilarious
Fin I have followed you for a very long time but bro you just had a full conversation with a house fly all that exhaust fumes from roadkill is finally getting to you man keep up the good work
Open it up! Clean the corroded board with contact cleaner and a toothbrush.
And then bake it in the oven at 50 degC for a couple of hours. Baking is industry standard procedure to remove moisture from electronic components.
When I was fixing electronics this worked about 80% of the time for me
Rubbing alcohol toothbrush and then bake for an hour on low
@@SubSonicSubaru Yea. But I wouldn't hold my breath tho. Since it's been dried out for a couple of weeks it might be too late, but if done right away certainly.
I'd say the chances of it being in the air again by its own power would've been really good.
Who makes vids of stuff that don't end up working. Good Ole Finn does. 🤣🤣🤣
“Explosives would fix this”….. and this is why I love you guys lol
Editor Chris is a valued part of your team! Keep him around as long as you can!
I’m impressed you got so much underwater footage fr9m the drone.
Right? I was shocked it kept recording that long! And here I've been too scared to fly my drone in sprinkles 😂
It’s got great patina now!! Matches everything else you drive…
It's also broken 😂
@@agentcrm Like everything else he drives :D
Loved the Bugs Bunny reference. One of my all time favorite episodes. Yea Marvin the Martian!
This is why i like your content, you just put up what really happens day to day, you could have left that out, but it turned out to be great content. Good job guys.
YES! I saw the fish swam past and thought, "This would make killer closing credits footage." When you popped up your credits I laughed out loud and checked how much time was left on the video!
It’s done! I put a Mavic 2 pro in lake Lanier filming customers on a fishing trip. Now you can upgrade to a drone with obstacle avoidance sensors.
@John Dillermand the only good parts left are the cheapest parts on the drone. All the electrics have been compromised, so for an aircraft, they are useless even if they do work. I have a Phantom 4 that spent 30 seconds in a pool. Dried it out and took it in for service. Spent a couple hundred on getting it working again, strangely DJI said nothing about water damage and I told them nothing of its last flight. Got it back and 10 minutes into its first flight it dropped out of the sky. I assumed that could be a possibility so I never had big plans for it. If the big ones worth saving could fail, nothing from the cheapest ones are worth saving.
DJI has insurance you can buy, and they will replace your Drone.
@John Dillermand it can all fail at any time after getting wet. It isn’t worth a dime. The shell and arms are worth $40. DJI nor any of their repair partners will buy anything that has gotten wet. It’s not worth the time and energy to try to sell a ruined drone. Realistically if your that broke that you can’t afford the cost of a new shell and you are looking for a waterlogged one to salvage the shell from, you really shouldn’t have spent money on a drone.
@@KrazyMitchAdventures DJI care on the Mini 2 is $79 for two years. I think you pay $49 if you crash it. That includes shipping.
@@glenngilbert4593 paying $79 + $49 is a lot better than the $1000.+ it costs to replace it.
It's super impressive how long that thing stayed recording underwater
When dipping a drone: unplug battery asap with it still under water. Open it up and remove RF shield plates, rinse with distilled water, then wash in isopropyl alcohol. Place in a warm place with good airflow. Wait for a few days and power it up. Will work in most cases even though DJI drones are real bitches when it comes to water damage :)
looks like it powered up but couldnt connect to the radio i bet the recever is toast it stayed on in the lake up to the battary going flat dji crap normally shuts down on contact with water what you said to do is the same as i do with my rigs if and when they get wet
@@Mr18031967 yeah, it’s kinda odd it stayed on for so long.. and yeah, the reciever is likely dead but equally likely it’s the main board not booting past something like a sensor, but might just be the multiplexers shorting out and in that case might be bypassable. Seen it and fixed it on a Mavic Pro by skipping wifi functionality, dunno what actually shorts and makes them burn to a crisp, but sometimes they do .. aaand all this is one of many reasons I now prefer fpv quads :)
You need a Sledge-O-Matic. It fixes most stubborn electronic devices.
Jewelers set, toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and it'll be mint. Lucky it was near shore lol.
So many fish checking out the drone! Always killing it with the music in your videos!!!
The special effects while Finn explanes what happened must have blown the budget 🤣🤣🤣
Thats awesome!!! The fish had me cracking up. 😂
Hilarious with the fish swimming around 🤣
LMAO It will fly its attracting flies I really needed a good laugh love what you guys are doing your content no matter what it's always awesome
The first thing I would have done with it, given that it was underwater for a week, would be to soak it in destilled water (or dryer water, cheaper) to get rid of anything that is NOT water, and THEN give it the rice treatment. Water isn't bad for electronics; the stuff that is in that water is what is bad for electronics.
A trip thru a dishwasher to remove contaminants(no soap) then distilled is how we recovered electronic boards at the casino after they had drinks spilled on them for months... occasionally had to repair a corroded trace from the cigarette tar/liquid eating it... or replace a leaded component from the same issue. Dried them at 130F in a modded toaster oven for 24 hours to drive out any remaining water
Fish footage is the best, had me rolling dude
Best video ever lol. The fish definitely has to be in your ending credits from now on lol 😂
12v Dave the drone retriever up to his waist in the water and Finnegan high and worried about poison oak. The world needs more friends like David Newburn.The fish footage is priceless.
As always, FSM delivers awesome content.
nice ending. perfect tunes.
Finnegan I now understand what your channel does so much better than mine because you literally just got me to sit here and watch footage of a drone sitting underwater till the very end
I love the little bass swimming around lol
Dude! That’s truly impressive. Almost 2hrs of submerged recording!
Epic underwater footage!
That's pretty impressive it kept recording for that long after it took a bath!
Well the mission wasn't a total failure it gave you content to give us well done
I'm impressed it recorded for so long!! Very cool!!
That was so funny. Just watching from the drones perspective as fish swim buy and shit floats by until it finally drowns
loved the fish swimming by
No Wonder the fish kept coming by it looked like a dead frog on the bottom 🤣 good vid as always I like the content . Chris
That little bass swimming by at the end 😂
AS a retired TV repairman and occasional cell phone and tablet repair done at home, your best bet was ALCOHOL to clean it, and not contact cleaner- Most likely the boards inside are smoked from hitting the water while powered up and then sitting there for days till the battery went dead- you could try taking it all apart, cleaning all the boards and connectors with alcohol and a soft old used toothbrush, then put the boards in a tupperware with uncooked dry rice for several days (left outside in the hot sun) and hope for something? if it actually beeped when your buddy put the battery in, I give it a 50/50 chance it's just dirty corroded connectors at this point
my cat sure liked watching that fish for the last minute of the drones life
The little baby bass coming up like wtf is priceless 🤣 😂 Rip Mavic
A little sad how long I sat here and watched the water...keep up the great work!
the fish checking it out is hilarious
I like that clip at the end as an outro dang fish taunting you xD
Well that's impressive that it lasted recording underwater for so long, and that it powered right on after you dried it out.
You don't say specifically what it is doing or not doing, if it isn't connecting, or refuses to fly because of some error, but it is wild that it came back to that point nonetheless !
I love the footage at the end. =]
I am well impressed with how long that kept recording underwater. DJI should send you some new toys for the publicity
This is an awesome opportunity to upgrade!
🤣 fish on!!
Awesome it filmed for that long.. lol must of got stormy at the end..
WOW!! Air and amphibious drone!!! Pretty cool!!! lol... Might send it back to the maker and see if they can clean up the boards. If it flies again it would be a great advertisement for them...
I was waiting for the CGI "Jaws" to swim up and swallow it )) sorry for your loss ;)
I love that ksr sticker on the bandsaw such good product placement there 😂😉
Loving the fish at the end. Hmm maybe a drone/submarine combo should be made.
Love the ending!
Awesome. Reminds me of an ending to a movie. But can't remember which one
Ultrasonic bath in Simple Green, followed by another bath in de-ionized water. By letting it dry out the damage was done.
For future reference, keep wet electronics submerged in clean non-saline water until you are ready to disassemble/clean them.
Nice placement of the KSR sticker. Good synergy.
That's pretty cool watching those fish swim by lol
Success. Found n probably repairable. And a fish finder to boot. Nice.
Great content thanks for sharing
Awww that cute fishie!
The fish at the end should be on a tshirt!😂
Best ending on any TH-cam video ever!
As others have said, taken apart and cleaned properly, I bet it would work fine, or at least salvaged with minimal parts.
Fit some buoyancy feet to it so it’ll float next time.
Amazing that recorded that long!
Love the Marvin the Martian reference. That creature stole the illudium pu36 explosive space modulator!
Truly great outro screen!
Super early on this one. Looking forward to it!
The end is priceless with the fish
love the Marvin the Martian reference! HA!!!🤣
Marvin the Martian reference!? Nice. 👌
That is hilarious about the fish. I can't believe how long it lasted underwater!
DJI subamrine research channel! Love it!
Best ending video ever with the fish
Fishtank drone shots, epic
I think you can make a video about anything entertaining. Those fish swimming by the drone, fantastic.
Wow that ending timer!! crazy
That little bass was interested lol
Bummer dude.... had you gone and looked for it when you crashed it it probably would have worked again. I'm amazed it kept recording for as long as it did. I think I might order one of those myself here in the not too distant future.
Love the fish footage
Talk about the perfect underwater shot
Great style.
Loved that outro with the fish, the music not so sure but still a great outro
And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust hey!! 😞
Good ya found it to get the memory card out of it though!!!
The fish keep attacking that funny. I can't believe how long it was recording under water for
Man, it worked for quite a while under water! Nice fish shots!😂
Was about to fall asleep until my feed refreshed!
No shit!! she went almost two hours recording under water!!! Brilliant ending brother!!!
Uranium p235 Marvin Martian reference LOVED IT ❤ 😍 💖
Something Garrett might say, (aka Cleetus McFarland) "That drone was boggin' deep!, Hell Yeah Brother"😆
Impressive that it actually recorded that long under water!
It's pretty cool that it continued recording for that long.
That little bass was like that’s one weird looking fish looked freaked the hell out lmao
Love to top gun references!
Does the manufacturer have a program to refurbish crashed drones? Seems like an expensive item to be a throw away .
These things are assembled with threaded fasteners. To me that says an item is serviceable. I bet somebody could fix it.
They do have a GREAT WARRANTY program. Have a Buddy who crashed his into pieces and they replaced it.
Yes. I just had to replace my Air 2S. It was stuck at the top of a 100' tall tree for a week until finally being blown out by a rain storm . It broke an arm and DJI replaced it within a week. The problem is, you have to send back the broken drone. If they had not found it DJI would not replace it.
Your setting records fishing like that!.....
I'm amazed it recorded so much...
The fish at the end lmao....classic made
Damn a long time underwater!! Nice fish!
What is the episode that you show the driveshaft disconnect on your jet boat to keep the impeller from spinning when you start the engine
The video of the fishes is really cool
