A photographer took a FPV drone video (literally) over the top. The shot is amazing: https://www.facebook.com/steinbekk/posts/10224917280624476 https://www.fa

I wonder how the drone looked afterwards

  Have you ever burnt a resistor? It likely looks like a 10 pound burned resistor.

Woah, it looks like a 3D render, surreal.

  My first thought was that it could just as well have been a shot from Mustafar in Star Wars. Stunning video!

  To me it looked like a demoscene clip.

He really went for it didn't he? A bit lower and it'd be toast
- jcims 6y ago
  That and he flew through a shower of molten rock, the smallest little blob would take that drone out. Some things are with the risk though, turned out amazing!

  A bit higher too; there's a lump of lava that ended up above it.

  I could only think: TOO LOW - TERRAIN! PULL UP! TOO LOW - TERRAIN! PULL UP!

    haha, I really thought some magma might have hit the drone when the drone went over the cone.
- raverbashing 6y ago
  I am surprised the drone survived (or did it?)
  - yccs27 6y ago
    The drone might have streamed the video back to the operator, so it's not a given that the drone survived. Since the photographer knew they were going to take a risky shot, it's not even unlikely. Maybe that's why the footage stops in the middle of the lava spray...
  - MrDresden 6y ago
    Perhaps a calculated risk, in case media outlets want to use the footage for anything the royalties might outweigh the cost of the drone. Would be wasteful though.

  In case anyone doesn’t notice this little detail... right in the last few seconds you can see one of the erupting chunks of lava pass out of the frame in the vertical direction. It looks like the drone made a lucky pass through the top of the erupting lava plume, narrowly missing red hot chunks of lava. To clarify... it looks like that, can anyone more familiar with the original post confirm more details? Because it could obviously just have been a trick of the drone’s speed combined with the camera field of view just making it look like it whizzed under a chunk of red hot lava... which is still neat camera work... but it would be so much more awesome if it wasn’t just a camera effect and it actually did fly through between erupting chunks of lava.

Drone pilot got really lucky with that fly past. Very risky, the reward was a great shot though.

Amazing shot - I wonder what a thermal image would look like of the same scene. Must be pretty hot flying over top of that lava.
