I always wondered if they calculate their glides and the slope or they just yolo it

One's I've seen are pretty well planned out. The one that wasn't...the flying squirrel ended up a smudge on the side of a bridge. If I remember correctly, he hit it going over 200mph. Oh, he was also wearing a GoPro and you can watch it from his POV.

That's a pretty badass endorsement for gopro if it can survive smashing into something at over 200mph. Is that what Nokia got in to after phones?

I don't think it survived. If I remember correctly the SD card survived.

Yeah I found a similar thing, 2 years ago I saw a tiny plastic thing about 18 feet down in a lake, when I pulled it out of the mud I saw 4 props from a drone. The SD card survived, and I used reverse image search to find a town in Mass, and a bunch of beaches in Maine they flew the drone. I gave my phone number and the serial# to DJI, and they were kind enough to pass it to the drone owner. I mailed the SD card back so they got their vacation movies back. It motivated me to get a drone.

And I just now realized my DJI Avata2 uses internal storage, so maybe I should get it to write to SD card as well just in case lol
