SEA SPRAY | DJI Avata Low Coastal FPV Drone Flight

This video is all about flying an fpv drone as low as possible over salt water at the beach. For this flight I decided to use the DJI Avata. This is my most expensive fpv drone, but it's also the only fpv drone I have with insurance that would [hopefully] cover any resulting damage from exposure to salt water from the ocean during a risky / dangerous / stupid flight like this. I don't think drones float, so I would have been out of luck if I crashed the drone in the water.

The drone definitely came back pretty wet with salt water from breaking waves and constant sea spray. So far, I haven't noticed any adverse effects on the drones performance or general operation.

For anyone wondering, I had the mounted GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini set to record at 5.3K 30FPS using the Hero 11's huge 8:7 aspect ratio. I used an ND16 filter with a locked 1/60 shutter speed to achieve the motion blur effect I was looking for. ReelSteady was used in post for its signature, buttery smooth video stabilization.
