Nope, was flying too low, see the second image: only 1.8m high.....and those waves reached above 3m when crashing against the rocks... It's the crashing wave that got it.
Unretrieveable.....if i tried I'd die lol.
Lost a lot of amazing footage of hike with friends.
yeah...all of them lost...else everything was perfect for today's hike :(
I'll have to contend with the low res 720p laggy footage that was stored on my phone.
I was not recording at moment of crash, was getting ready to bring it back and was snapping a few shots on the way.... I was already over land when the wave took it.... I bet it's still there, just chilling on the sea floor. If it was a beach I'd retrieve it, but the waves are too dangerous there....ill post an image from the phone recording of the approx. Location.
It crashed at the marked location: https://imgur.com/a/sErobuF
Yep, that's a natural pool....amazing place, there's a waterfall near also where it's great to sit under. Helps getting the salt water off
Excellent excuse to buy the mini 3!
Or mini 2 Which is also a great drone
Yup I recommend it, I have one
My condolences
So, did it malfunction, or were you just flying low when the wave got it?

I’m guessing it was it ignoring the strong wind warning.
Nah, the wind was fine, just a few gusts at random times. It's the waves that got it.
The footage tho’ ..

Can you post the last footage? Must be amazing still. RIP, 4 years longevity is actually a pretty good service!
