Flying the DJI Avata Drone Thru a Playground & Around an Unexpected Water Geyser? 2nd Time Flying

Earlier today, while helping out with a bicycle ride event, somebody accidentally ran over an unprotected sprinkler head & set off this huge geyser of water into the air. It started flooding the area, causing volunteers to need to move the covered tent, chairs and vehicles that were getting wet. The wind shifted while I was flying my drone, causing me to stand in a soft mist of rain. Electronics and rain is not a good combination.

So I jumped in my rental van and relocated while the Drone patiently waited. and then I finished flying through the playground area and only bumped one of the bars once.

We made a joke about The Beverly Hillbillies and the Clampetts drilling for oil, but only getting water.

Eventually the maintenance people figured out how to turn the water off in the sprinkler system, without also shutting down water to the entire facility.

This short clip was edited on my Android phone using Filmora Go software. I am still learning how to use this new software for me, and maybe I'll figure out how to add music one day as well. I normally use the desktop version of this software, so the Android version is a little bit different.
