DJI Phantom Out Of A Boat While Traveling To Iquitos Peru

Apr 29, 2014
It was a bit of a nerve-racking experience to fly the DJI phantom over the "water streets" of Belen in Iquitos, Peru. There is no dry ground to take off or land the quadcopter, so we launched it from a boat. To make it more difficult, there are power lines everywhere that had to be avoided and because the rainy season just ended, the region is flooded. This means that there is little room between the power lines and the ground to work with. Nerves aside, everything went very well. The footage is being used in a story about work that Operation Blessing is doing in the region. This video was sent from the GoPro to my iPhone and quickly edited using the iMovie app.
