A beautiful flight over the ocean in Newport Beach, CA ends with a surprise. The sunset was glorious and the waves were spectacular as I flew my drone around this arch rock when suddenly it crashed into a tree and was left hanging off a 30-foot cliff. I quickly ran down the rocky beach towards where it had disappeared. I couldn't see it, but I was able to climb up the cliff and out on some tree branches and eventually found it. The drone was undamaged, and I carefully climbed all the way down again carrying it back to safety. This was using a DJI Phantom 3 consumer camera drone.
