This is the story of our trial run that metata with the fishing dropper tool and what happened at the end rather a sad ending unfortunately it was done of course with the Phantom DJI Phantom 3 standard which came to us from Ferntech complete with the fish dropper and it was held at Metata's camping ground which is a beautiful camping ground down by the sea and we went there in our trusty compass rembler caravan that you can see now it was a lovely weekend and we did have lots of nice weather thank goodness although we did have one drop of rain that's the DJI Phantom and it's box now that is a diorama real the electric reel that we've chosen to use to withdraw the line and as you'll see from the picture they put a small ring in the end which that's what the sinker hangs by and it fits into the slot in the base of the Phantom I've spent this up so you can get the idea obviously you know how possibly how the Phantom propellers go on and also the setting of the compass make sure everything was right and just fitting the hook into the little slide at the bottom of the Phantom now we're going along the beach and I chose to do it along the beach because I wasn't sure whether there was any knots in the line and I wanted to make sure that if it did jerk to a halt all of a sudden and bring the drone down it came down on sand rather than in the water now we're coming up towards the dropping point at this stage just over 200 meters away from where I was standing and we'll be panning the camera down in a moment so you can see the splash into the sand you will see the sinker wobbling a little bit at the bottom of the picture you'll see the very very briefly you'll see the sinker drop and hit the sand and there it went as I said it was a beautiful day it was about a meter swell my partner taking the dog for a walk who was with his all the way throughout and he was Frankie not my partner but the dog it is a girl dog I just took it up the beach a little way and back again because I was playing around with the camera I'm not used to the camera yet and as you can see a little bit jerky and far too quick on the turn round so we're back now looking up the beach towards Fokatani which is probably about 12 to 15 minutes drive away from where the camp is at Matata the Benadiside into Garb and little right in the very distance on the horizon you can see the east Cape area of New Zealand they're a little bit blue hills there it is a rather pretty sight that's my little caravan down there so the other side of the bus on the edge of the wetlands that's Matata in the background and these are the little ponds that they have at the back which are tidal and Matata is a beautiful town and the people there are very friendly grey fish and chips there too at aunties and uncles another pond you can see in the distance way l island just out from Fokatani now there there was white island but you couldn't see it on that day it was a little bit misty on the horizon well back in the camping ground now and you can see the wetlands and the lack of people it was a very quiet weekend bed for a lovely stay in actual fact there's a road right down the base of those cliffs there which is called Matata Strait and it's lovely and straight very good for those sort of faster cars we seem to see a lot of these days another view of the wetlands and our next door neighbours from the caravan site they came down to see what I was doing with the drone this was a crash and unfortunately the wind caught the wire or the braid and blew it into the propellers caused a little bit of consternation and a little bit of language which I haven't left in for you and that's all there is to it hope you enjoyed it if you do like it give me a thumbs up sign thank you bye for now
