Yesterday I uploaded the drone footage of the erupting volcano (https://imgur.com/gallery/wjLMmro) and someone complained that it wasn't 'explosive enough'. OK, my bad, here's another one. Is this better?
Bonus flythroughs (some drones didn't make it).
And one more thing. Someone asked me in the comments if drones somehow hurt local wildlife. I think this video answers that question. There is no wildlife.

That first fly through video, about 15 seconds in. Did that lava bubble popping kill that drone?

Great work. Truly amazing images.

lol, the only wildlife that is crazy enough to get near an active volcano are humans.

Iceland is getting ready to erupt again, massive seismic activity for the last 48 hours.

Looks like I left at the right time, then (2 weeks vacay in Iceland)

If there’s anything I’ve learned from the movies, if a dinosaur falls in it will sink the entire lost world!

#1 I see a dragon. Does anyone else?

That first one would make an excellent VTT map for DnD.

#1 I like to imagine the drone is flying higher trying to outrun the explosion instead of already being high up and zooming out.
SindarElla
Right, like the drone is thinking "oh shit oh shit oh shit" as it goes higher!

#3 It actually looks like a child's drawing of a volcano!

Ahem. Exo geologist here. The first one was really quite enough, considering the temperature of rock to glow is about 3000F. \

When recording shots like this, is the footage transmitted, or recorded on a drive on the craft?
rigello
The drone operator needs to see what the drone sees. So SOMETHING is transmitted. But I'm not sure about the quality.

Must have been Michael Bay complaining about your first post. That was freaking beautiful.

I would never stand that close to an active volcano. I have seen Mt. St. Helens.

Is this Iceland?
rigello
Yes.

I mean, yeah, it’s definitely explosive. I guess. Hey, could you get a vid with more yellow in it? Less orange? I really like yellow.
RTK4740
Kidding. That was insanely gorgeous. Wow.
rigello
I'll ask Icelanders to throw lots of pumpkins in. Anything for your pleasure!

"There is no wildlife." Because of the drones?
rigello
Exactly! They scared away all the... frogs... and *shrugs* penguins?

No, but he’s (Bennett) under a bit of pressure.

You assumed correct.

Amazing shots.! "Some drones didn't make it" - not a shock! I'm amazed the drone in the 1st 1 didn't melt. Do you protect them in any way?
Spooner1
OP is not the videographer
rigello
I've posted a twitter link, you can ask the guy who took this videos directly. I personally have no idea.

They have fans on them to keep them cool.

The ones I've seen have just taken a regular mavic 2 out. But you can protect against rocks in propellers.

Wonder how a racing drone might do. The components are more exposed, but the frame is carbon fiber and max ventilated.

Your main issue is lava solidifying and finding a blade. The same person also used an fpv. I know next to nothing about drones.
TheBlueMuppet
Blades can take a pretty good hit, and with the heat they'll actually be more compliant. I'd say the main issue is just heat. Maaaaybe EMI.
