How To Fly Your Drone Into A Waterfall

A drone operator skilfully crashes this drone into a series of waterfalls in Shizuoka, Japan. RIP Phantom 4!

Waterfalls are downright awesome. That is unless you’re going over one! But from the ground, the sheer power of millions of gallons of water blasting over a chunk of earth is something to behold. But once you get a drone involved, you get a visual experience that is second to none. That is why waterfalls are such a popular display for drone pilots to capture. They rarely disappoint!

But aside from the breathtaking views, this video has something more to offer, and it's beyond hilarious. The guy that captures the truly unique beauty of these waterfalls proves quite clumsy with the drone, and this really had us in stitches! Check out how he manages to keep track, but just seconds later, his maneuvering skills once again prove to be disastrous!

Shiraito Falls is a waterfall in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, near Mount Fuji, Japan. It is part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and has been protected since 1936 as a Japanese Natural Monument.

The falls were regarded as sacred under the Fuji cult. Another waterfall, the Otodome Falls is approximately a five-minute walk away.

The Shiraito Falls is listed as one of "Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls", in a listing published by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment in 1990. It was also selected by the Tokyo Nichi Nichi Shimbun and Osaka Mainichi Shimbun as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan in 1927. In 2013 the waterfall was added to the World Heritage List as part of the Fujisan Cultural Site.
