My drone decided to land in a client's pool during a property shoot
It was a $1,200 listing video in Tempe last Tuesday, and the thing just dropped out of the sky like a rock. Anyone have a good drone repair guy who won't laugh at me?

Honestly that's on you for flying near a pool. Water messes with the sensors and everyone knows that. You should've planned the shots better to keep a safe distance. It's basic drone safety, not just bad luck. Maybe use this as a lesson to check the manual on flight conditions next time.

Guess I learned that lesson the hard way last summer. Tried to film my kid's cannonball and the drone just nosedived right into the deep end. Had to fish it out with a pool net, and it never really worked the same after that. Who reads the manual when you're just trying to get a cool shot, right?

Yeah the "never really worked the same" part is so real... I read this whole article about how even a little water messes up the internal boards over time, like corrosion keeps spreading. Sorry that happened, @blair_torres70. My cousin's drone got caught in sprinkler mist and the camera got all foggy inside forever.
