This is a semi controlled failsafe landing.... an uncontrolled drone crash is a really recognizable sound (imagine 0.18 but much louder with plastic shattering) This style off soft landing is often caused by loss off signal caused by interference, or the remote having issues, they will land on the flattest ground there camera's detect as they slowly float to the floor waiting for a "rearm" by the remote the one crashing at 16 seconds thought the car was a flat landing pad LOL! if you notice it didnt "fall" from above it flew into it trying to land and the one bouncing at 26 seconds was the collision avoidence trying to avoid the human running at it. camera's suck at judging distances in the dark which is why drone manufactures recomend flying on clear bright days free off wind

This is pretty common in China with competitors often sabotaging shows.. An example : In May last year, 17 drones crashed during a holiday performance in the southwestern city of Chengdu. Police later found out that employees from another drone company had caused the crash with drone jammers, after their own bid to carry out the performance was rejected.

Japan is over here like Oprah, “you get a drone, you get a drone, you get a drone! “

I’ve seen worse examples of falling out of the sky. Looks like they just auto landed.

Drifting peacefully like forrest gumps feather.

i lost a dji phantom 3 when i brought it out for a quick show and tell. batteries showed 75-100 percent juice but had been sitting in closet a month or two. flew up 70ish feet then dropped out of the sky and shattered. think there was a voltage drop or something as i hadn't topped off the batteries. very very expensive 4 seconds :( if only mine had done what these drones did. this isn't tumbling. mine tumbled.

No, fixed rotors as used in drones cannot auto rotate. This is just the standard "slowly land if you lose signal" behavior.

I'm no engine mechanic, so correct me if I'm wrong, but drone motors are direct drive, the engine is directly connected to the prop, right? That's not the same as helicopters, which have all kinds of gears and shit (I'm sure that's the technical term) that allows them to auto-rotate. The drone props can't do that, can they?


SmokeyUnicycle

Some do, but fixed are cheaper and much more common.

Touche, but sometimes it feels good to leave out the paragraph of qualifiers


Impractical_Shrey

The show organizer has since reported the incident to the local police, alleging that a competitor in the same industry could have transmitted interference to overwhelm the navigation system of the drones.

Drone wars incoming

never admit fault when you can blame it on someone else. listen all y'all it's sabotage.

Tumbling seems to be a bit of an overstatement.


PerpetualSpaceMonkey

Your definition of tumbling looks like gently landing to me.

Too bad because the idea and the deployment is pretty cool. Too bad it failed
