The X500 model promised ultra HD 4k video and 12 megapixel photos even in low light conditions. As he charged and configured the drone, Jonathan’s anticipation built. He decided today would be the perfect inaugural flight to test it out. Ominous gray thunder clouds were gathering over the bay, and weather reports warned of a powerful oncoming storm.

Because what the drone’s camera ended up recording was something he could never have guessed – or the tricky situation it would cause.
