I headed west away from the city to try and photograph some landscapes...from a birds eye view. After about 5 minutes of flying and trying to compose a shot, the low battery warning came on. I knew I had a couple more minutes left and I still didn't get a shot off yet so I kept it in the air. Then the panic began as the "Critically Low Battery" popped up and the drone went into auto safe mode, descending the drone straight down...down into the forest about a few hundred feet away from where I stood. My heart was pounding and my mind was already visually running through the woods. I magically took it out of auto mode and regained control of it just before it fell below the tree line...lesson learned. Last image is from our Lake Tahoe trip.
