On one hand we have the world just waiting for a good reason to shove more drone regulations down into DJI and 3DR thoughts (apologies for the other companies, you’ll get some regulations too). On the other hand, it seems that GoPro just wants to party. And what better way than to hit the dance floor on burning man. Then again, is this all one big setup?
The GoPro seems to have fell from a drone that was capturing some views of the festival. In a chain of coincidences 1. the GoPro falls of the drone 2. hit the floor where it does not break to pieces 3. hits no one on the head to kill them 4. found by a young man that does not check any of the settings or even what it is 5. gets carried into the dance floor to capture some awesome rave and finally 6. returned to its rightful owners and gets uploaded to youtube.
Now I am not saying this is all just one elaborate setup, but you have to admit that this is one heck of coincidence. Judge for yourself.

well played gopro.
controlled spin during falling
Faked as hell. They have all kinds of rules for drones and photography that this would have violated.
What’s so fake about it?
Haha rules ? The main rule of Burning Man is “safety third” or “keep Burning Man dangerous” !
(But yeah other than that I think you’re right, it has been dropped on purpose for the video, just a little bit outside of the dance floor)
same as not smoking weed in these events …. really that is all you can come up with
??? LMAO! you really need a tequila shot man and ease a little. :-)
How about the fact the a falling object would likely smash someone in the head or even if it was a direct impact with the ground would probably break. The other option is it is not one complete video and different segments put together for the final.
Fake
Dude Where the Hell is this party?
You’ve never heard of Burning Man?! Google is your friend, my friend.
who cares !?
way way way cool!!!!
If it was a coincidence wow freaking awesome… if it was not… genius is the only word. Did any big sponsor see this??? This team need to be hired under contract like yesterday.
Most of you clearly don’t know much about GoPros or Burning Man. GoPros routinely survive drops from tens of thousands of feet and keep on filming. People at Burning Man fly drones overhead all the time, rules be damned. Finally ask any Burner what they’d do if they saw a GoPro fall from the sky and they’d do exactly what this guy did, and then try to find the owner.
