Right around :53 seconds, you'll see a little dot on top of the screen with an arrow pointing at the photographer who is far from where this drone has lost power and is dropping to the ocean.  Talk about a long sprint and good catch at the end!  He get's the drone MVP!

I would have been winded at half of that distance.  This is a good video to watch and be mindful of when flying.

I had to watch this 2 times, but now I see that guy running from a distance.  Good job for him.  Great save!
