Great white shark bites boat as drone pilot goes to catch drone as battery is almost out.
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor Douglas Thron is one of the top commercial drone pilots in California. He was doing some drone filming for a Discovery Channel show on sharks in California when a couple of great white sharks showed up. With his battery running low, he decided to take the risk of losing his drone in the water in order to get the "killer" (no pun intended) footage of one of the sharks trying to take a chomp on the boat. It makes for some memorable viewing, as you'll see in this video.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:
Filming this past winter for Discovery channel these large great whites. Drone was up and only had little battery left when sharks showed up so wanted to get as much action footage as possible so kept drone up till last possible seconds. Great white gives an investigative bite to the boat as was trying to catch drone and only had one chance to catch it as was flying it or another pass would have probably resulted in battery dying and drone dropping into water.
