I managed to crash my drone flying inside this space – the old freezing works at Tokomaru Bay… Luckily it crash landed in a tree, about six foot above a flowing stream! Broken flex cable, better than a wet drone any day…
Its a beautiful space to be in – the dappled light… but also bleak AF, as I imagine that stream ran with blood when the freezing works was operating..
The freezing works connected to the wharf at Tokomaru Bay via a short railway line, for exporting…
Shoutout & huge thanks to Grant at The Drone Depot in Auckland, who did a rush job for me, fixing the broken flex cable (tiny ribbon cable connecting each of the gimbals motors with the controller board)
Highly recommended for drone purchase & service.
