A very popular video circulating the moment shows what can happen when amateur operators are let loose on the world. An embarrassing moment with no harm done and the video was posted at the request of the couple concerned. The operator in question, WeddingMan123 owns up:
Ok so here’s the story. This was shot using a DJI Phantom and a gopro camera. This was two days before the wedding at their bridal shoot. This happened towards the beginning. I had done one successful fly by and I brought it around for another pass to make sure it was smooth. I underestimated the lift time and it hit the groom on the side of the face. He had a cut on his cheek and and the side of his head. I felt horrible. Luckily the bride and groom were able to laugh about it after and we continued the shoot. At the request of the bride and groom I put the video online. All though it sucks that this happened. I have decided to own up to what I did, instead of try to hide it from the world.
