One drone down! The moment a football collides head-on with a camera-mounted quadcopter

A new video shows a drone being taken down from the sky by a well-aimed football.



The clip, uploaded by Conor Fernandez from Barnstable County, Massachusetts, sees the camera mounted quadcopter flying over a beach as two young men play football below.

Then, as one of the sportsmen spots it in motion, he rears up and manages to smash it head-on with the ball.

Mr Fernandez said that he managed to retrieve his drone but it was left damaged.

It is not clear if he knew the football player who took it down and where he was controlling it from.
