A professional photographer who captures amazing images with his drone almost lost his prized tool to the ocean.

Ryan Chatfield is a photographer and filmmaker based in Perth, Australia. While using his drone to record footage of the beach and ocean, the drone went wayward, heading straight for the ocean.

Chatfield is seen in the video footage running to catch up with the drone, climbing over rocks until at the very last second, he grabs hold of the drone just before it hits the water.

The video has generated over a million page views on YouTube.
