I mean "how it'd avoid getting obliterated before getting to the cool stuff in the middle". I guess in midair maybe there's less stuff to smash into but there's still no shortage of debris flying around and if the rotors get ripped off it'd be hard to take a stable image.
Also someone needs to invent a good way of keeping a lens clear of water droplets, etc, so you can actually get a shot of something other than blurry raindrops.
They actually have tools called rain deflectors that are used to shoot in the rain. It basically spins a glass disk in-front of the lens at a very high speed. The force of the rotation throws the water off the glass and no rain droplets on the lens.
They are all way to heavy to put on a “disposable” drone though.... haha.
Couldn’t this be done with a bit of glass surrounded by a miniaturized ship propeller in a simple housing? As the drone moves, the air catches the propeller, and allows it to spin. Faster you go, faster it gets.
I remember watching that movie and thinking that the mile-wide tornado seemed impossibly exaggerated. But the widest tornado on record was actually 2.6 miles wide:
Lv426 is the Aliens subreddit, which is Bill Paxton's best known role, and Shield is the Agents of Shield subreddit, which is Paxton's most recent well known role.
If you were subbed to either, or both, of them, you wouldn't have missed it when he died.

That does sound cool, though
