A Texas filmmaker delighted a crowd of African children when he visited their small village in the Zombo District of northern Uganda and showed them his DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone.
Brandon Smith posted the video footage on YouTube and Facebook, showing the crowd of kids screaming, cheering and chasing the small drone into the hills, which he says was their first time seeing such a device.
"The students loved it and kept asking for more once the drone landed," he told Mashable. "Though excited and curious, some of the children were also nervous as they had never seen or even heard of drones before. I quickly became a village celebrity; the locals would even make buzzing drone-like noises whenever walking past me on the streets!"
He says he was in northwestern Uganda filming with a non-profit that was teaching about hygiene and personal/community health.
