That are many speculations as to what could happen if a quadcopter, aka "drone", used in kiteboarding aerial footage recording, collided with a kite in mid-air... well, we have one of the possible scenarios on camera. Neither the kite or drone suffered any damage even though the drone came really close to crashing before self-re-stabilizing a few feet above the water and following a 50 feet altitude drop induced by the collision.

Quadcopter: DJI Phantom vs Kite: Ozone Zephyr 17m.
