Took my mini down to a local ravine yesterday hoping to get some nice footage slowly following a small stream from 3 to 5 metres above the surface (I really like the low altitude shots over fields, orchards, waterways, etc.).
Unfortunately clipped a branch and shut down instantly, doing a great swan dive into the one part of the stream that was more than a few weeks niches deep.
Retrieved within a few minutes, dried out overnight and now it’s in at my local DJI dealership to see it it’s going to survive.
Wish I had the footage at least but it was a trial run with video off.
I’m guessing it might be OK as it started right up and lifted off this morning in the back yard, hovered just fine but it kept losing the WiFi connection to the remote.
Beginners luck!
We’ll see how things turn out next week.
