Had my first and hopefully last branch run in today. Took the Mavic out for a quick flight to grab some pictures of guys working on my pool build. Brought it back over my house and was going to land on the front sidewalk. Decided to bring in down to head level in my yard instead of just getting over sidewalk and landing. I then didn't pay enough attention and ran into a smaller tree's outer branches that were bare of leaves. It wobbled a bit and worked to recover and I was able to pull away. Mavic handled it like a champ and recovered itself. Only damage was to one propeller. Thankfully I bought the Fly More package so I have 4 to spare.

Lesson learned.... Pay more attention.

I've noticed that a lot of blade damage is on the trailing side of the blade. I wonder if it is caused by the other blade catching up it.
