Yes buddy. You’ve been lucky...or maybe be it’s just me?. I can tell you this much- my drone insurance is pretty good- $500 got me a new drone...vs $1500. I even turned around and re-bought the insurance for the replacement. I’m sure I will have some sort of catastrophe someday, again.

You may want to reconsider the “...wouldn’t worry about seagulls” part. Crows attacked my Mavic Pro 2, crashing and destroying it. Know your environment and pertinent variables therein. For instance- do you know much about the behavior of seagulls and territorial behavior? I don’t. Here is...

Found it!!! Now let’s see if my new puppet will get replaced thanks to Geek Squad insurance!

FOUND IT! Looks a little beat up to fly. I think I’ll use my drone in puppet shows now. Thank god for Geek Squad Insurance. I’ll let y’all know how that turns out.

And after all...it is springtime?‍♂️

Thanks for that! Dang. I wish I had thought of that. I did buy full coverage drone insurance, but the one requirement for the coverage is the drone must be sent in; I can’t find mine. I was standing in the last Ping location; nowhere to be found. So this has turned into a serious drone...

If I find it- I will post!

No. The crow just flew directly at it and seemed to just punch it out if the air sending it into a death spiral. The crow flew off laughing, I’m sure?

No, it’s s crow. They were circling at first...just observing. The next day they became emboldened and were all about attack. It was crazy.

Don’t fly your drones near crows. Just not a good idea. $1500 gone. Drone crashed in deep brush. Finally found and stood on last know location. It is now gone. Get a GPS transponder with strobe and distress alarm to track your drone in these types of situations. Thanks
