You'll likely damage (but not fully break) a prop or two, but I wouldn't expect much else. Unless you're less than 10m up, the drone will recover just fine. I guess if the bird was big enough, it might manage to break an arm. I had a goose attack one of my 5" FPV quads a while back, which is...

I bought my Mini in October, and have no desire to upgrade to a Mini 2. Yes, there are a few more features, but not enough to justify what it would cost me to do so. As it stands, if someone were to want to buy a new drone, I'd recommend the Mini 2 over the Mavic Mini only because the price...

I want to vouch for OP's character. Due to the time zone difference, I went to bed last night around 3:30am my time, before he was able to visit the shipper; I went ahead and sent him more than enough to cover shipping costs - 70 EUR - after confirming with him that he would return any unused...

Yeah, this is really important for new operators especially, but also for anyone with new equipment. I always make it a point to plan for and practice my emergency plans, even going to the point of purposefully doing things like flying to the opposite end of an open field and turning off the...

Based only on the video, I think there were two problems going on: the downward vision sensor were on over water, and it was too cold. I flew my Mini yesterday, in about 14F/-10C weather. The sky was clear and there was no snow, but I definitely noticed a lack of throttle response and was...

I just sent you a rather long email about this - the bottom line is while you seem very suspicious, I don't think you're a scam. I think we're all just jaded from having to deal with so many actual scammers online. I trust you. I completely understand why others wouldn't, and that's fine too...

We’ll see - I sent them money for shipping, and their details are consistent with the information I found doing my due diligence. If it’s a scam, I’ll let you know, but I don’t think so.

I’ve responded via email with (I believe) all of the information you’ve requested. Note that my account name here was chosen before I settled on a name for my business, so the card says “Ascend Photography” instead. Let me know how I can pay for shipping and such. If I’m the lucky respondent...

The worst I’ve experienced thus far flying wasn’t bad at all. I was making a video at a cemetery in our area known for its fall colors, and there were several small groups of people out walking at the time. That’s fine, and I did all I could to make sure that I wasn’t in their way and to keep...
