I’m new to this but have been experimenting with MVA. Maybe turn off GPS ? As you fly near/around or under structures you run the risk of loosing a gps satellite signal (or more), the Mavic looses its orientation and may try to “correct” its position, then you run the risk of “bye-bye Birdie” ...

2 story house is on a hill with the roof and the vent pipes out of view at the sloping away ground level, also, he comes by at around 6 :15 am so, I’d have to run out in my robe and down a hill to see him for the shot. BB gun( rifle with a scope) would be best, but death of the bird so I can...

Nice job!

Okay, an update, last things first: 1. Idle mode, what is the battery drain rate when the drone is setup, powered on, connected to controller and ready to fly? This turns out to be about 1%/minute drain rate with 4K video enabled and obstinate avoidence turned off but gps on and using 2.4ghz...

Gas fireplaces (2)

Do you know if anyone has tested the battery life or drain rate while the MA is activated and just waiting for a launch command?

Not sure of the area where the birds are but typically, birds don’t like things flying around that are bigger then they are. I would recommend a $5 shiny Mylar helium balloon ... on a long string tied to something on the ground that would keep it from flying away. It should be at a height that...
