bird attack

While flying out along the California Coast yesterday, I had a black oystercatcher attack my drone. See the following YouTube link for a short video with some frame grabs of the incident: For a few seconds I thought it was going to go swimming, but it recovered and I was able to bring it...

Birds fear and flee from fire. The dazzling golden holographic skin of my drone, Bertie, flashes hues of red and orange, as if on fire. It's intended to alarm an approaching bird, and make it break away to safety. The photo and video only suggest the extreme visual impact of Golden Bertie in...

So I was flying today to do a roof inspection. Its a old factory that parts of the roof have been blowing off. They are landing on cars and I need to send the owner an order to repair. The roof is not safe so my mavic was used. In the past I had no issues with my old P4 or Q500+. When I got to...
