birds

THIS IS A SCREEN CAPTURE OF THE VIDEO I WAS TAKING AT THE TIME. I paused the video on this frame, did a screen capture, imported into photoshop, saved it as a jpg, and uploaded it here.

While in Kansas City I captured footage of the Kansas City Terminal roundhouse. While doing so, a flock of birds repeatedly flew around my drone and got braver each time completely surrounding my drone twice. You can see this during the first minute of the video. I figured if they don't run...

While recording a video, I noticed that many small birds were flying around my drone, I was scared they will touch the propellers and take the drone down. It is not likely, but possible.

Here are the bids trying to catch a tasty treat of Ooligan fish on the Skeena River

Noticed so many birds flying around the house, took off to get some shots ;)

Hi, I had an interesting encounter with the birds: when MM was having poor signal due to the distance and interference, I was lucky enough to click on video recording. Than for some dozen of seconds connection was interrupted, so the drone stopped and hovered... which attracted his flying...

This was filmed using Mavic 2 Pro and an Osmo Pocket. Hand graded in FCPX. I thought it would be a good idea to add some sound effects of nature to a company this beautiful music. It's only my second attempt at adding sound effects and I'm really pleased with the result. I invite you all to...

I have had my Mavic Pro 2 for two weeks and at least half the time I fly, it is attracting several birds, to the point of one bumping it from behind knocking it around (Scary!) Anybody else having this issue?

A short drone film I have made recently of birds of prey searching for food with the DJI Mavic Pro! Please give it a watch it you have a spare 2 mins. Appreciate all feedback :) (P.S. I know it's not color graded, my laptop froze and for that day wouldn't allow me to retner Premiere Pro so had...

I've decided to take this video off YouTube due to concern that it might encourage others to do what I never intended to do--bother the birds. Thanks for all your comments. Being inexperienced, and not having read all the posts about disastrous Bird Strikes, I flew among a huge flock of Snow...

Check out what happened when a flock of snow geese flew right at my Mavic Pro. These birds weigh over 5 pounds. I hovered in place, hoping they'd be able to dodge the drone, but ... When all was said and done, the Mavic was fine, and I got some amazing footage.

A cover of waterbirds from an unusual perspective :-) This is our first complete short film made with a drone. Any constructive criticism is welcome. The music was composed by Monica Xiao. Check out her other compositions too.

This was my first encounter with a large bird of prey. He was obviously curious about the Magic Pro. After the first pass by me, he started to get more aggressive. The flight ended swiftly in an effort to not aggravate the Hawk further or run the risk of being taken down. The film footage is...

Morning River flight.

How high is the risk of bird collisions? I was flying over a wetland area when suddenly this appeared: It happened a second time a few seconds later. Given the wide field of view of the camera, they must have been pretty close. I freaked out and went straight up immediately. How dangerous...

Please check all that apply. An Act of God/Nature: Birds, some freak accident that was NOT pilot error OR DJI malfunction. Major damage: Something besides basic prop replacement was required. An actual repair was required by you or someone else DJI Malfunction: Clearly a problem with the...

just finished a heart pounding flight home after I had a small flock of barn swallows doing fake-out nose dives at my mavic, some passing within meters of my gimbal. I figure I'd flown over a nesting area and promptly gtfo. Just thought I'd gather people's thoughts or experiences with upsetting...

Hello to all.. I said it before and i say it again, i love flying above water. Long story short.. About a month ago i tried filming a small nearby island about 1.2 km away from beach. As i approached i saw dozens of birds laying around. When i finally reached the island i stopped and turned...

A while back I was out in the country flying near a couple of bridges. As I flew, dozens of swallows came out from under the bridges and starting swirling around my Mavic. Here's the video... music is "Pioneers" by Audionautix. Unfortunately iMovie deleted my title and I didn't notice until...
