    Sensors saved me from BIRDS.

    Credit to DJI. The front sensing sensors work on birds passing by close. **** flock nearly trashed my Mavic while on holiday in Portugal. Extreme close. I was shaking aftwards. They had 3 passes. I'd say within a meter. Wow.

    Had my first encounter with a flock of birds

    Near miss flock of doves / Water purification plant

    Close call with birds

    I've noticed that some birds don't exactly appreciate the presence of my Mavic. So far I've had one close call with birds dive bombing the Mavic while in flight. This resulted in me having to act quickly to bring it home and land to avoid them as they were getting too aggressive and there were...
