Although my missed opportunity was before i had my Mavic, so was back then using the Spark.
We'd gone to the coast for a long weekend at our static, nothing much there except for the camp site, beach and farmers fields.
We decided to go for a long beach walk, it was just turning dusk so I decided to take the drone along.
Setup about half mile down the beach as usual, I always watch my drone to a set hover height before looking at the display screen to alter anything before doing what I intend to do. At this point my wife was shouting "oh my god, what is that", i looked over to her and she was looking up towards the drone, by the time I looked at the drone a huge barn owl was flying away! "That'll look amazing on film" she said as it had flown up from the field, hovered in front and then circled the drone before flying away......"Yeah it would have if it was filming".....absolutely gutted, I'd not been filming as I'd only just launched and was doing checks.
So that's my missed opportunity, just wondered if anyone had similar stories?
