Banda Sea - found a drone

[drone-diver]

Went on a dive trip to the Banda Sea. Great flying but a few scary moments ...

Attacked by a sea eagle but survived. Then found a Mavic underwater while diving. Probably taken out by the same eagle.

those are some lovely photos, are they YOURS or from the found (drowned)mavic?

I have a movie of the eagle attack but cannot upload just yet. Here are some stills.

Photos are mine - my drone survived. Here are some shots of the drone we found about 15m underwater ....

Was great being able to fly to max altitude and out over 2.5km with zero interference. One very scary moment when my return to home point was set on our yacht, but we started moving and the drone could not catch up to land. Then low battery and tried to fly back to our original position. Boat stopped and landed safe.

Tried to read the micro ad card in the drowned drone but no luck.

Took evasive action - swing right and up but I think the obstacle avoidance did most of the work. If I could show the video you could see ... Aldo noticed some eagle wings in earlier clips during the same day.

My mavics still photos look like a Fisher Price toy took them. How the heck you get yours looking that good??

Were you able to copy files from the drowned Mavic's SD card? If you were able to copy a video file - but it was unplayable (corrupted) - then I have (free) software that might be able to repair it: Repairing Corrupt DJI Video Files

That Mavic hadn't been in the ocean too long when you found it. No marine growth yet.
