Close encounter with a ... cable

[tino.v]

I was lucky that day, while I was recording the workflow of a crossing in my neighbourhood.
I almost hit a (for me invisible) cable of a crane.

At least it didn't get you & you know to look around carefully now.

That was close! Power lines and telephone lines are another similar hazard to be aware of. horizontal wires can be difficult to spot in time, either directly or via the camera feed.

It can also be extremely difficult to judge their position relative to the drone until the two are quite close to one another.
