Flying drone near the phantom 3

Arce101 · Apr 14, 2019

Yesterday i went to the beach to fly and beside being nervous bc of all the seagulls flying around there was a guy flying his phantom 3 or 4 can signals get interference flying close to another drone? Do you think seagulls will actually attack it I saw them flying in pretty close but never touched the drone just wondering if a seagulls could actually take down the mavic 2

Don't know about seagulls but stay away from eagles

There should be no problems with signals flying close to the phantom and seagulls can definitely take down a drone.

Wedge-Tailed eagles are the most aggressive raptors, I have heard. Not available outside of Australia.

I have flown my Phantom 4 Pro and my Mavic 2 together many times. Sometimes within a few feet. No problems.

I was flying with my son (first time not long after I got mine), my MP, his P4.
We both took off, flew ok, but as we came back mine was 100% ok, his started to go crazy, no control, came down and had a slight crash, no damage thankfully, but we never fly same time since that happened.
We were about 5m (16') apart on the ground I guess.

It MAY have been something else, but he has never had this before or since, it did seem like interference of his signal.

I would just use caution and keep a little distance between for safety.
