Mavic Air and birds

[mavicn00b]

Here is a shot of a big boy coming in for the kill but changed his mind for some reason. Didn’t realize it even happened until I was home reviewing video.

Probably didn't want to get chopped up by the propellers.

A buddy had his Mavic P taken to the ground here in Alaska by an Osprey. The MP landed on soft tundra so wasn’t damaged but he was lucky.

I've posted this before, but here it is again in case there are new users that have not seen it. Here is my P3A knocked out of the sky by at least one red-tailed hawk. I found out by later revisits to the same area they had a nest at the top of a large tree nearby.

There must be a connection between the sound the air produces and the birds being attracted as when flying with a friend who owns a pro platinum, it was easy to see the favourite aircraft of the birds that were harassing us [emoji53]

Yes, I just had my Mavic Pro attacked by a bird called a Night Hawk or sometimes referred to as a Bull Bat. It’s a bird about the size of a dove but it’s a fly catcher it’s really good at getting flying insects. I am sure they thought my drone was a swarm of flying insects.
Going to have to send it in because the gimbal is saying it’s overheating and it just will not quit jumping around

Consider @Thunderdrones for repair. Sounds like gimbal cable issue. He might be able to help for cheaper/faster than dji
