This is a rough & dirty edit of footage taken mid last year on an little 12,600km drive through 5 Australian states over 5 weeks.
5 mates, 4 well set up 4WDs, and a lifetime of memories.
This place is Hanging Rock, very remote Western Australia 'Pilbara' region, took a few days of very off road to get in here on an old little used track, that very often just disappeared and required a lot of reacquiring in places.
No sound, just wanted to get the bird of prey footage as best possible from the ~ 12 min flight . . . and it's no cinematic masterpiece !!
Jittery in places where I slowed some scenes down quite a lot to get some vision of the encounter.
As per the description . . .
On our epic Western Australia 4WD trip in June / July 2018.
We were at very remote Hanging Rock in the Pilbara region, checking out this incredible rock feature and an approaching spinifex fire, when a Peregrine Falcon became curious about the Mavic.
(Actually, on viewing the footage later, it appeared to want the rear left arm !!)
On the phone screen it wasn't visible, as it was too small to notice on the device view, it was also VERY fast !!
Once seen by eye, I flew up and away to avoid it.
Parts of the footage are a bit jittery here and there as some scenes were replayed and slowed down to catch more of the birds flight.
