Microwave Tower

[Fathergoose]

I haven't received my Mavic Pro yet but I'm wondering about a microwave tower that is near by. Am I going to have any issues? Don't even want to try it for the first time only to find out that's it's going to fly away.
Has anyone had experience with microwave transmission towers?

Thanks.

I saw more than one video where someone flew into close range of a microwave tower and lost signal. So yes, it's definitely a risk, and I'd keep my distance.

Also, microwave antennas are usually directed and focused. Make absolutely sure you don't cross a directed beam, because that's a pretty reliable way for any electronics to fail.
