I live in an area that's heavily forested, so being able to take off from an open field is a real treat. Went to one today. Parked on the edge of the field, got out, put my drone on the ground, and took off. Forgot to look up...big mistake. Above me were a few tree branches.
When my air 2s hit the branches, you can guess the rest. In seconds it was flopping on the ground. The wounded bird lost a set of propellers and broke a leg. So sad. So much for upward obstacle detection. Off to DJI for a care refresh fix/replacement.
Lesson: don't forget to look up. Don't be distracted by the wide open space in front of you.
