Seattle Air2s after crashing my Air2...lol

[CFI]

Hello everyone. I'm a newly certified part 107 drone pilot who also has a private pilot cert and advanced instructor cert. I love my new Air 2s and, as stated above, just destroyed an Air 2 after I lost it on a mountain with tall trees during a real estate shoot. Anyone from Washington state?

Thank you Mr Mod ! I'm not at all shy (much to the dismay of my wife sometimes) but I do feel a bit dumb about losing my first drone due to lack of attention. I was doing a real estate video of a beautiful home on open water with a huge snow-capped mountain in the background. I had the drone doing an auto-subject-arc over the deep blue/green bay and was watching the controller screen a bit too intently when my Air 2 slowly and quietly flew behind me. The problem is I didn't really pay attention to the 300' ninety degree mountain with the 100' trees on top directly behind me. I did get a good view on my phone of the drone crashing into dark limbs and heard it complain loudly as it fell about 100'. The "Find my drone" on the DJI app was of no help since I wasn't packing ropes and technical climbing gear (and am a bit too old for retrieving things off of cliff faces anyway). I learned a big lesson though -- always be aware of the WHOLE area ! lol

All that said, my love of drones has not been diminished by the mishap even a tiny bit !

Oh, and thank you all for the sympathy and warm welcomes !

You moved to Kansas from the bluest state in the union? Did you have culture shock? ;-)
