So I managed to totally freak out my wife. She bought me a Mavic Pro for Xmas and I managed to CRASH IT IN THE AFRICAN BUSHVELD. It got me curious: WHERE IS THE WORST PLACE A MAVIC PRO HAS CRASHED? It would make interesting reading, please add a clip if you can.
Here is my story as we had a major overland trip planned for the Holidays, she let me have it a few days before we set off.
In all I would guess I had 8 hrs of flight time and about 22 take offs. From the onset I was ecstatic with the gear and perhaps had a fair bit of false conference built up that set me up for an epic fail.
We arrive in Botswana two days before Xmas and I get the Mavic to follow me. I get great footage but the 4x4 rig is to **** small on the shot so I get the Mavic closer plus I slide the rotating pivot point to allow for a 360 deg shot from all sides. Big mistake, I miscalculated the big thorn tree and the drone ended up clipping one of the high branches. Down it came and once almost recovered.
Watch the clip here:
My first attempt at a YouTube video. Don’t laugh too much.
Let me know what you think.
