    Catastrophic crash tonight - Phantom 3 Pro destroyed!!

    Just realized I never updated this. DJI replaced my P2 and the gimbal, though the process took over 2 months. The GoPro was a total loss (it sheared off when it hit the water). 3DR includes loss of GoPro, not DJI. Overall, though, I am happy they replaced my P2.

    The gulls help make the video interesting. Unlike hawks they seem less likely to actually hit it.

    . . . let me amend that - I don't fly over people. Not specifically because of the FAA guideline, but because it just isn't safe.

    Hawk attack, close call

    I was recently flying my drone in The Netherlands, and in several places seagulls were swooping my Phantom. They never hit it, but came within 5 feet or so. On the West Coast US, that never happen. Maybe Dutch seagulls are different!

    Shot with a Phantom 3 @ 4K. That is a LOT of bikes! . . . and a lot of bikers (over 1 million, according to the South Dakota Authorities). Personally, I would not have flown over that many people, regardless of how many of them might be willing to cause serious bodily harm to me if my...
