Uploading now... got distracted with work.. on hold with DJI for 54 min and counting, open a insurance claim on my credit card... busy morning
Any chance you could upload the .TXT file from the first flight with the crash into the bushes, too?
Yes, that's possible. I'd missed there was a prior crash. That could explain a lot here.
Fully knew I should calibrate the RC had done it once on my P2V+ but it has flown perfect without doing it.
VIDEO IS UP.
PIP mode, slight outta sync (imovie)
will upload the raw POV video next
I knew something was off as soon as it took off.
it drifted and flew crooked.
Had 3 sets of eyes on it the whole time and it didn't hit anything.
both flights it would appear as if it did, throwing a 45 degree tilt and then fast acceleration to its doom.

I knew nothing of this and had not read anything on the subject ever, or seen a YouTube vid on it. You learn something new every day and will do it once little un has gone to bed. have I been skating on thin ice not doing this.

I see telltale TBE before it's goes fully Pete Tong. What happens then is hard to say. I don't see any birds. I do see gimbal twitching. And very high speed flight sideways.
Video cache off device. It's also fun to go in and look at when say, your girlfriend plays with the camera while your not around and doesn't realize that the video is cached on the mobile device.
yeah this looks like it might be a rotor issue or a hardware that might have been caused by the first crash. the bird always seems to tilt in one direction at a very steep angle and then tries to compensate.
Note also that the compass thinks the quad and gimbal is pointing NNW, but the video clearly shows the camera is pointing East towards the shore. That sudden jolt though... hard to explain without an impact or mechanical failure, don't you think? Note also that he's ascending rapidly at the moment of the jolt, so if he did hit something, it could have been above (and hence not visible in the camera).

If a bird hit one of the back props from above, you wouldn't see the bird in the video. The camera only has a 90 degree FoV.
dont think it hit anyting or we would see some feather debris. it almost looks as if one of the rotors stopped rotating or was in partial power.
