[QUOTE="sharps45, post: 96556, member: 17013"] Went up a canyon to get some video of the river flowing through it. Started at the reservoir that feeds the river, just getting some stills. Then while Spark was up about 200 feet, over the lake, a hawk swoops down to take it out! For a second I thought about switching to video to catch the bird, but decided since I was that high, and over water to boot, I'd just better bring the drone in. Switched to Sport Mode, and with some quick maneuvering was able to bring it safely back. Later, while filming over the river, I backed up the drone a bit to fix the scene, and then on the screen- tree branches and the message cannot fly. I knew within a couple hundred feet where it was, but using the controller to locate the drone was useless. After about an hour of searching, and on the last tree before I gave up and crossed the river to search the other side, I found him under a tree, upside down. Absolutely no damage, and the polarized filter I was using was lying right beside the drone. Lucky day! [/QUOTE]
