Well, the bird got close, but a true attack would be where they touch and drop the drone. I have had numerous birds circle and swoop, hawks, gulls, but they have never touched my drone. Sometimes you can simply fly away from them and continue on. Its scary the first time and you probably did the right thing, to land... you were lucky the bird did not touch.

Good video!

Many people feel that brighter colors help you avoid birds, I got a red Spark based on that assumption, the birds come close but so far so good. I had a whole swarm of swallows follow me around a little while back, I just changed altitude, they followed, so I sport moded away from them and after that, they lost interest. I think they are basically being protective of their nests. So you might want to consider a skin for your mini.... Best of luck.

That's cool.

Check this thread out.

It's a thread from 2017.

Since you had a couple of flybys, here's an idea you could do to overlay each frame to make a composite photo.


Remember, Sport mode is your friend to get out of a situation.

Thanks for the information I will take it into account

Curious. This looks like it could be Mexico. Where are you?

Good beats and smooth video! The bird looked like a peregrine falcon.

I think if one actually touched the drone a flurry of feathers would follow

Spectacular. Looks very like a peregrine. They are nesting right now.
