[QUOTE="JS1500, post: 78138, member: 14836"] Earlier today I took my Spark out to the lake to get some footage. Soon after taking off and flying out over the lake, a flock of pigeons flew dangerously close to my drone. I didn't think much of it since birds sometimes fly a bit close, but they turned around again and flew directly at the drone. I whipped her into Sport Mode and the high-speed pursuit began. After several frantic moments and quite a few aerobatic maneuvers that I'm quite proud of, I finally out-flew them and I was able to descend safely and land. All of this is to say, has this happened to anyone else before? I can understand bigger birds of prey thinking that the little Spark is lunch, but pigeons? On another note, this experience made me appreciate how easy and quick it is to put DJI drones into Sport Mode. [/QUOTE]
