Got some great footage before crashing my Mavic into an iceberg.

Nice!

How did you crash it? Was it during Active Track?

Active Track and obstacle avoidance worked perfectly. It was when I manually overrode it and crashed sideways into another glacier.

Must be stunning to be there. How would say that it (Mavic) handle the cold? And how cold is it?

Thank's for sharing! I liked the tracking! Ken

Nice job and thank you for sharing your videos  

Very interesting shots in Alaska ...  I flew helicopters for some contract work many years ago. We were based in Nome for some supplies and flew from our base camp near Tin City.......

Oh yes, been to a few of those radar sites.

At the end were you using active track or was a friend flying it?

I was using active track. It did a good job.

Great footage.  Good to have people in there for scale.

Thanks, I thought the same thing. It is not the same without something to show the scale of these icebergs.

Very nice! Love the active track feature....if only i would just remember to use it more. Lol

I use it a lot, sometimes it can be flaky. The more you use it, the more you will learn its capabilities and limitations.

Thanks for the repair tutorial. Great job. Good to know its possible to fix this type of damage ourselves.
