Lucked into this one.  Drone was just hovering there, taking some pretty-but-not-super-interesting video... and then a bald eagle just flew right across the frame.



Didn't even notice it much at the time (zipped past in just a couple of seconds, was far away and hard to see)... until I had a chance to review the video on a bigger screen.

This image is a composite of a few dozen frames from the video capture.  4K video at 30fps; I captured every second frame for this picture, so the individual images are 1/15 second apart, just over two seconds to cross the frame.

It's the kind of setup I could never have planned, ever-- just got really, stupidly lucky here, just hovering there minding my own business and suddenly a bald eagle literally out of the blue.

Nice shot. Lucky dude.. Usually bald eagle are very aggressive and will take you down in blink of an eye by coming at you from the top.  

awesome capture

Great shot! Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!

thankfully it didn't think your mavic was prey!! beautiful!

Fantastic shot. Congrats.
