This was at about 170 feet up. 2 Mavic Pro's. Only damage was replaced props on both birds. Both landed safely. Amazing machines. Another "couldn't do that if i tried" deal. I think my Mavic Pro heard I just ordered the M2P and turned suicidal...

Scary!!!! Glad both birds landed safely.

The height you were flying appears to have saved you. Interesting to see the MP self right before it hit the ground. All is well that ends well though. Thanks for sharing.

Glad that both survived unharmed!

Love the music background.  Nice recovery.

What.... what were you thinking??
Aaaaarrrrggghhh?

Amazing to see how both mavics recovered after the headbon collision.

That's crazy.  

It's like Mavic 1 had a homing device on the other Mavic. They were both in a death spiral for about 4-5 seconds then magically righted themselves and hovered. Mavic 2 had 1 prop with both tips gone about 1" on each side. Mavic 1 had 2 of 4 props nicked/chipped. Cams/gimbals did not take any damage, amazingly, and they both recorded the whole thing...

cool video - great to have a happy ending also - rock on:-)

Crazy lucky. Amazing they both survived.

Aloha HyLenz,

     Good to see the survival of both birds.  When my friend and I fly together like that, we choose altitudes that keep us separated.  Just a suggestion.  Of course we do not get such dramatic video but we do also live to fly another day.

Aloha and Drone On!

Good, it end's well - but how come the crash - what happened?

Mission was to video each other in flight. I backed off to get a better view. Mavic 2 was hovering still. I wanted to fly-by his drone at speed. Did not even cross my mind we would be in the same airspace. I mean, whats the chances of us being at the exact same altitude at close to 200'? The app's altimeters were different on both, so why not? The rest is history.

That was close!

You stub him in the back Joking - things happened - good part is they both are OK!

Lucky recovery for both machines. I once had a collision between two fixed wing aircraft. Both were destroyed and it was 'raining' servos.
