Nice video.

A few thoughts & questions.

Unless I am looking at the prop photo's
wrong, I find it quite odd that the cracks
are on the trailing edges. Am I seeing that
correctly?

It's also interesting that the Spark did a
double 360 as a result of the attack and
seemed unaffected by the spin, afterward.

Lastly, I would have thought the Spark would
vibrate even a little with the damaged props,
but the video afterward still looks really good,

Nice work & thanks for sharing this.

nice video!

Thanks Its my first video using the DJI software. Every time I clipped the video for use in the main video the image looked very grainy as opposed to the raw footage, but after the main video was complete it looked great. Thought I would get a little creative and put the flight record in there at the end

Nice video.

A few thoughts & questions.

Im guessing that when the Hawks talons caught one propeller it caused them to fold in and swing around cutting into the trailing edge of itself (If that makes any sense) Like is shown in this photo. Either way I feel quite lucky to still have my Spark in one piece and not bird poop in a nest somewhere

spark 1 hawk 0 not bad

Nice one!    It appears that the hawk made just the one pass.

Interesting on the prop cracks. I wouldn't
have thought about that, but you have the
props in your hands.

And the flight path at the end of the vid
was a nice touch.


Later!

Thanks I figured I would be a bit creative and post up the mario kartesque flight record at the end. I wish there was some sort outro clip you could use to end the video a bit cleaner. Perhaps at the least fade the music at the end of the video instead of abruptly stopping. Either way it is a very user friendly editor and enjoy using it to make videos.

Wow, you got away lucky. And hope it changes it's taste of bird for dinner.

Bad bad bird... lol
