I came across the same koala, in the same tree, on consecutive days, on my morning walk.
Footage obtained with DJI Mavic Air (1st day) and DJI Spark (2nd day)

Nice video. The drone did not seem to disturb the Koala, more curious it would seem.

I don’t get too close, Ken.  They are pretty placid animals.

Nicely done.    

Great footage! Amazing views, a pretty koala! the noise from the MA should have scared him!


Thanks for sharing!

QQRUUCH, the MA footage was when he was asleep.  The footage of him eating and climbing was from the Spark.  The noise of the MA didn’t even make him stir.  Must be an ultra-sound sleeper.

Very nice work!  Caught him napping and working.

ALABAMA, I caught him doing the two things he does best, eating and sleeping!

Aloha Simon,

     This video and similar videos would be very useful in museums and refuges with visitor centers.  Especially after the fires and the wildlife problems that generated.  You might want to send them a link.

     Be safe!

Aloha and Drone On!

Montfrooji, I had the MA the 1st day I saw the Koala.  The 2nd day I had my Spark with me, so I used the Spark.I posted in both forums cos I used both drones.
