Dirty Bird Posted at 2022-11-9 17:26
In all my years of flying I have often been buzzed by birds, but only once has a bird actually collided with my drone. Brought a Vision+ to the pavement in a spectacular crash. It's always a risk, but the risk of an actual impact seems low. If attacked climb straight up at max throttle & bug out. If a bird is really intent on tracking you down a camera drone can't outmaneuver it, so just be sure you are recording to tell the story later. Pictures or it didn't happen!
"If a bird is really intent on tracking you down a camera drone can't outmaneuver it,"
I don't know about that, birds can't stop like a drone midair and hover or go up and down.
I've had a couple of Crows harass and chase me and I easily shook them off, I've also had Buzzards come and have a look but they kept their distance.
Saying that my friend lost his drone to a birdstrike and he never even saw it..
