Managed to clip tree, lucky escape.

Nice Video. Birds Bees and Trees, must be aware of these.

That was a near miss

Nice recovery!

Nice video, and indeed lucky you weren't a little lower. Nice save.

Cool location and smooth gimbal motion. Where is this?

Raby castle . Staindrop. UK

Really lucky flight you had!
Check your birds props also if you haven't done this yet there may be little cracks.

Allready done ,replaced 2 props the rear ones.

I also had a lucky escape with an encounter with a tree with my Mavic. It got tossed about within the branches for a few seconds before being spat out. Unbelievably it kept on flying like nothing happened. Once back, I checked it over and luckily didn't seem to have any damage. One prop may be very slightly rough on one edge - but otherwise all OK. I breathed a big sigh of relief. Unfortunately I didn't have the video running at the time - it would have been 'dramatic'.

I don't even know how you got away with that one but nice work

Hello Scunna,  That is a very interesting video! Would have liked to have seen all four sides of the castle but very nice indeed. Nice audio too. If only the Mavic had rear and side sensors as well like the P4P.

Really Lucky. Any Probs Broken?

Small chip in one of the rear props, replaced both.

A  little lower and a little slower probably a nose dive. Lucky day.

I learned the hard way, NEVER fly backwards or sideways if using the camera (especially FPV) for navigation!  Great video.

I snagged a small twig flying towards myself at dusk.  Fortunately it was near to the ground.  I didn't see it even though I was looking right at it because it was too dark for my old eyes.  The front left prop snapped in half and a piece of the twig was wrapped around the motor bushings in between the bottom of the motor and the arm.  I had to loosen the motor from underneath in order to reach it with fine tweezers and untangle it.  I was amazed how large the piece of twig was once it was extracted.

Nicely done !!! ;-)
