Whilst reviewing a video I saw something flash into view on the right of the picture near the top, on closer inspection it is only in one frame (please see screen grab) it looks suspiciously like a prop blade.

  

On inspection of the blade it appears to be in perfect condition and securely mounted, the drone has not had any sort of bump or damage and the object cannot be seen in any of the 5 mins of footage that I took after. The Mavic has completed about 20 Flights , I was descending in positioning mode at the time.

  

Anyone got any idea as to what this is or if I need to take any sort of action.

  
  

Many thanks for the help

I think that I can now rule out the prop blade as the camera was pointing in a straight forward direction and slightly down.

To get the prop in the field of view in a ground test (motor not running) it was necessary to move the camera to look up and to the right. At extremis you could see the prop in the field of view but it presented as much, much larger than in the photo. Guess I’m a little paranoid.

Anyone have any ideas
