Be careful, they will take out your drone if you are unlucky. There was footage of one taking out a massive Phantom.

Bad translation.Sorry English is not my native language.
Griffon vulture
The griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) is a large Old World vulture in the bird of prey family Accipitridae. It is also known as the Eurasian griffon. It is not to be confused with a different species, Rüppell's griffon vulture (Gyps rueppellii). It is closely related to the white-backed vulture (Gyps africanus).

Description
The griffon vulture is 93–122 cm (37–48 in) long with a 2.3–2.8 m (7.5–9.2 ft) wingspan. In the nominate race the males weigh 6.2 to 10.5 kg (14 to 23 lb) and females typically weigh 6.5 to 10.5 kg (14 to 23 lb), while in the Indian subspecies (G. f. fulvescens), the vultures average 7.1 kg (16 lb). Extreme adult weights have been reported from 4.5 to 15 kg (9.9 to 33.1 lb), the latter likely a weight attained in captivity.[3][4] Hatched naked, it is a typical Old World vulture in appearance, with a very white head, very broad wings and short tail feathers. It has a white neck ruff and yellow bill. The buff body and wing coverts contrast with the dark flight feathers.

If you mean the last shot, it was not taken by a drone, it was taken with a camera.

wow, thanks for the info. 9.2 feet wingspan is amazing. Must be amazing just to see them fly with your own eyes too. We don't have such large birds here in Canada. Our vulture are just turkey vultures, mayve 3 feet wingspan. I remember when I was in California and saw the California condors, they were very impressive.

The canyon is also very impressive. YOu did great with the montage too, the video is well done.  It's hard to beleive that our little mini can fly that high and go so far.

The biggest problem is the wind because it is extremely strong when flying high above the canyon.
Thanks for your impressions.

Yes and I can imagine what the strong updrafts that can lift a 25lbs bird can do to a 249g micro drone! scary!

Be careful, they will take out your drone if you are unlucky. There was footage of one taking out a massive Phantom.

And I saw many bald eagles taking out Phantom 4 Pro and pounded harder.....Poor Phantom 4 Pro
