I can tell you all that I always chk very carefully before I flew.
It was not manual, Dronie Quickshot / and I could feel about 0.5 meters
from the trees that it is never possible, but judged that it might still be OK.

Dronie flew on and disappeared behind the tree and I was just waiting ...
... I did not hear any buzzing Mini, it was running a train at the same time ...


... but I heard the sound of something that sounded like one grass trimmer
and could see some small green leaves fluttering in the wind!

... But suddenly Mini appeared behind the tree and I immediately quit
and landed for a total check.

Everything OK !!

Wow, it was close, the rear camera would be welcome. You were very lucky.

This is why a rear OA is always a good thing. My Skydio 2 would just goes around the whole tree and then another tree and check out the steeple before resume course.

Ooooooh, that was close!  Were you manually flying, or was a a Dronie Quickshot?
When I am flying near my house, the Dronie is the only QuickShot I can do and even that I can only do in one direction due to trees.  Even in that direction, I watch it like a hawk directly (not FPV).

That was very close - cool footage

Holy Smokes, That was indeed very lucky and very close, i think the MM actually kissed one of the branches, still, cool video The Bitless.

THX, 2nd Officer! It was a dronie and I'm OK and Mini too!
It was the second time at this church I had an incident. Flying in a graveyard is not OK. An ignorant man pointed out just before I was to fly that he did not like drones in a cemetery! I said that I also pay church tax and that there were no signs about the forbidden area.

AMEN
