Ive been flying my mini2 for just over three years now, flown 252 miles with 49 hours of flying and never crashed it, last Sunday I had my closest moment to a crash while flying sideways in an arc I just had a feeling that I was about to hit something so decided to slowdown and yes I was right it was a GSM antenna cluster. As you can see two seconds later and that would have ended badly!
This weekend I will be buying the mini4 pro.
It certainly was - congrats on you quick reaction.
A close shave indeed…
Out of curiosity, these towers are not inconspicuous… How did you even mange to get that close to it all of a sudden?
Great save 
Very close indeed. It could have been difficult to retrieve if you had crashed.
Yes scary that, never had such a close shave
Amazed that happened tbh as I always plan my flights and start by making sure I’m above anything nearby so I know that I can safely fly sideways without worrying.
I’m picking up my mini 4 pro in 30 mins so at least this kind of thing won’t happen again
I’m exactly the same… Carry out a quick risk assessment first.
If you ever need to explain to someone the reason for flying in VLOS . . .
My drone was actually almost directly above me 130ft could clearly be seen but at that exact moment I was going sideways looking at the screen. I always check before I fly to make sure I’m above anything where I’m going to fly but I guess I got it wrong it it had lost some height as it was windy on that day.
I just wanted to get it uploaded, yes the video is landscape I just reframed it for a short
