No where near as spectacular as you guys but I did almost take my own head off today (being a little over dramatic) :rofl:

I was stationary as I was just hovering there minding my own business because my DVR wasn’t recording so I took my hand off the sticks to press record on my DVR and boom Karl comes out of nowhere! :rofl:

My son doing a bit of low flying…lost control after skimming a clump of grass ( we think the signal was blocked as he was in a dip in the ground, though video stayed up - clip recorded on the goggles ). Impact repeated in slomo :slight_smile:

So i have been flying DJI drones for around 3 years with 4 different drones. And now my 5th is the DJI FPV… Not one crash in 400+ flights until my 3rd flight with this beast… Decided to stop in mid run to return to home due to battery depletion and rise up to 60m to return… Luckily only 2 props busted.

Looks like you were having fun. The camera picture held well with the bad props :+1:

@notveryprettyboy Yeah man, i was surprised it didnt hit the ground either and was able to fly back to HOME point. But the props have 3 tears in them. So will just swap them out to be safe. Plus £15 spent on new ones :money_mouth_face: :sob:
