Here’s a Qoute I took from another of our forums.

Here is a quote from the "UAS Operator":

"“We were trying to get a close up of the gator with its mouth open and thought the obstacle avoidance would make the drone fly away, it was only our second time using the spark.”"

Interested in that thread here it is.

And we wonder why we aren't liked by everyone and why we aren't allowed in most parks etc where wildlife abounds. This is a classic example of WHY we are so restricted (PITA is going to have a field day here). As if we needed any more "groups" being Anti-Drone . . .

Could have been any of them. Don’t just blame DJI.
And there’s nothing good about that story.
