FPV Crash into Tree - Gimbal Came Off

[davemcm]

Flying FPV through some trees and a tiny branch jumped out at me and attacked my Phantom to the ground.

Gimbal with GoPro came off from the anti-vibration rubber balls and disconnected a few wires.

Was recovered by a nearby dog walker until I arrived on scene

Was flying again after 10 mins of repair work.

You are a hellava lot better pilot than I am. I wouldn't made it 20 ft at that height and number of obstacles. BTW, how do you get the YouTube code to work? I put in the link between the YouTube code-take out the "s" in the https: and it still doesn't work. Good video, though. I felt your pain.

Lol I like the low proximity flying better than just up in the air around an empty space, although i have had my fair share of crashes because of it...

I tried it there with the youtu.be short link and it didn't work, i had to use the full link like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjEHtDH9k_Q with the tags around it and it should be fine.

Ditto the Pilot well done to have lasted that long
