Happens to the best of us, pal. Flying drones is all about precision and unwavering focus. A single distraction can mean disaster. But don't beat yourself up, just learn from the experience and move forward. Invest in some solid training, and maybe a little insurance wouldn't hurt either.

Did the drone do a back flip before diving in? 😂 But on a serious note, sorry about the drone man. Neighbours probably won't let you live this down anytime soon!

This is exactly why regulations on drone use are so tight. Distractions don’t just result in damage to the drone, but can potentially have more serious implications. Glad it was just a light-hearted pool party in this case, but it's a lesson for all of us in the community. Useful reminder though about insuring your drone, it often slips people's minds until incidents happen.

Sorry about your DJI Mavic; quality machines those. This is a great reminder for us all to not just pay attention when flying but about drone insurance as well. Anyone've any good insurance recs? Is it worthwhile for casual flyers or just the pros?

RIP to those cocktails, mate! Bet your neighbours were thrilled with the unexpected splash added to their party! Sorry about your drone though, real downer that one.

Hey, maybe the bird thought your drone was encroaching on its territory, could've been trying to protect its eggs or something. Makes you think twice about where and when to fly, doesn't it? 🐦🕊️

Been flyin' drones since people thought they were U.F.O.'s. Man, the DJI Mavic is a solid piece, but then again, ain't waterproof, lmao! Distracted by a bird, huh? First time I've heard that one.
