Lost sight of the tiny Anafi flying over a river and backed it into tree. Motors shut off but power was still on the processor and camera. It was about 300 feet away and 40 feet up in the top of a tree. using the distance display on the tablet, I was able to get close to it, scrambling over rocks on the riverbank. I was unable to see it so I tried starting the motors. I heard them spin up, thrashing leaves and then saw it tumble down. It hit a few branches on the way and landed in some soft brush. I picked it up and saw that nothing was broken, not even a prop. All the arms had folded up and there was not a scratch on it to be seen.
I decided to head home and not fly it again over the water until I had checked it out thoroughly and recalibrated everything. Happy to say it works fine now as if it never happened. I got lucky and it's a tough little bird.
