It didn't break the windshield but when we got on the ground we had to clean duck feathers and innards out from under the aluminum at the top edge of the windshield.
How did he hit the windscrren but miss the prop? Do props hold up well to bird hits? I bet that was some scary maneuveratin' !

I hear you shouldn't leave it mounted in a parked car due to heat, just throwing that out there.

Are you going thru Yellowstone? AMAZING country

I don't have a gopro, I have a Vicovation... best one I could find that loop records I need constant recording, gopro doesn't loop, and doesn't care if you leave it in a parked vehicle... no batteries to explode.
