Just like to say I successfully recovered my drone earlier today. Went back to the same spot and found it within 10 mins. Not an easy find but I had a positive mindset and determination on my side. Looks undamaged, had some water on it in a few places so I've dried it off and will assess later...

Looks decent, I'll definitely be doing something similar to my drones in future

I'll certaintly look into strobes too. I thought adding a high vis decal or similar might be a good idea too in future

It's almost certainly been rained on, I live in the UK haha. If the weathers OK tomorrow I'll pop back and begin searching. Lesson learnt, I have a stupid tendancy to stay out later than I should.

Find my drone was the first thing I did whilst in the field so I could get a GPS coordinate. I'll look at trackers in the very near future, thanks

Funny you mention an independant tracker I was actually looking at those earlier today should I ever recover it or for a new drone. Thanks I'll keep everyone posted If i find it

Thanks I'm eager to go back and look asap with a better mindsight and more time to look.

Sorry here it is. DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com Yes I'm an idiot for not returning sooner and also I got confused whilst returning. Live and learn

Thanks I uploaded my flight log and its shown me the same area roughly as the GPS coordinates I extracted from the app. Guess I'll just have to search the trees alot

Unfortunately I lost my drone yesterday and crashed into some trees. I looked for the GPS coordinates from the dji app and traced this back using google maps to no avail. The area is fairly thick in trees and undergrowth so I was wondering how best to approach trying to recover the drone. I've...

Thanks for all your kind replies!

Probably a silly question but is it possible to get DJI refresh on a drone once its been repaired? I'm looking at buying a used drone that needs some gimbal repairs

Thanks for the the advice. I'll keep my eye out, I might take a punt on it (probably against my better judgement), but like you say secondhand ones in good condition are roughly 1000 anyways. Would you mind if I dm'ed the listing to you?

I'm in the UK, its an auction sell currently for £650 with no bids. Brand new the drone alone is £1300, extras probably another £400. I know a whole camera replacement isn't cheap, maybe 400 if you're lucky.

I'm looking at buying a damaged Mavic 2 Pro. The seller says he knocked the camera with a filter on and removed it forcibly damaging the camera/gimball. The camera still works and is intermittent apparently (Pictures back this up). I was wondering if its worth a punt buying it and trying to...
