I am in Scarborough and Yup I am cooked now, My DJI mini 2 is stuck in a tree

[Whiteeskimo]

Hello and a happy beautiful spring day to lose my Mini 2 up in a tree about 30 feet or so
Theres a saying that gos like this
I was on the first battery and coming down because i was getting wind warnings and I was using the Drone mask 2 and with a combination of high winds and being disorientated
It blew into the tree
I stayed around and tried everything to start it but nothing and watching the video until the battery was zero
The video was working and i could zoom in but nothing more
I could not turn it off so I could try to restart it but it said that ( It needed the IMU re calibrated )
But I could not do that because the drone was upside down and in a tree
Like the saying goes ( TREES ARE DI-KS)
If someone in the Scarborough area Eglinton & Kingston road and has a long poll or rope or think you can help
I think that if we gave the tree a good shake that it may come down
I am 71 years old so I dont think I could climb it like I use to when I was a little youngster
Please do and thank you very much

I am besides myself Please if anyone that has a fishing pole that can come and catch one of the thiner branches and shake it
The thiner branches closer to the ground can be snared and we could shake it lose

Your best bet is a properly equipped neighbor, rather than another DJI pilot on an international forum. Surely, someone that lives nearby with a fishing pole can assist. Knock on a few doors, if you aren't already acquainted.

Try phoning a local tree surgeon. I’m sure they’ll have the equipment to help.

Indeed, but a neighbor is probably a lot cheaper!

Here in Miami we have a ton of local tree service companies. We all try to trim our trees before hurricane season. These companies have cherry picking extensions from their trucks and all sorts of gear. It might cost more than the drone costs however! But you won't risk falling out of the tree and killing yourself.

you might be able to tie a long string around a rock and throw it over the branch to shake it down.
30 feet is not that high.

 

[360 Guy]

Don't hire anyone, unless you have deep pockets.
Get yourself some clothes line, tie one end off with any kind of weight and throw it over the branch.
A few tosses and tugs will bring her down.
Even if your 100 years old, you can do this.
Let us know how you do.

Had the same problem and managed to hire a cherry picker with operator same da. I couldn’t see mine so the picker was a waste of time but as you can see yours it should be simple. In fact I did get mine back after a tree surgeon on holiday spotted it after 2 weeks when it had dislodged a bit!

You might want to try a Home Depot or something to get a extension pole long enough to knock it off the tree. I bought like a 60 foot extendable tree branch trimmer from Amazon. You might want to try that route.

60 feet?

I just bought a three-section, 18-foot Jameson extension pruner and it's a handful to keep stable with all three tubes. I can't imagine a 60-foot tool would be usable. The longest one I see listed on Amazon is 27 feet. Do you have a model number?

How about a neighbor kid to climb the tree and shake it down for $10 or whatever?

I am the same bird up tree to old to get it! I feel your pain.

Find a neighbor with a fishing pole, or buy your own, and return it after!

Hello to everyone and thank you for all of your advice it has been very helpfull
Yesterday my X wife and I tried tying a sturdy string to a ball and a fulled water battle and swinging it around and let it go but we could not muster enough power to reach any meaning full branches
So today we are going to Canadian tire to buy a snow ball slingshot and we will use the ball we have with the sting and shoot it up over a close branch to the drone and try to free it
Hopefully it will work
I will post our results

Oh my goodness the tree is on the property of the condo were i live and i dont think people would like that
but a funny idea

 

[Whiteeskimo]

Well we were unsuccessful today but I have not given up yet
It has not rained here yet and the weather report says Sunday 62 % chance
Like I was saying I live in a condo and it has a pool and today i was eyeing the aluminum pole with a large hook at the end
Well tomorrow i am going to contact the superintendent and explain my situation and ask him if he would let me use it to just nudge the branches and hopefully that will work
I will let you know the outcome
I hope he will be sympathetic
