i lost my drone in a tree, 76 feet up in a tree, help!

Perhaps he is presently occupied teaching the squirrels the use of rudimentary recovery gear?

I don't trust those critters, they'd probably blackmail him for a bag of walnuts.

I vote for this on >>>>>> A cooler full of beverages and a couple of friends with one of these could be for a fun afternoon.
And say "watch this".

For $119, an arborist pole style sling shot should do the trick. You first shoot a strong string, and once that's around a high branch, you pull up a rope.

If we are voting, I vote for burning both the tree and the drone with fire.

Because they clearly need a lesson about Who Is In Charge In The Backyard.

(I didn't know how serious I had to be here. I was initially going to suggest there was a hidden secret drone recovery mode, but I forgot what the up down up down a b a b thing was from the home video game way back...)

70 feet is a long way up. If he misses, hope he knows what lies behind the tree. Be interesting to plop a sandbag or whatnot into next door's poolside party...

Rod and reel with a heavy weight on the end with good aim.

Well, I'm glad the op started this thread, it made me be just a bit more cautious about flying at a lower altitude with my neo around the cottonwoods down the street.

Great suggestions, though my realistic advice: report it as a flyaway and get a new one. I once lost my drone high up in the canopy of a massive tree. No way to get it out. It’s lost. Get over it.

Well, here is a long thread, I guess he never retrieved it?

It Finally Happened!

Hi guys, Unfortunately, it finally happened to me. For the last month, I've been busy shooting in a beautiful canyon. I spent 8 full days in this canyon and it was a very nice experience for me both mentally and physically. On the last day, while I was shooting close-up of rock walls, the drone...

Here’s an international directory of people that will climb trees to retrieve cats. Probably too late for OP, but some of these guys will also climb trees to retrieve drones:

Both of them- the catinatreerescue.com site should be a sticky post somewhere on this site as I’ve posted it often. That Charlie Brown cartoon gets used a lot as well as many people have been feeding their drones to trees around here also!
