Looking for help retrieving drone from tree

[philipe]

Hi guys! I’m wondering if anyone with a claw rig would be up for trying to airlift my stuck Air 2S from a tall ponderosa tree? My neighbor says he’s not willing to let an arborist climb the tree, sadly… Happy to compensate!

It’s hard to say but I believe it’s about a hundred feet

Don't tell the neighbor your friends an Arborist.

Not knowing the height is a problem.
How far from the edge of the property line?

I had mine stuck 30 feet up but knew exactly where it was. The tree wasn't in someone's yard. It was overhanging their yard a tiny bit though. I hired a tree service to get it down. They used a boom lift.

I think it’s about 100 feet. Could be 80. Could be 120… unfortunately it’s fully on his property

YEP!!!! probably gonna be your best way unless you find someone with a drone and hook and they are willing to risk getting stuck too. Bakersfield is kinda a ways for a quik drone retrieval

If its 100 ft or less you can make a homemade "hotstick" out of PVC pipes and tap it out.. just attach all the pieces securely !!

I'm not sure of the laws for drone recovery but being an "aircraft" you might have a right to go on the property to recover it.

Perhaps but you'd have to file an accident report with the FAA is my guess.
