Well, it’s been over a week now since I’ve “misplaced” my Mavic mini. I was out early in July 4th and got a little too comfortable with my new mini. I ended up flying it into a 100ft tree that over hangs the Railroad tracks . The foliage is so thick and I haven’t laid eyes on it yet.
I have already enlisted the help of and arborist. We went up the tree where it says the last GPS coordinates an no luck. So after paying him and the time I’ve spent looking for the mini, I’m growing obsessive and angry. How frustrating it is to go out every day and hope the wind blows it out of the tree.
I welcome any advice before I throw in the towel. I use the DJI Fly app so I don’t know if i can post the flight records. My questions are could the”find my drone” GPS coordinates be wrong and how close are they? Could they be off by many feet?
The flight records show that the drone hit the tree lowered to 7.5 feet and then ended up resting on a branch at 12 feet high. How does it calculate how high it is off the ground from where you took off at the “home point” location or from truly how high it is from the ground? Knowing this when help me determine how high to look in the tree and foliage.
Again, I welcome any advice or assistance.
Thank you in advance.
