Mavic Pro saves Parrot Mambo from roof!

[JL337]

I thought I would share how I saved my son's parrot mambo from the neighbors roof. I just wish I would have hit the record button but I was pretty upset my son didn't listen about flying over the neighbors house and it some how landed on their roof.[emoji36]

I wrapped a string around the body of the mavic and used a bungee cord and tied it to the string. This was the most nerve wracking flight I had since my very first time flying a drone.

Let's just say this was actually easier than the claw game at the arcade.[emoji1] [emoji1] If the prop guards wouldn't have been on his mambo it would made this way more difficult. It took me 6 minutes according to the flight record.[emoji106]

You are very brave, I personally wouldn't do it. Thinking myself that I can crash a $1000 drone to save a $150 dollar drone.

I really wish I would have too! I'm sure it will happen again.

I probably wouldn't have done it if I didn't have insurance on the mavic. If it's lost damaged or stolen I get my money back. Plus I got to test my skills.

I used to have a Parrot Mambo. Six days of ownership taught me that it's an inside drone.
