I've Lost My Drone somewhere up there

Oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Somewhere in the top of a very tall try is a Mini SE…

I guess it’s time to try to find out how good DJI Care is…

Can you call a tree surgeon to get it down for you?

I really don’t know what to do tbh… It’s up a tree on public land

Gutted for you …

Any local ‘youths’ you can persuade to shin up it?

“a tree” is a growing thing - “public land” doesn’t grow.

Do I win?

I’d phone a couple of tree surgeons before doing anything.

The worst they can do is say no?

Or ask for local members to help, there have been a fair few successful drone rescue missions made by members of the club banding together to rescue stranded drones.

You’d be surprised at the lengths that members will go to just to help out fellow members :+1:t2:

What area are you in? Check the members map for local pilots maybe tag them asking if they’d be willing to help?

  • 10 mile walks around muddy fields
  • climbing ladders up the side of theatres

… to mention just two.

Even gone as far as 3D printing mantis claws and having it hanging off string carried by another drone to grapple a drone from a bandos asbestos roof. Just to name another one :ok_hand:t2:

Looks like @timxjr1300 is in Wiltshire…a county linked to various drone exploits eh @clinkadink :rofl:

I’m also in Wiltshire Tim, but have no way of getting up a tree/felling a tree for you I’m afraid :frowning_face:

The drone equivalent of The Bermuda Triangle.

:rofl:

Hi everyone, the tree concerned is in Corsham Park somewhere near 51.431825, -2.173817
There’s nothing to sync to airdata the app can’t find new files.

I think its about about 15m up in the tree.

How do I shout out?

Going to see if I can see it tomorrow lunchtime with some M* nuts on the end of a piece of garden twine

Too dangerous

Tim, do you want a hand? I can come down, only half hour away. Let me know.

I would have offered to climb the tree, but I’m wearing a knee brace at the mo.

Those coords put it roughly here. Is that right, or could it be anywhere in the park … or even the lake😨

I also have a roof rack and 2 part 10m ladder if needed.

Those coords are pretty bang on, and that’s a very generous offer.
DM on its way

Has it sync’d flights before OK? Did you go to the menu and hit the “Sync Now”, as on mine, it doesn’t always sync automatically.

Yes it has… I have no idea why it won’t… its only my 3rd session with it

I now have airdata info
DJIFlightRecord_2022-03-28_[18-32-41].txt (692.5 KB)

Or csv version
Mar-28th-2022-06-32PM-Flight-Airdata.csv (909.2 KB)

Look, I’m new to this so I claim innocence in case those logs show anything that a good pilot would be embarrassed about
