Lost drone - Oldham

Thats what I thought…or as big box of chocs…well worth the outlay of some dosh.

I did ask her what she drinks, she said pink gin, so picked her some up while I was out today.

asked Chadman as well but he’s not on the pop, so have to sort him out a little something next time I see him! Surley get out doing some flying or photography!

It was on the green X

@Derek.RC I think am gonna gaffer tape a tag to it everyflight so I know exactly where that little bastard is everytime, wipe the card and back up data after every flight as well that’s my lesson

What an amazing story… Was the drone working and all good? I presume it just landed or did it crash?

It just landed, I’ve still got the video of the flight 8 mins long, it was still recording when it landed,then for some reason it recorded another 13minute video just sat in the same spot, haha

It still flies but I havnt checked the camera yet and all the GPS system, but hopefully camera is still working.

You can see how much the wind affected it on the video, it really couldn’t correct itself for return home.

This is brilliant, so glad you got it back. And what are the odds of it being at the first place you knocked?

I got a label with my Operator ID, and on the same label it says “If found call: …” and my mobile.

Please share the video link

I’ll upload the footage to YouTube, unless I can upload it here?

YouTube as you can’t upload directly to here

Upload to YT then post the url on its own line in your message, like this:

blah, blah, blah ...

www.youtube.com/myvideo

blah, blah, blah ...

and it will appear in a nice box with controls :slight_smile:

Great news, glad it worked out well.

Hi guys, uploaded the footage to Youtube on my separate channel.
ENJOY! and thanks for all the help.
