I also used another Phantom to search for mine, here's how that went...
I was 200' up, looking straight down, recording in 1080P wide angle. I would go home, review the footage, note anything that looked interesting (anything white), go back and do a second fly-over at 100' (1080P narrow angle) to investigate the various white objects. In particular I spotted something bright white in a treeline, so a really spent time filming that area.
I go home, pop the sd card in my pc, and start scrutinizing the white object. It turned out to be big white plastic 55 gal barrel. Obviously a pretty big object.
Now here's the clincher. A week later, while on foot doing the search I mentioned in my earlier post, I found my Phantom not more than 20 feet from that big white barrel. I was amazed, because I scrutinized that area thoroughly.
Later, when I got home, and after I got over the elation of finding my Phantom2V+, I decided to review my videos and see how I could possibly have missed it. Man... seriously, it was right there in the video, but even KNOWING it was there, it was still hard to see. There would have been no way on this planet that I could have spotted it in the video I took, and it was in grass, not covered at all.
I don't know if we can post pics here, I'll check after typing this, but really, boots on the ground is the way to go. |
