200 ft down... More than 300 to go... And the Google Earth image really doesn't do it justice! It's a wilderness area, so no climbing or foot traffic over the fence is allowed AT ALL. Even if I decided to just do it, it wouldn't be a quick trip since we don't know where the Mavic Is! This is a very exclusive housing area, and I know for certain someone would call the police when we started climbing down the cliff to our deaths!
The DJI Go 4 app does not show the live GPS position of the search aircraft.. it only shows us the GPS position in the flight logs after we've landed, which is of no help at all. Thanks to the Google Earth photos we now have a general area to look, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. There's no guarantee the last GPS coordinates in the flight log is where the Mavic is, however. Even if we find it, the chances of successfully being able to hook it and drag it out of the bushes, and up the cliff side, are slim, to say the least.
Oops.
Looks can be deceiving.
Especially from behind the security of a desk.
That is a real pity.
And an expensive one too.
Maybe buy a dog and train it to fetch DJI drones...
(just kidding of course). |
