Just a follow up on this story.........with a pic.
Below is the pic of what the woods look like from the ground when i tried to retrieve it the next morning....what it doesn't show is the amount of water as soon as you enter in there....Knee deep murky water.
First off all you should have never fly at night, I use to own a Dji Spark and I was flying it around sunset and I lost VLOS of the aircraft and I hit the return home button on the remote controller. It almost made it back to the original point of take off but it some how clipped a tree and got stuck at the top of it. Long story short, the aircraft was stuck at the very top of a very tall tree. I was able to climb up the tree and grab it luckily. If I were you I have a solution when you move forward with your new Drone and to add a 2nd mini gps tracker that works as a two way communication device. It's called Trackimo and another company makes a special bracket for the Mavic Pros and the DJI Phantom 4's. I have one on the back of my Mavic Pro with zero interference with the compass on my drone. The Trackimo has a sim card inside so it will automatically text you the exact location of the drone. Also, it has no effect on the flight! |
