Don't forget your local power utility. I live in a rural area and pay a pretty reasonable price to do antenna work in a bucket. Also, an equipment rental company should have a tow behind basket that you can rent. They aren't cheap, but you rent it by the hour or day and take it back. It's just a trailer mounted basket (think bucket) that you park, setup, and ride it up to do your work. You run it yourself.
I went to visit the place with a woodcutter. He says it is like 22m (72 feet).
Tomorrow he rent this kind of bucket (used for antenna work, and so on) but it goes "only" to 60 feet and the ground is not safe. So he can only suggest to chainsaw it or call a very experienced tree climber.
I call tomorrow morning the guy responsible to administrate the forest exploitation and will ask him if I can ask a guy to tree climb
What a f.... story o_O
But actually after only 2h of flight, I already missed it a lot ... very addictive and beautiful scenery so worth fighting to get it back
The idea to use a second drone with a rope able to break in case, is excellent though
Just that around me, I am the first to buy such a device : don't have friends yet using it
was hoping to convince them ... before this crash story !!
