If anyone lost a drone in camps bay area here is the ad on gumtree

DJI Magic Pro has landed in our garden in upper Camps Bay.

We have charged the battery and switched it ON few times so it can send GPS location (can be traced from DJI app). We looking to return it to its owner.

Reply to this ad with a serial number and a proof of ownership; purchase slip/drone box/DJI conformation and of its a matching serial number, we will return it to you gladly.

Susan, if he sends you the S/N could you not send an email to the owner so he knows?

A DJI reward perhaps to encourage more people to come forward with lost drones? It would be a great selling point in addition to being a well received service by DJI owners.

Cool idea! I'll report to the management, hopefully they can consider this.

Hi guys thanks for the replies. I'm not the one who found the drone but I'm trying to help find the owner.  I posted here with the aim that the owner might see the ad here. I was going thru gumtree to see if anyone had a spark controller to sell (or donate lol. Im unemployed)  and found that ad first in line and decided to try and help the people that found the drone in their yard.

droneworld in seapoint is one of the eminent dji supplier in Cape town - might be it is a local and good chance they got it from drone world. if they sold it they will have the owners details on file.

Dear Faithlay,

Indeed you are an honest and kind person.

My name is Han and I am Korean. I traveled South Africa last month with my family for 2 weeks.

I liked everything there but sadly I lost my Mavic Pro at Cape point. I flew my drone there but the strong wind took it away. I was a novice drone user and I tried all my best to bring it back home but was unable to. I searched it desperately but I could not find it as it was getting dark.

Yesterday, I found that my phone has its last fligh data and now I know its GPS data and flight path. It will be in the bush field near the road. I wish I could go back there to get it but I am back in Korea. I can send you the detaild information if you can help me.

If you can go and find my mavic, I would like to pay you $150+shipping cost to Korea as a token of my gratitude. Hope you can help me on this. Thank you.

With hindsight, the direct line of flight between Cape Point and Camps Bay is roughly 50k's so I doubt that it is the same Mavic that fanscfxxxxx lost.
I suspect his is still at Cape Point, being toyed with by the baboons!

Now! If fanscfxxx could post the crash-site GPS co-ords here, maybe some kindly soul could retrieve it for him!

Last thing, fanscfxxxxx, what is the model that you lost? This could quickly solve your problem!
