Hi guys,
Unfortunately, it finally happened to me. For the last month, I've been busy shooting in a beautiful canyon. I spent 8 full days in this canyon and it was a very nice experience for me both mentally and physically. On the last day, while I was shooting close-up of rock walls, the drone got stuck in a tree. This tree is on a rocky peak and is impossible to reach. It wasn't a hard hit, and I don't think the drone suffered any serious damage. The drone was in GPS mode with good signal quality and there was no connection problem during the entire flight.The camera was recording until the battery was completely exhausted. There's no one or nothing to blame, it's all my fault.
My phantom was my first love and I was definitely thinking of keeping it forever. Unfortunately, I’ve already lost that chance. But there's something else that upset me more than that. I'm an outdoor enthusiast and nature-lover, and very concerned about the possible damage the drone will cause to the canyon in the future. I'm particularly worried about the possibility of the battery explosion. Is the battery likely to explode in the future? Thank you in advance for your comments and answers.
OO

Bummer!

No. Nothing is likely, or even unlikely, to happen to the battery. It will shut down (probably already has) and slowly die.

Thank you captains! Here's where the drone got stuck. The distance between the home point and the drone is approximately 650 meters.

I think that one's out of reach.

II bet you could find a hobbyist rock climber to get that for you. Just like someone who loses a wedding ring, metal detector wrists are usually more than happy to help. I bet you could find something similar if you reach out maybe on Facebook or craigslist.

Next weekend I’ll do a search and scan flight to confirm the location of the aircraft. After confirmation, I'm gonna do the rescue operation. Rescue operation will be filmed with the help of a second drone pilot.
