I lost my Mini 50 feet up in a tree. It’s stuck good and I’m on vacation so leaving this location tomorrow.  I left my name and number with a couple of the businesses nearby, but have low expectations.  

So, is there a way to get just the drone?  I bought the fly more combo, sooooo....

Rent a cherry picker or ask the fire department. If they have a ladder truck they might want to use it just because (they get bored).

I got mine stuck in a tree last night at a public park.  I called the parks department this morning and one of the grounds crew, he trims the trees at all of the parks in town, met me with a bucket truck and plucked my MM out of a cedar tree 50 feet in the air.

You could call around to local tree trimmers and offer them a reward. A quick 50 bucks is worth their time if they have it.  If it’s on private property make sure you get the owners permission.  If it’s a public park call the parks department and ask.  It can’t hurt.

I believe the OP is asking if there is a place to purchase the drone by itself.
I don't think it's available alone yet.

I leave town in the morning. So, I’m sol.  It’s to late to try and retrieve it, and even earlier other obligations kept me from trying to even buy a rope and grapple.

I read somewhere that the drone by himself wont be available (from DJI).
Is that location so far from where you live?  Can you not go again?
It seems doable to me in a few different ways.
Sorry for the unfortunate lost.

Do you know anyone in the area that could handle the problem for you since you have to leave?

I was in Austin next to the Treaty Oak (not in the Treaty Oak). It’s stil there afk. The folks in the businesses around were friendly and took my name and number.  DJI support contacted me and is looking at Drone only replacement. All my fault and a bummer.

It's a shame that you didn't have time to try and recover it. Now that I have mine and have flown it, I think I'd be tempted to go buy a chainsaw and cut that tree down!! Not that I would mind you, but I would be tempted.

I did get my tello stuck in a tree like that. But I was lucky. I was in a park and there were several kids around and one had a soccer ball that he used to throw up and jar it out. I was very thankful to him even with that little drone!!
