Mavic Pro got stuck in tree several weeks ago. Hired a tree service that brought bucket truck to retrieve from 30' up. Charge for service, 1/4 cost of Mavic Pro. Only damage to Mavic was a single propeller and to me no eating for several weeks due to thinner wallet.
Accidentally came across:
RETREEV Compact Retrieval Tool
Added the 100' Tactical Cord for a total with shipping about $40.00. It's lightweight, only a couple of ounces, and easily fits in my Mountainsmith Descent Camera Pack This is a lightweight sling backup that holds Mavic Pro, extra battery, sunshade, accessories and my Olympus EM-1 DSLR with extras.
I've cut the 100' tactical cord to 50' as I doubt I could throw grappling hook even that far. The tactic for tree retrieval is to not throw on the Mavic but onto branch and shake branch to release Mavic.
