That is hilarious!
I just use a potato gun to get mine out of trees if I can’t climb them.
Has anyone ever flown RC FPV for more than an hour without a tree encounter?
I got a quad built specifically for rescue situations. Old beat up quad, no worries if it gets stuck or lost, since I don’t fly it anyway. It’s probably around $200, definitely not a $15k Hollywood camera rig :). Glad you got them both back!
Nice vid! I have also a video of a drone rescuing another drone ๐ check it out in my channel if you like!
I got nervous there also from my experiences. Awesome recoveries! Haha! I need reminders also. Arborist 8oz throw weight, rope for most trees and/or fishing gear for the higher trees as backup for retrieving drones (cheaper than risking another drone). Letting people know where you are at (constant check ins for the riskier stuff) can be a good thing (satellite communicator gps device, radio, cell).
Great failsafe :/
Should get an autopilot which can take over if you loose the signal and just fly the path back. ๐
Hey guys coyote Peterson her we just found the rare rc quad species only found on hillsides and trees
Wow that sound is amazing 1:45 ๐ฎ
Just got an idea for you @rctestflight Can you turn on your gopro’s wifi so that if you lose it you can find it using reception power? ๐ค There’s some apps that can measure this ๐
Have you ever wrecked an Alta? So glad you recovered both of these! Great video
That first big drone looks and sounds sooo cool
rctestflight: puts 2 sponser spots in a video
me: “Why? Why do you do this to yourself? Why?”
WOW.. that Monster Alta just minced branches jeeez… weapon grade lol….. really glad the pilot saw the oscillation, that could have gotten nasty.. messed with gyros and all hell would have been released solid rescue… lesson learned… great piloting with the race quad prior… meh… trees…
The other… glade the drone and pilot got back to safety well… it’s not a fun prospect falling 2700+feet tumbling looking for a drone and cam worth a grand or so… youth are better at balance so meh…us oldies… pffft next!! at least the missus will me happy…(er) awesome vid!!
I got my mavic air 2 stuck 40 meters in a tree and had to pay a tree surgeon to get it, took him about 30mins.
Love the ALTA-X!
Being someone who lives in eastern Washington near that area heโs really lucky he didnโt step on a rattle snake retrieving his drone ๐๐๐๐๐
Why fly so close too start with๐ฅด๐คช๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
