Stuck in a tree.
5/20/2017 at 8:02 PM

So, I take my kids out to try my sons drone for the first time, since I "thought" it wasn't windy out.
Turns out the wind really took the thing and now it's stuck up a tree on the keystone grounds. It's a pine tree and I have no clue how to go about getting it! I would think it's about 30 feet up. Any ideas on how I could get it!? I'm out of ideas.

see if one of the tree trimming companies with a bucket truck can retrieve it. Other than contacting the Keystone Centre, but doubt there will be anyone in the office till Tuesday.

what you mean about drones and wind, especially the small 'toy' type. It doesn't take much wind to move them around.

Maybe someone else with a drone could gently nudge it out with theirs.

The OP of this thread got their drone back. The fire department was able to help them.

As for the link of the drone posted, who knows. Hope whoever lost it sees this though.

Thanks guys! I had a few awesome guys from the Fire department with good throwing arms and competitive attitudes help get it out of the tree! Haha! My son was soooo happy to see it! I just have to order a few parts to fix it up and it will be as good as new! Thanks for all the replies!!
