You called $70 crappy. You must make a lot of money!

well... A decent starter drone is about $700-$1000. So $70 is crappy in context.

It's like $9,000 is a lot of money, but a $9,000 car is crappy.

(looking at you Suzuki car drivers)

60' man lift will get it done. Probably about 150-200 rental fee. So you are better off going get another 70$ piece of junk.

Who is this troll?



Hell yeah I understand wind forces on a small object, I had it trimmed out to counteract the current wind that we had, but the gust at 25' feet was too much and it took it up in altitude which I did not account for and since it was quickly taken out of my visual range I just shut it down to crash it, and it just happened to find the tallest branch on the tallest tree.

Get a cat and have it climb the tree. Call the fire department and have them get both at the same time.

Had it bee a decent drone I would do this. My copter could get it too, but I ain't about to risk my copter in that wind, even if it was cheaper than a six year old's toy.

I'm not calling you stupid--I would be trying to get it down too if if was reasonable.

I'm calling the guy that bought an expensive one for a young child stupid.

I'm going to wait for the wind to die down, worst case scenario, that old maple needed a trim anyway.

I'm glad none of my friends are around, they would still be giving me shite. I'm supposed to be the flying expert.
