“Two Months ago my roommate drunkenly lost my small drone on a neighbors roof. Two months later after upgrading to a larger drone I attempted a rescue of the smaller drone using hooks I made from coat hangers. Here is the result.


Also would like to add that access to the roof wasn’t possible

which lead me to this haha.”

edit: first person description is from youtube, as a responsible drinker I have never lost my own quadcopters

That’s some good flying there. What new drone did you get?

Damn that was pretty exciting. Almost felt like I was watching a daring Coast Guard rescue or something

I got a super cheap one on Amazon for around $50. It's really small, but it does have a camera and it's a great way to learn because parts are cheaper than learning on an expensive one. I'll eventually get a decent drone.

Now someone needs to make a setup to pick up stray baseballs and frisbees. 12-year-old me would have been forever grateful.
