[QUOTE="Jerry, post: 5977, member: 854"] while trying to explore the limits of the Spark's range. I though it would be cool to try and fly around this 120' tree that was in the neighborhood... however, I misjudged the height of the tree (the spark was at 100') and while trying to round the top... one of the rotors likely clipped a branch, and it went down. This was last evening, as the sun was setting, and it was getting dark. My red spark tumbled into the tree, and seem to get wedged somewhere 50-60' up, I could still see it as the lights were flashing, and the camera was showing all branches. As it was getting dark, I couldn't do anything. I opted to wait till the morning. [IMG]https://www.cinema5d.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/dji-spark-red-sideup.jpg[/IMG] here is a short video of the last seconds of the spark - this is the video from the ipad (not the HQ from the SD card) [MEDIA=youtube]fQ04i9RdV4g[/MEDIA] here is a video I took of the lights in the tree.. [MEDIA=youtube]vuZ1FWXch_c[/MEDIA] This morning, I went out, and tried to see if I could see anything with the naked eye... no luck. Could not spot the Spark. So I came back and took the Phantom 3 Standard out, to see if I could get a better view... still no luck. Spent a long time hovering, and looking at the tree... the P3S to iPad connection was good, but being highly compressed, it was impossible to make out a Red spark in all the branches... I downloaded the video to the PC, and has been watching it non-stop for the last hour... still can't spot it. [MEDIA=youtube]q-MdDMYGsWA[/MEDIA] So I've uploaded it to YouTube (its still loading as I type this, 15mins to go), hoping that someone with keener eyes can help me spot it - spotting it would mean the first step towards a hopeful retrieval... please help, and also please share with any others whom you think have good eyes for this kind of thing... losing the spark so shortly into it's flying career is such a heart break... I really hope I can spot it and retrieve it... Thanks in advance for trying to help. [/QUOTE]
