[QUOTE="Jerry, post: 6052, member: 854"] OMG, went for a walk this morning, visited the tree, hoping with the cloudy skies, i could get a better look. it has been 36 hours since it got stuck. Was resigned to losing it forever. Caught a hint of red in the grass below the trees... no it can't be! the Winds were higher than normal last evening... did it get shaken out of the tree? a closer look... yep! unmistakable DJI Red... pushed a bunch of branches aside and got my hands on it! 2 of the props were gone! ripped off? couldn't find them anywhere nearby... (Granted i was so excited in recovering it, i didn't look that hard), apart from some tree sap, and a few mild scratches (which buffed off), it didn't look like it took too much damage. here is a photo of it on my lawn..

The gimbal seems none too worse for wear... and seems to work fine... have to try it out a few more times to see..... boy, what an experience... So there you have it - My DJI Spark survived 36 hours in a tree! [/QUOTE]
