In a much more controlled and visible situation, I had a youngster... get his pride & joy Telo stuck in one my tall trees. Since he viewed me as the neighbor drone guy, his pleading face and eyes gave me reason to try. After trying various things "thrown" up to release it failed I thought I'd try my Mavic or Inspire. I was willing with a M1 or I1, but not worth the
I2.
We tried a weight from a string to possibly knock or dislodge... failed, then tried a magnet... both methods became snagged in the upper branches giving me a butt pucker moment to free my own craft. After a few self inflicted near casualties... I aborted.
To do that from a higher Altitude, harder to visually observe wouldn't be an option I'd consider unless I could release the arresting line and safely retrieve my craft by climbing up in Altitude.
The magnet is a great suggestion, I used a strong circle magnet with a center hole I had in my tool chest... but just the string or magnet can easily get entangled more than you can imagine.
A Telo, I had a moment that I'd just donate my little Telo to the Lad... low cost.
An
I2 hanging up next to a Mavic would be a sad sight to walk away from... I'd avoid it.
Story end... a bicycle pedal tied to a long twine rope tossed over the limbs... used to shake the limb freed the little Telo and I gave him a new set of props!
