I'm new to the forum and looking if anyone near Concord NH would be interested to see if a Drone could be used to search for a lost dog?

Thanks, that would be the best out.Best of luck
hopefully he just comes home
probably at dinner time
Good news. Our dog has been captured after 44 days and over 22 miles from home. I still think drones can play a role in this kind of search. Thanks
Congrats!! I didn't see this thread earlier or I would have pointed you to:

That is great to hear Tom. And I agree with you, I think drones would be great for canvasing neighborhoods looking for pups!
My wife is very active with some of the dog rescue groups in my area and was thinking the same thing... next time there's a lost dog getting the Phantom up in the air!
I think it would be incredibly valuable, much better coverage than in a car in far less time, your view isn't obstructed by shrubs, trees, etc like it would be from a car on the road. Only limiting factor is of course battery life.

Take a look at the Marco Polo tracker. Pet Tracking System | Marco Polo - Pet Tracking Made Easy The pet version fits on a collar, and drone version is a tag that is attached to the UAV. Basically you use a hand wand to walk toward the dog/drone. It is good for ~ 2 miles.
Keep in mind you'll still need Part 107 (Remote Operator's Credentials) as this is well outside of hobby/recreational use.
