@Meta4 suggested that a while back. The clearance in that area looks to be around 70 ft, but if the local trees really are over 100 ft tall then that, and many other locations on the mission, become possible collision points.

So I see, it was yesterday when I was looking at this in detail.....missed a post or two....
We get some mighty tall pines down in this area, so wouldnt be surprised to see over 100 footers....
The course consist of over 130 video-lectures, it is mentioned in one of them but can't remember which. When I came acros it, it seemed unlikely to me (like you do) but recognised I had this problem in some of my missions, so I did some testing myself and came to the same conlusion. To avoid this 'problem' I often split one long mission into several short ones which I then start from different locations and edit the footage to one long mission again.

I found a local guy willing to fly his drone over my path, to maybe help find a tree top view.....Question???? How do I allow him to download my litchi mission onto DJIgo? He says DJI is all he has used and is not comfortable with Litchi.
I was going to just let him use my map, but raise the altitude to 150 ft. He has a phantom 4.

Where are you located? I'd be willing to go help you look I'd you're not too far from me. I'm in Pensacola, FL
Little far north of you friend. Benson, NC. , but if your willing to make a day of it, that would be great
I think this is an excellent video demonstrating one of the several reasons it's generally a bad idea to use prop guards ...
Thanks for posting
Hope you get it back
This was my thread from last winter. It was in a tree for 2 weeks before I found it with another drone looking down along the flight path. Another drone helping you with the search would be the best. My mistake was elevation just like everyone is telling you here. (I only found it with the help I got from everyone here) If it helps --my standard endured rain and snow and below freezing temps in that tree but still worked like new after it was home for a couple days.
Man, you lucked out. I am looking for rescue volunteers now
to maybe do a flyby and hopefully spot it
I am posting Help to all the area craigslist drone sellers willing to maybe help...Raleigh, fayetteville, NC
