A YouTube viewer contacted me to inform me that their drone was caught in a tree. They had attempted to knock it loose with a slingshot, by casting a fishing lure and more. We brainstormed the possibility of tying multiple balloons to fishing line and trying to maneuver the fishing line around the drone to free it. I arrived on-location to attempt the balloon rescue but the drone had already been retrieved. The way in which the drone was retrieved was death-defying and unexpected! Below is a dramatic video of the drone rescue, that the owner of the drone captured on video!
