"No Quad left behind": Searching for Rods' downed quad

As we were searching through the woods with a camera in tow, I thought I'd briefly share my process of locating a downed model.
As mentioned, we know this field well, so I already knew where to look - but it was still useful to go into google maps and look to see if there were ways into the woods which may have helped us.
This was a case of the lipo disconnecting, so meant we couldn't use a beeper, or telemetry or theVTX signal. Whilst the DVR would normally give us a good clue, entering the woods backwards didn't help us that much !
If you can see in the footage it didn't go very far in and you can just see the field through the tree line. We had already searched along there and looked through - but again, you need to be able to view things from multiple different angles if you can, else a quad will stay hidden !

Nice work man, love this idea for people who lose a quad but have DVR footage backed up! We featured this video in our favorites from May - keep up the great work!

Cool - I enjoyed your "five favourites" video - give me a few names to check out I hadn't seen before

The table could have been someone camping rough, or perhaps some kids making a base?

Yeah - our best guess was a kids den. Kudos to them though - quite how they dragged a plastic table through those woods - I'm not sure

Osd with GPS co-ords. Then you can "geocache" your DVR last position.

It's a sound idea.. and on most bigger things I fly. On a tiny race quad it seems less practical... although ideal in these circumstances!

CurryKitten i sure there is something out there compact enough. I have used the technique with my tornado flight controller on a teksumo wing. Be a good video for you to see if something out-there will do it at race quad size.

Should have looked under the table.

We did - half expecting a dead body or something - but nothing there

No buzzer? A buzzer on a switch is way better than a "3S only" sticker when you've lost your quad

All a bit of a moot point when the lipo has detached. I think he had one on there though. We could have easily tracked it down via the beeper and/or the signal from the VTX if the lipo stayed plugged in

Actually, a Dronekeeper from NicheMall is quite a handy thing to have on the craft.

6g for the dronekeeper. Looks good! however I suspect that real estate on the frame is going to be a limiting factor here.

Actually, I've found a better solution. I fly two acro frames with almost no space inside, so for me no way to install the dkeeper inside. So I decided to tape it to my runcam/gopro. This way when I crash I can easly find both, since the gopro is usually not far away from the quad itself.

Hi Henry - I'd not heard of Dronekeeper, but it looks pretty good, and importantly is pretty small/light. I will see if I can get hold of one to try. Thanks for the heads-up
