Would a quad copter be strong enough to carry a throwbag and trailing line? Do they make a remote release mechanism? Could be the next big thing in arb access set-up.

 

Yes all of that is possible and all for a cheep price thanks to china :thumbup1:

 

Very basic set up will run you around £200

Why not offer a local tree surgeon your services. He gets your drone, you meet him on site one day for a couple hours and shoot some raw footage for him. Everyones happy.

It's a real shame that this thread was only bumped for some spam, and I, like all of you, am left dissatisfied and hungry for a resolution. But just for future reference, on a rock climbing harne

Wow. Cool. Could actually be something guys might seriously consider. I supposed a trained marmoset would be an option too.

Christ, there must be something in the stars today - a guy just posted a request for comment on Arboristsite - he wants to prune 50ft oaks and cypresses on his land, thinking about spiking up them and removing the branches with "a hatchet, machete and 18" chainsaw" ..(!)...holy mackerel Andy...

 

Stihl or Husky saw?

Many years ago I threw my model racing glider off a hill side , without switching it on....watched helplessly as £1500 worth of carbon fibre planted itself into the top of a spruce. Had to phone up the local tree surgeon ( as I wasn't one at the time ) to come and retrieve it . Ben Acreman . Cost me £25.

 

Why risk it for a few quid ?

If you are dumb enough to try to climb this 90 foot tree (if it is actually 90 foot) you need double the length of rope so you can come back down again. Otherwise we'll have to get a quadcopter to take you out of the tree.
