Had the exact same thing happen to mine. Except it landed in the middle of a lake....

Yup. We had a couple of days of heavy rain and above freezing temps.

I did try to get it but hit a soft spot in the ice. Chickened out after that and headed back to shore. Wont b letting my second one out of my sight anytime soon. Lesson learned.

I do have another solo but no go pro. The solo was just a black dot out on the ice. Probably further out than i first thought it was. Would b hard to eyeball it. Anyway, as much as i hate to say, this did not end well. Its now a bottom dweller due to a heavy rainfall and above freezing temps :(...

How far do they shoot? I think im just going to walk out and get it tomorrow once im sure the ice is good. Still looking sketchy today.

Thats funny. I actually have one. Not drone trained tho.....

Lol thanks! Ill definitely need luck....

Im in Nova Scotia, Canada. The lake is usually frozen solid this time of year. Bit warmer than usual. Just above freezing here today. The temp is going to drop about 10degrees tonight. May try tomorrow afternoon sometime

Its a mile across...

About 300 yrds....

I had gps lock but not sure about home position. It always came back before. I have actually found the drone sitting out on a partially frozen lake. Gotta wait a few days till it freezes up before i attempt a rescue. Hope i get to it first....

Drone is gone. Lost signal and and got the alert "return home unavailable " . Just trying out new alpha antennas and this happened. No problems before. RIP Solo :(
