First time posting, long time reader.
Today I was flying out by the lake. I took off, went straight up, began to maneuver straight out over the lake to capture an image of a friend's house. As the SOLO moved further away from me, I lost sight of it for a few seconds. I walked toward a clearing in the trees so I could gain a better perspective. Then the controller reported that the signal was lost. That's okay, happens all the time. It typically will hover in place or return to home. I hustled down to the waterfront expecting to see it hovering there. I usually take back control once the signal has been regained. Battery was at 88% (this was maybe 25 seconds into the flight). There were no objects/obstacles to speak of. I was listening for the sound of the SOLO, but nothing. It was simply gone. Looking for any suggestions or advice on how to find it. I can only assume it went in the water. I really just want to salvage the GoPro as it is insured (SOLO is NOT). Like the title says, I have used this 100's of times over several years with little to no issues. Thanks in advance for your help!
