I'm standing under a very tall tree with my drone in it. Who do I call?

Oh dear, the Phantom Killer got you,sorry, you need someone to climb the tree,as suggested above, a tree surgeon would be a good start.
Hope you get it back with minimal damage.
Hope you get it back with minimal damage.
If you are in the USA........call your insurance broker...........there will be a claim for negligence.........
If you have a rock climbing club in your area I would gives them a call because most of these guys' will climb anything. I was tempted to say Who you gonna call......"ghost busters"
I really posted that because I knew you all would not disappoint with your comments. I found out it was in a cedar. Through sheer force of will I got up there. I was able to send it down and someone caught it. Problem is the camera fell off and I can't find it. Is this fixable and if so how much is the part?

And is that part replaceable without replacing the whole camera? Is it worth finding?

The camera will not be far away, keep hunting. Yes it is fixable, but expensive without the camera.
For future reference, call any tree care company with a climber. Going rate is anywhere from $75-125. I'm an arborist who speaks to many other arborists about drones, and so far few balk at the price climbers are charging.
Thank you very much. I thought about this but assumed thE cost would outweigh the advantage. Good to know next time I do something stupid.

I had the exact same thing happen to mine. Fortunately my father was a marksman in Vietnam and has continued to stay sharp with his shooting. I had him come over and he shot the limb into that was holding mine. It took about 6 shots to cut the 1" branch but he got it with no damage or $(charge)
