Asking for a friend... who flew his P4 backward into a big, thick grove of tall trees in a Cambodian forest. What an idiot! ;-)
I... errrr "he" was able to zero in on the general vicinity of where it was from GPS and the camera view (still live) but the forest was nearly impossible to navigate w/o a machete and it seemed the bird was hung in the canopy, 40 or 50ft up.
What would have made this a snap to find was if I could get the P4 to make an audible alarm.
In the end, poking a huge bamboo stick at the nearby trees and watching the camera to see if branches moved helped me... him... find the right tree and an expert Cambodian tree-climber plucked it down, unharmed.
So, I'm guessing there is a function to get it to make a noise to help locate it, but I haven't found it.
Any tips?
