Got a drone stuck 45' up a tree, what to do?

My tallest ladder is only 32' I got about 25-26 feet up it, with long pieces of conduit and still couldn't touch it.
May chop the branch down tomorrow.
Not my drone, but I was trying to show my dad how to fly his drone and I was keeping ot steady at 10', my dad asked me to go higher, I took it up and a gust caught it and with full forward thrust it still went straight back, I tried to crash it on the roof but it glided 100' to the tree and landed at the highest point of the tree.
It's just a crappy practice drone ($70) but still.
It's too windy to try an aerial rescue with my rc copter.
I wasn't luck enough to have an ace helicopter pilot in the vicinity like this guy LINK.
Is there a solid way to extend reach 20 feet?

Limb cutters are usually 20 feet or more.

You called $70 crappy. You must make a lot of money!

In drone talk, 70 is crappy.

$70 is crappy for a drone. Hell my 6 years old's was $500

Cut the tree down

Not-so-subtle brag. Too bad it just makes you look stupid, if true.

I believe he's just a standard OT baller, 7 figure salary, nothing special.

Buy another drone attach monofilament fishing line with a hook. Fly it over and pull off the tree

I don't know of anything that will reach 45" except maybe a ladder truck from a fire station....I am not sure even a utility bucket truck will reach that high...

He may be stupid, not understanding the wind will have an effect on something made of plastic and aluminum, weighing 43 ounces, but $70 is nothing to him! Dude's rolling in it. Must be an e-CEO.

I was talking about the one that said he bought a barely-not-a-toddler a $500 drove. He's stupid. Or lying.
Actually either way he's stupid.

It's the OT. If it was a true worthless drone I would just leave it there.
It's probably the cheapest you can get with a camera, I call it crappy because out the box the camera didn't work.

Since you down voted my first suggestion the second is even better. Get a 12 gauge shotgun and shoot it out of the tree

If the tennis balls don't work, you can:
Blow really hard
Or
Use the force
Or
Buy a monkey, and get it to retrieve it
Or
Hire Beastman to control a large bird to retrieve it (This is probably cheaper/easier than buying a monkey), but be aware that any money given to him might be used to fund any number of plots hatched by Skeletor and the forces of evil.
