We've heard of many uses for drones, "Arborist" hasn't been one of them. The guys from Tested.com interview Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters) and his attempt to use a DJI Inspire.

I don't recommend using the props, Heidi!
What you want is already being done, it seems:
You might contact those people (Berkeley Forest Pathology and Mycology Lab) and ask for advice (or permission to copy their approach - in case it's patented).

If theirs works, why waste ages trying to re-invent it? Just learning to operate it would be a handful for anyone.

That "tree trimming 101" video just shows that an average 700 class copter is WAY more dangerous than an inspire with a weak little saw on it. I mean, maybe it would cut you up a bit, but a 700 can dismember or decapitate you without even trying. I love people's "knee jerk" reactions to multicopters, when we've have more dangerous RC stuff for decades with an astonishingly good safety record overall.
That video is why my wife does not get to operate my drone
If I ever need a chuckle I look that video up :)
You guys just know that I was going to point out, TradHeli is the preferred aircraft for tree trimming. :D

Must have been a late April's fool joke
Haha, I think Darrell is on the right track :-)
Talk about missing the obvious. Anyone who has flown a quadcopter for more than five seconds knows you can do the same thing just by lowering the copter in to the tree. Isn't that what those four spinning blades are for in the first place? :-)
So all is fair in the middle of nowhere? Except their video goes everywhere. I have only seen two videos related to the Mythbusters flying the Inspire. One of Adam flying through a metal structure on a pier in the bay area and the one posted here. The question is not about experimentation but when to show the results of those experiments. The Mythbusters aren't using "new techology", they're using a new DJI product. As Gary mentioned, these types of experiments have been going on for years. I respect the Mythbusters and I guess I just expected a little more from them as a UAS hobbyist/professional.
